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

York,
" To Mr. Th•mas Prout,

" 14th June, 1647.

" SlE.—Having suffered most dreadfully for the last six years trona
repeated attacks of the gout, and receiving no benefit fret* 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. Whea 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 tey 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 Thonias 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
the name and address of " Thomas ]'rout, 229, Strand, London," im-
pressed upon the Government Stamp affixed to each box of the
Genuine Medicine.

311 One half the world are desolately single, and the other

of caution and worldly prudence, and the indiosoluble, regret un-

and broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness
and social content. The dowry should net be the only marriage set-

THE MOST DURABLE OUT-DOOR PAINT EVER INVENTED.
CARSON'S ORIGINAL ANTI-CORROSION
PAINT, specially patronised by the British and other Go-
vernments, the Hon. East India Company, the Principal Dock Com-
panies, and other public bodies, &c., is particularly recommended to
the Nobility, Gentry, Agriculturists, Manufacturers, West India Pro-
prietors, and others, it having been proved by the practical test of
more than sixty years to surpass all other paints as an out-door pre-
servative. It is extensively used for the protection of wooden houses,
farm and other out-buildings, farming implements, conservatories,
park-paling, gates, iron railings, iron hurdles, copier, zinc, lead, brick,
stone, old compo, and stucco fronts, and tiles to represent sating.
The superiority of the Anti-Corrosion to every ether paint for out-
door purposes may be easily inferred from the simple fact, that its
use has been always most strenuously opposed by colour manufac-
turers, painters, oil and colourmen, and others interested in the sale
of common paints. It is also -very economical, any labourer being
aye tolay it on.
Colours—White stone, light stone, drab or Portland stone, Bath
stone, light and dark yellow stone, light and dark oak, light and
dark lead, light and dark chocolate, bright and dark red, black, and
brown, 345. per cwt. ; invisible green, 50s. bright green, 60s. ; deep
green, 60, ; and blue, 60s, per cwt. ; in casks 28 lbs., 56 lbs., and
112 lbs. eaeh. Oil and Brushes.

The Original Anti-Corrosion Paint is only to be obtained of
WALTER CARSJN (Successor to the Inventors), 15, TOKEN-
HOUSE-YARD (back of the Bank of England), who will show be-
tween 400 and 500 Testimonials received from the Nobility, Gentry,
and Clergy, who have used the Anti-Corrosion for many years at
their country seats.
A Copy of the Testimonials will be cent on application.

SURREY THEATRE.
We are pleased to be able to speak in terms of praise
of the present management. There appears every effort
made and pains taken to produce pieces in a perfect
manner, both as regards scenery and dresses. Last night
Othello was produced, for the purpose of introducing a
young aspirant for histrionic honours, in the person of a
Mr. Mead, a gentleman who has been reaping a harvest
of applause in the provinces. Mr. Mead was evidently
suffering from excessive nervousness last evening; but
still it was evident that there was "stuff " about
him, and he will become a useful and effective actor.
The rest of the parts were well sustained, the dresses and
scenery were of the most perfect nature, and here we
cannot resist the gratify ing duty of speaking of the Des-
demona of n holy named Ponisi, it was truly natural,
and displayed considerable mind; seldom have we seen
the part more perfectly pourtrayed. The Cassio of Mr.
Shepherd was a good conventional reading of the part.
The tragedy was followed by a new ballet called
L'Amour dans le monde des Flcurs, produced under the
direction of Mr. Frampton, whose juvenile pupils sus-
tained the principal characters, and played and danced
with singular ease and grace. Miss Frampton in par-
ticular, the daughter of the clever originator of the piece
was highly successful in the part of 'the Queen of Roses,
and the elegance and precision she displayed in dancing
a number of difficult pas with Master Forrest and Mr.
H. Parke, proved her to possess Terpsichonian talent of
no mean order. Most of the dances were the invention
of Mr. Frampton himself, and both his own exertions
and those of his young friends well merited the hearty
applause bestowed on them.

QUEEN'S versus ROYAL THEATRE.

