Sir,—lt is now three and a half years since I was sorely afflicted
Alth Rheumatic Gout, the suffering from which induced me to try
811 the proposed remedies that extensive medical experience could
edevise,of the
without obtaining any satisfactory relief from pain. During
.
, the paroxysms a friend advised me to try BLAIR'S GOUT
and RHEUMATIC PILLS, observing that he had in some severe
cases taken them himself, and they proved very successful. I in-
stantly adopted his advice, and to my joy the excruciating torment
noon began to abate, and a few boxes restored me to health, since
Which I have had no return of the complaint.
I trust you will give publicity to my case, that suffering humanity
may know how to obtain a remedy for this distressing disease.
" I am, Sir, your obedient humble servant,

Gout and Rheumatic tills, which afford speedy relief to those afflicted

The never-failing effects of BLAIR'S GOUT and RHEUMATIC
ILLS in curing every description of Gout and Rheumatism, have
leertred to them a celebrity unequalled by any medicine of past

How shall my muse thy praise rehearse, 0 N.
Or, at City of the Universe?
Thou art the glory of the world,
And justly is thy fame unfurled.
Where'er we travel, far or near,
We cannot meet with thy compeer.
Thy name is chronicled in story,
And many a bard has sung thy glory.
Thy towers and temples proudly stand
The admiration of the land.
At every turn in every street
With vast attractions do we meet.

Thy trading warehouses arise,
Aryl fill the stranger with surprise;
And here does Moses' far-famed Mart
Enjoy a proud conspicuous part.
How fit is such a Mart as this
For such a vast metropolis.
This famed Depot may justly claim
The highest niche in trading fame.
Here may the choicest dress be had,
And here are thousands daily clad.
Moses and Son, from this famed Mart,
Distribute clothes to every part ;
And wheresoever we may be,
Moses and Son's attire we see.
And thus my humble tribute closes,
A compliment for thee and Moses.

The barony and estite of Islay, comprising the island of Islay
and small adjacent islands is in the same latitude as Edinburgh and
Glasgow, and is one of the richest and most productive properties in
the west of Scotland. It contains about 140,000 acres, of which
34,000 are arable, the rest being luxuriant pasture.
The present rental of this magnificent property amounts at present
to 20,000/.; but a Government grant of 30,0001. is now being ex-
pended in drainage and improvements. The rents are periodically
and legitimately increased as the leases fall in, and it is evident that
such a property must, under improved agriculture, afford a much
larger return. The purchase, it is expected, will be effected for
about 500,000/., and it is proposed to raise a capital for this purpose,
and contingent expenses, of 600,000/., in 12,000 50/. shares, each
shareholder to nominate a life, and the whole body of nominees to
be insured out of the rental, so as to secure the repayment of his
subscription to every shareholder whose nominee lapses. The
remainder of the accumulated rental is to be divided every ten years
amongst the surviving shareholders, the last survivor to inherit the
estate. On the basis of 12,000 policies, in respect of the 12,000
nominees, it is further contemplated to ingraft the general business
of a life assurance company, so as to secure an annual dividend of
profits. •
Thus it will be seen that every person taking a share in the Ton-
tine, will, under any circumstances, receive back the amount of his
investment out of the assurance fund, and will also, by way of in-
terest on his shares, receive an annual dividend out of the profits of
the general life assurance department (and the basis and guarantee
indicated cannot fail to make this branch most extensive and iucra-
tive) ; he wilt, moreover, participate, every ten years his nominee
'aryl:yes, in the accumulated and constantly improving rental ; and,
in the event of his nominee being the last survivor, will become
the absolute owner, in fee simple, of the entire estate. It is also
to be observed that, as the nominees diminish in number, the
marketable value of the shares will year after year be greatly en-
hanced.
The principles of the proposed Tontine have been maturely con-
sidered by F. G. P. Nelson, Esq., the eminent actuary of the Me-
dical and Invalid Assurance Company, and received his entire ap-
probation.
The estate is to be vested in three trustees, resident in Scotland.
The affairs of the Society shall be conducted by a board of seven
direetors in Scotland, communicating with a board of correspondence
in London. Two general meetings shall be held in Scotland in the
months of June and December.
The preliminary deposit to be ss. per share (being the maximum
allowed under the Registration Act), and a call of 11. per share shall
be made on complete registration. The remainder to be called up
by suds instalments as may be found necessary to meet the payment
of the purchase money.
Applications for shares to be made to the following brokers &c., of
whom prospectuses and forms of application for shares may be
had:—Messrs. John Robertson and Co., 47, George-street, Edin-

the fire was the result of accident.—About two o'clock
yesterday (Sunday) morning an extensive fire broke
out in the High-street of Chatham, at the residence
of Mr. Tucker, tailor and clothier. So rapid was
the lire, that it caught the next house, recently oc-
cupied by Mr. Stigant, linendraper, and which was
under repair for another tenant. Both these houses
are destroyed, and the next house, Mr. P. Lynch's,
fruiterer, is partly burnt. The dockyard engine, under
the direction of Lieutenat Wise, R.N., with a de-
tachment of dockyard police, and the Sun-engine,
were present, and rendered material assistance in
limiting the ravages of the fire.

DESTRUCTIVE FIRES.

Yesterday (Sunday) morning, shortly before three
o'clock, a very alarming fire broke out upon the
premises belonging to 11r. Trott, a builder, carrying
on business in Primrose-street, Bishopsgate. The
flames commenced, from some cause which could not
be ascertained, in the ironmongery stores, a building
of some magnitude, and separated from the City of
London Theatre by only a few feet. Police constable
245 G, who first discovered the fire, raised an imme-
diate alarm, and in the course of a few minutes the
engines of the parish, London Brigade, and West of
England attended, as well as one of the Royal So-
ciety's escapes. The flames, however, had during,
the brief interval obtained entire possession of that
portion of the premises in which they commenced,
and were rushing so fiercely through the roof as to
threaten the theatre with destruction. Fortunately
there was an abundant supply of water from the fire-
mains in the district, with which the engines were
worked with full vigour for some considerable time,
before the least impression could be made upon the
fire. Owing to the strenuous exertions of the fire-
men, however, the flames were prevented from ex-
tending to the theatre and other surrounding pro-
perty ; but they could not be extinguished until the
stores were burned out, and the premises under, in
the occupation of Mr. Johnson, grocer and coffee-
roaster, were severely damaged by water. Mr. Trott
was fortunately insured in the Phoenix Office.—About
one o'clock a rapidly destructive fire happened on the
premises belonging to Mr. T. Hill, a greengrocer,
situate at 29, Coles-terrace, Barnsbury-road, Islington.
The fire when first perceived was raging furiously in
the ground floor. The police on duty in the street
sounded an instant alarm, and sent for the engines.
Such a firm hold, however, had the flames previously
obtained, that before an engine had time to arrive the
fire was rushing forth from every window in the
building. The parish, London Brigade, and West of
England engines attended with as little delay as pos-
sible ; but, notwithstanding that the engines were
abundantly supplied with water, and ever person
exerted himself to the utmost, the flames could not be
conquered until the whole of Mr. Hill's premises
were completely gutted. Owing to the judicious
exertions of the Clerkenwell and Islington engine-
keepers, the progress of the flames was cut off just
as the adjoining premises, belonging to Messrs. Hop-
kins and Co., were on the point of becoming ignited.
Mr. Baddeley, the inspector of the Royal Society for
the Protection of Life from Fire, who was promptly
on the spot with the escape from Islington-green,
nearly lost his life in endeavouring to stop the
ravages of the fire. He entered the building
with the branch of the Islington engine, for the
purpose of extinguishing a portion of the fire not
otherwise accessible, when he was suddenly over-
whelmed by the falling of the roof, but fortunately he
escaped uninjured. A body of the N division of
police, under Inspector Thatcher, were present, and
rendered essential service. The origin of the fire re-
mains a mystery, although there is no doubt of its
being accidental. Unfortunately, the sufferer was not
insured.—ln the evening the extensive range of pre-
mises termed the Southern Mart, No. 51, Stones'-
end, Borough, immediately facing the Police-court,
were discovered to be on fire. The premises were in
the occupation of Messrs. Palmer, Franke, and Co., hat
and cap factors, and, owing to their proximity to the
Unicorn Inn and outbuildings, a fearful conflagration
was momentarily expected. Mr. Superintendent
Evans, of the M division, with Mr. Inspector Cowlan,
and a strong body of constables, immediately repaired
to the spot, and kept the immense crowd from forcing
in the shutters, by which means the flames were in a
great measure kept under. The engines of the
London Brigade and West of England Company,
under the command of Mr. Henderson and Mr. Con-
norton, quickly attended; and, there being plenty of
water obtained from the fire-mains belonging to the
Lambeth and other companies, the brigade were
enabled to confine the flames to the premises in which
they commenced; but they were not extinguished
until a large amount of property had been destroyed.
Owing to the absence of all parties connected with the
property it was impossible to learn whether
the premises were insured.—On Saturday night a fire
broke out in one of the stables of Sharsted-farm, in
the occupation of Mr. James Edwards, of Rochester,
situate near the village of Luton, about two miles
from Chatham. Owing to the combustible materials,
the flames travelled with unusual rapidity from
one building to another, thence connecting them-
selves with a row of 12 stacks, the growth of this
year, consisting of wheat, barley, oats, peas, &c.,
which were very soon in one body of fire. The in-
formation of the disaster was communicated by ex-
press to the offices of the Kent and Sun, and the
agents immediately horsed their engines and pro-
ceeded to the awful scene of destruction. They were
of no use, as there was no water, except a little in a
pond. The property destroyed, it is stated, amounts
to about 7,0001., and Mr. Edwards is only insured in
the Kent for 4,0001. There are four horses burnt to
death, three stables, one barn, and a long line of other