(FROM A CORRESPONDENT.)
HULL, Mimi" 26.—An application was made by Mr.
Caple, the lessee of the Queen's Theatre, for a licence
to open the same for the representation of the legitimate
drama during the ensuing twelve mo.nthsowhich applica-
tion was opposed by the proprietors of the Royal
Theatre. There was a very full attendance of the ma-
gistracy, consisting of J. L. Smith, Esq., mayor; James
Henwood, Esq., George Coukman, Esq., B. M. Jalland,
Esq., W. B. Carrick, Esq., R. Blyth, Esq., R. Tottie,
Esq., T. W. Palmer, Esq., J. Egginton, Esq., Thomas
Newmarch, Esq., John Beadle, Esq., and John Gor-
sham, Esq. The matter was considered of so consider-
able importance that both . applicant and. opponents
deemed it necessary to employ counsel. Mr. Seymour,
who appeared for the applicant, made a very stirring
and animated appeal to the bench, showing the absurdity
of restricting the Queen's being opened only nine
months in the year, and thus nursing a mono-
poly by the Royal during December, January,
and February. Mr. Blanchard, who appeared on behalf
of the proprietors of the Royal, did not attempt to throw
any doubt upon the manner in which the Queen's
Theatre was conducted, nor upon the character of Mr.
Cape!, the lessee, who had caused numerous letters to be
handed to the bench, speaking of him in the highest
terms, but the Hull magistrates bad, on two former oc-
casions, decided that the R,,yal should have the sole
right of enacting plays in the borough of Hull during the
months of December, January, and February, and he
prayed them not now to nullify their previous decisions.
The magistrates retired, and after some time returned,
when the Mayor announced that they had decided to re•
new the licence as before, that is for nine months, not to
include December, January and February.
It is really impossible to divine what could have been
the reasons for so many magistrates coming to so singu-
lar a decision; it could not be a question with them
whether the Royal suffers from the Queen's or not, be.
cause as the Royal has its summer season as also its
winter, why not compel the
Queen's to close whenever
the Royal is open, and it cannot be on account of any-
thing being wrongly conducted at the Queen's, or why
grant a licence at all. Shakspere might truly say—
" Man, cloth'd in a little brief authority," &c.

THEATRE ROYAL, CORK.
For the first time in our theatre the beautiful opera
of the Crown Diamonds, by the celebrated Auber, was
produced on Monday evening to an overflowing house,
attracted doubtless us much by the anticipation of hear-
ing the composition of this great master fittingly ren-
dered as by the established reputation of the compo-
sition itself. Nor was expectation—even the most fas-
tidious— disappointed; for the opera from the rising of
the curtain to the fall, exhibited a combination of varied
and exquisite melody, as well as a succession of vocal
triumphs on the part of the principal performers. The
cast was as follows:—Don Henrique, Mr. Harrison;
Rebolledo, Signor Borrani; Catarina, Miss Rainforth;
Campo de Mayor, uncle to Don Henrique, Mr. Corti;
Diana, Miss Fitzgerald. The first feature in the piece
was the " Muliteer" of Borrani, which called forth a loud
encore, with which demand he readily complied. In the
same act came on the duet " Oh, sweet conversation,"
between Miss Rainforth and Harrison, the exquisite
melody and beautiful execution of which also subjected
the performers to a demand fr.m she haute for its repe-
tition, which was acceded to with, it possible, in•
creased effect and finish. In tho second act
occurs the beautiful, but trying and most
difficult duet "In the deep ravine," allotted to Miss
Rainforth and Miss Fitzgerald, and in the performance of
which both combined to achieve a triumph of no ordi-
nary character. The effect. was beautiful—the clear
enunciation of every note of the sometimes rapid and
always difficult music assigned to the principal, blending
most liquidly with the accurate and effective second
rendered by Miss Fitzgerald. It were needless to say a
thunder of applause with reiterated encores followed, and
amid renewed plaudits it was gracefully repeated. The
next triumph fell to the lot of Mr. Harrison in the
charming ballad " Oh, whisper what thou feelest," ex-
pressly written for, and introduced by him, on the occa-
sion. Of the many songs which devolve on Mr. Har-
rison in his extensive role there is not one, in our opinion,
which suits him so well, or affords such scope for the
utterance of those exquisite tones so peculiar to his
voice, the true quality of which hero displays itself in
surpassing sweetness. The style of the ballad is simple,
yet thrilling. and there was thrown into it such a feeling
of soul and delicacy of persuasiveness, that one knew
not which to admire more, the composition itself or the
style in which it was rendered by Mr. Harrison, an idea
of which may be formed when we state that after re•
sponding to an encore, and singing it twice over, as warm
an anxiety was manifested for a third repetition; and it
was only in consideration of the fatigue consequent on
his compliance with the demand that the house ceased to
be further exacting. Some beautifully executed trios and
quartets followed, in which the deep effect of Messrs.
Borrani and Corri's voices were tellingly felt and most
warmly applauded. But the chef d'auvre of the night
was the cavatins, " Love dwell with me," by Miss
Rainforth. Here indeed was a difficulty to be en-
countered, and a number and complication of " bars" to
be surmounted, more numerous and complex than ever
presented their dread front to a rider at the " Derby" or
" Ascot." But the trained flexibility and finely culti-
vated sustaining power of voice possessed by Miss Rain-
forth carried her triumphantly through, when a stormy
demand was made for a repetition,
which was met, and
most justly, by the considerate portion of the audience
with cries of "shame." However, Miss Rainforth
cheerfully responded, though it was evident her compli-
ance overtaxed her capability. The opera from first to
last was most creditably put upon the stage, and the
acting of the minor characters, as well as the accuracy of
the chorus, showed that no inconsiderable amount of
pains had been taken to drill and perfect them. Mr.
Corti, who seems to possess that rare faculty of making
himself at home in every character which ho takes on,
and to which he imparts traits peculiarly his
,own, was
admirable as the pompous self-sufficient old ' Minister
of the Interior." Miss Fitzgerald and Dirs. Normanton
are decided acquisitions. At the fall of the curtain the
manager announced, amid loud applause, the repetition
of the opera for Tuesday evening.—Cork Examiner,
March 21.