the water acts the part both. of a recipient and a
transmitter of heat ; and, as a safety-valve is attached
to the tubes, it may be raised to 400 or 500 deg.
Fahrenheit, without forming into steam. There is
also another advantage derived from this arrange-
ment ; the gases in the furnace become more readily
ignited by passing through the holes, or interstices,
and the surface of the boiler is more equally:heated.
In the experiment on Saturday, 561bs of coal evapo-
rated 7201bs of water in 1 hour and 12 minutes,
being more than 121 b. of water evaporated for every
11b. of coal. The average evaporation of water by
11b. of fuel being rarely 81b., there is an advantage
gained of at least 50 per cent. If the patent should
succeed as well in practical working, of course its ap-
plication to marine engines would effect a considerable
Saving. The patentee, taking for example one of the
West India Mail Packets, says that in the 45 days it
would occupy in its outward and homeward voyage,
the savinc, under his system in coal would be 6001.,
and in additional freight 1,200/ making altogether
an actual sum realised of 1,8001.

SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS,

HERALD.—The weak President of' the French
Republic, and the wicked majority of the French
Cabinet by whom he was supported, are now begin-
ning to find the real difficulties and dangers of the
Roman question. It is not with any desire to vaunt
our own foresight, that we recur to this question.
But it arises now, and will constantly arise for pub-
lic discussion; and we cannot choose but remind our
readers that when the French troops were about to
enter Rome we predicted that the difficulties of the
question were but really and truly corn-
m.encing. The spirit of the Papacy is a subtle, a

or deluded. Even among the votaries of the Roman
men honest and bold enough to denounce
this spirit. If Paul Sarpi, Bellarmine, Baro-
nius, Machiavelli, Savanarota, and Bossuet,
found occasion to impeach the policy of Rome as false
and fraudulent, how much more likely is that policy
t? appear in a hundreifold worse light to men of a
debased,different
thaer e
cobwebneithe r
casuistryenervated,
the Romish schoolmen ? The Roman system of go-
vernment,
ever since the Popes began to reign, when
not. the most imbecile and idiotic, has been the most
iniquitous, the most flagrantly corrupt and soul-de-
basing, that the world has ever yet seen. Sometimes
indeed often, it has been imbecile, corrupt, and im-
moral,. at one and the same time ; and as the Papacy
is in itself a Government unchanged and unchange-
able—as it is a' Government of a settled hierarchy,
and of traditions banded down from ages !Ong past—
as it is a Government of routine and forms settled
on the basis of the old Popish systems—we need not
say it is not merely a Government opposed to common
sense and ordinary reason, but opposed to
.H?ly Writ
itself. To suppose that a Government like this, which.
lives and moves by fraud and superstition—which
props itself up by placing a padlock on the Book of
Life—which traffics in sacred things—and which has
for ages succeeded in placing a net-work of darkness
over a large portion of the habitable globe, would
reform itself by letting in the smallest ray of truth—
would reform Catholic
would.reform itself by admitting laymen to any real
share in the administration of the Government, is one
of the pious delusions of the devout M. Falloux, and
one of the day-dreams of the ambitious, aspiring, but
empty President of the French Republic. The mo-
ment the Papacy lets in one ray of light on its exe-
crable system the moment the smallest brick of
Babylon is removed from its place—that instant
comes down toppling the whole fabric of Pope and
Papacy—of Cardinals, Camerlingos, and Sage-a
Contulta —of Segnatura di Giustizia and Seg-
natura di Grazia —of Auditor of the Chambers
and of the Rota—of Prefect of the Annova,
Major-domo of the Pontifical Palace, and of
the Congregation del Buon Governo. With all his
blindness, bigotry, and narrowness, Gregory XVI.
well saw this, and accordingly he refused, even at the
solicitation of the great powers, to alter one particle
of the old system. But Pius IX., who is a weak,
vain, and short-sighted man, thought he might run
with the hare and hold with the hounds at the close of
the nineteenth century. When, however, be found
that the effect of even his very small modicum of
reform must ultimately, and at no distant day, upset
the Papacy, this popularity-loving Pazzo of a Pope
was scared, and renouncing all he had heretofore done,
fled from Rome on the 24th of November. Since
then his course has
.been purely and altogether re-
actionary. On the Neapolitan territory he listened to
every scheme of absolute and irresponsible Govern-
ment. On and from the Neapolitan territory he
excommunicated the majority of the Roman citizens,
and on and from the same territory he blessed the Nea-
politan army proceeding to slaughter his own subjects.
This was the man whose reign a French army
was dispatched to restore, and now, having restored
him, the President and Cabinet who sent them on
this fool's mission are very much surprised to find
that neither the Pope nor the cardinals will do their
bidding. We confess we cannot very much sym-
pathise either with the silly and thoughtless Presi-
dent or his pompous and ponderous Premier. The
President in a most unconstitutional and illegal letter
—in which he has clearly outstepped his authority—
writes to his aide-de-camp at Rome that there are
four indispensable conditions to a restoration of the
Papal authority :-Ist. A general amnesty. 2.11 y.
An admissibility of laymen to all Government offices.
3dly. The adoption of the Napoleon Code. 4thly. A
liberal form of government. Now, if these be
indispensable conditions to such restoration, why was
such restoration at all attempted ? The Roman
Triumvirate and Constituente were in course of
realising—in fact, had already nearly, more than six
months ago, realised, all that M. Louis Bonaparte
contends for. The Roman Republic had proclaimed an
amnesty. Under the Roman Republic laymen were ad-
missible to all employments. Under the Roman Repub-
lic a considerable portion of the Code Napoleon would
have become the general law ; and a liberal Govern-
ment had been actually already established. Why,
therefore, were Mazzini, Arn3ellini, Saffi, Rusconi,
and others, set aside ? Why was the Roman Con,sti-
tuente turned into the street—with its President, the
cousin of M. Louis Bonaparte, at its head—by French
dragoons, under the command of Oudinot ? Rome
under the Triumvirs enjoyed tranquillity—under the
l'riumvirs justice was impartially administered—
under the Triumvirs the Inquisition and secret
tribunals were abolished—under the Triumvirs em-
ployments were secularised, and the oppressive
power of priests, monks, and inquisitors was at an
end. Why, therefore, did not President Bona-
parte and his Cabinet allow Roman citizens
thus to manage their own affairs, and to carry
their own reforms in their own fashion, more
especially as it now appears both had the same ends in
view ? Partly because a reactionist and parti pretre
majority and a ;Kira pretre Minister desired a restora-
tion of the Pope—partly because the President wished
to curry favour with the army by a foreign expedition
—and partly because a portion of the Cabinet feared
that if France did not interfere at Rome, Austria or
Naples would interfere. These were the mixed
motives that produced the Roman expedition ; and,
looking to its origin, one cannot be the least sur-
prised that it has been so utterly fruitless in good
results. Instead of increasing French influence, it
has caused the French name to be execrated—instead
of advancing constitutional government and improved
institutions, it has postponed the hopes and trifled
with the wishes of the people of Italy. There is not
in the Italian peninsula, from Turin and Genoa to
Venice, and from Venice to the Abruzzi, a man of
any mind who does not exclaim to his brethren—