STATE OF TRA.DE:--BIBMINGHAM, MONDAY:—
Some of the manufacturers of this town are well em-
ployed, but generally trade is not so good as before
Christmas it was anticipated it would be in the spring
months. The iron trade continues brisk, and by some
persons a further advance of 10s. per ton is spoken of as
likely to take place at the ensuing quarter-day, but the
more discreet ironmusters consider that the present rate
of 71. los. per ton ought to be maintained. Little is
doing in pig-iron, but prices are firm at the advanced
quotations. The coal trade is flat, owing to the approach
of summer. The price of copper within the last few
weeks has advanced very considerably.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.
TATTERSALL'S.—YESTERDAY.
The Northamptonshire Stakes betting was confined to
the two favourites and Vasa, each of whom improved on
the previous quotations. Fern'aill was nominally at 9to
1 until near the close of the room, when he receded to
20 to 1. He is said to have met with an accident on the
railroad. Very little was done on the other events; but
it will be seen that Chatterer sprung ten points for the
Derby, and that Westow was also quoted at an improve-
ment. The betting, on the whole, was uncommonly dull.

IMPRISONMENT OF THE REV

JAMES SHORE.

The persecution of the Rev. James Shore has excited
a feeling which will not be readily elle) ed. Large
meetings have been held in London during the past
week—one in the Tower Hamlets, at which Sir Wm.
Clay, Bart., presided; and another at Exeter Hall, Mr.
Lushington, the Member for Westminster, presiding,
and who on being called away on parliamentary busi-
ness, was succeeded in the chair by the Right lion. the
Earl of l)ucie. At the former meeting, Dr. Pe2d, who
had made a flying visit to his imprisoned brother, nar-
rabid the circumstances of the case; and in the latter,
the Rev. Mr. Binney gave a most lucid and interesting
narrative of the whole case, placing the facts before the
London public in such a way as to render them patent to
the dullest hearer. The Hon. Baptist Noel and the
Rev. Dr. Beaumont, a distinguished Wesleyan minister,
also took part in the proceedings at Exeter Hall, and
such an array of influential parties assembled at the
meeting as has never been surpassed, even in this focus
whence have originated so many important religious,
we might almost say national, movements. Meetings
have also been held in various parts of the country, and
the agitation has only just begun. Several deputations
have visited Mr. Shore, Dr. Reed last Friday, the Rev.
and venerated Dr. Raffles, of Liverpool, on Tuesday.
A deputation is also to come from Exeter Hall, as the
bearer of an address of condolence written on vellum,
and beautifully framed, as a memento of this remarkable
event, which is both disgraceful to the Church and the
civilisation of the country. The important Plymouth
meeting, briefly noticed elsewhere, have also voted a de-
putation, and deputations have likewise been sent from
various religions bodies. Mr. Shore has also bad the
most gratifying offers of more substantial sympathy.
On Sunday he received a munificent offer from a gentle-
man to pay the whole of the Bishop's demand. On Wed-
nesday another benevolent individual remitted a draft for
the amount of the Episcopal "attachment" under which
Mr. Shore is imprisoned, and on mentioning it to the
governor of the gaol, that worthy gentleman informed
him of the tender forethought exercised in his behalf—
that notwithstanding that specious and very candid
letter of Mr. Ralph Barnes last week, which was in-
tended to convey the impression, that he would be let
out on payment of the attachment of the Privy Council,
another detainer was now lodged against him in the
event of the first being paid. So much for Mr. Secre-
tary Barnes's candour; we had a very high opinion of