" Trust not for freedom to the Franks;
They have a chief that buys and sells.
In native swords and native ranks
Our only hope of freedom dwells."

We confess ourselves that our hopes of Italy arise
from the unimprovable nature of the Papal Govern-
ment, and from the mad schemes which that shadow
of the shade of a Government is pursuing. When we
find in the month of September, 1849 the Inquisition
re-established in a city now within four or five days'
journey from Paris, and within six days' journey of
London—when we find a committee of its familiars
charged to seek out offences against religion and the
authority of the Pope, as.though one and the other were
identical—we take hope and comfort, and predict that
such things cannot long continue. When we find
as a consequence of this. Papal system that the Arch-
bishop of Naples has asked the King of Naples for
the re-establishment of the Jesuits driven ignomi-
niously from the Neapolitan territories two years ago,
and sheltered by the lay brother, Mr. Moore O'Fer-
rall, Governor of Malta, and that the King has not
only granted his request, but that Padre Fava has
again entered Naples, we take hope and comfort, for
we proclaim that with rail and steam such monstrosi-
ties cannot long continue. French officers and soldiers
will not under any system of government support
such mummeries; and left to itself, without the support
of French or other foreign soldiers, the Papal system
must soon perish. The people of Rome are quite l:
receive the regenerating influence of °n b
for a religious change. Their minds &rep: a
a few eloquent and able Englishmen, Americans,
Frenchmen, or Germans were now to appear and to
proclaim that God's Word should no longer be a
sealed book, but ought to
be read by every Italian,
the fabric of the Papacy, with all
its half Pagan
abominations, would fall asunder. n ande if

DREADFUL DEATH IN STROUD UNION WORK-
ROUSH.—
On Thursday a pauper idiot was scalded to
death at the Stroud Union Workhouse. The surgeon
had ordered him to be placed in a warm bath, and ho
was immediately conducted to one which had been just
before used by a female pauper. In it he was placed,
without the slightest precaution to ascertain the tempe-
rature of the water, and his attendants appear to have
totally disregarded his piercing shrieks. The miserable
creature was at last found in the bath scalded to death.
Those whose duty it was to attend to him plead that
they were at the moment engaged in the care of a cho-
lera patient who had just been brought in, and that he
was in the habit of crying out to alarm the other pau-
pers. The beard of guardians met on Friday, and
passed a resolutien requesting the Poor law Commis-
sioners to institute an inquiry.