this gentleman for a considerable period, notwithstanding
that many shrewd people would shake their heads and
declare their belief that the prelatical agent was fit for
the episcopal work.
It will be seen by public announcement that a meet-
ing will be convened in this city for Wednesday next,
when the celebrated Sir Culling Eardley will take the
chair. We have no doubt, from the state of feeling in
the town, that a full and enthusiastic meeting will
convey to the empire at large the public feeling of Exe-
ter on this great outrage, committed by the laws, at the
instance of a Bishop of the Established Church, upon
one of the humbler clergy. Enough has been said, per-
haps, upon the personal part of the matter, and the ex-
tent to which the Bishop has compromised himself
therein. It is known that the Bishop took a dislike to
Mr. Shore, that lie forbade him to preach at Chudleigh,
apprised the new vicar of his dislike of him in Bridge-
towa—that the vicar, adopting a course which was
pleasing to the episcopal mind, refused to give Mr. Shore
his nomination, and that the Bishop, not ignorant of
this refusal, pressed Mr. Shore for the nomination, ac-
tually writing that he had " been waiting in vain expec-
tatio❑ of receiving it." That, however, is not now the
question—whether a revengeful spirit was seeking satis-
faction by the most discreditable means, or whether the
alleged impediment was the true cause of shutting Mr.
Shore out of Bridgetown Chapel, we need not now dis-
cuss—public opinion has pretty well determined that
point. But assuming that the Bishop hath "done nought
in hate, but all in honour"—in either case, honest, in-
dependent Churchmen will come forward to free the
Church from this most signal opprobrium with which
she is loaded. Those who believe that the Bishop
has acted in conformity with the law, that he was
bound to enforce the law, and that it has given him
great pain to shut a brother clergyman in prison, will
attend this meeting with alacrity, in order to establish
the Bishop's good faith, and to correct the law's evil
structure. We hope that Mr. Ralph Barnes will appear
at this meeting on Wednesday, and that he will enter
upon e plain and honest defence of his master, and give
some account of the feelings of the Right Rev. Prelate,
so that in this Cathedral city the people may know whe-
ther it would be right to entrust him with a petition to
the House of Lords, to correct this great evil. They
might also mo% e a vote of sympathy and condolence,
under circumstances which they may charitably
assume must have been very painful to his feelings.
In either case the Bishop is a❑ object of snore
sincere pity than the reverend object of Episcopal
attachment. Air. Shore is sustained by the high
impulses of an honest nature, and cheered with
the approbation of every honest and right-minded
man, of all creeds and classes. He is not
only soothed by the kindest expressions of heartfelt sym-
pathy, but he is sustained by the most substantial tokens
of generous esteem. The Bishop, on the other hand, is
in an infinitely more degraded and inferior position. If
he have sought an opportunity to enforce this barbarous
law for revengeful purposes, how miserable must he
feel, what bitter disappointment must harass him in
in his hours of solitude and constrained reflection, when
he witnesses the earnest indignation of a generous people
on the one side, and the lofty courage of the victim on
the ether, whose prison is a palace, illumined by the
sunshine of a rising triumph, and where the halo of sus-
tained latriotism adorns the bare walls, and gilds the
meanest article of the furniture of his narrow abode.

It is the old story of the pound of flesh, without the drop
of blood; the knife is keen and the scales adjusted, but
there is not one drop of bluod within the due and forfeit
of the bond.
We pity the Bishop.— Western Times.
