" Sir,—lt is now three and a half years since I was sorely afflicted
with Rheumatic Gout, the suffering from which induced as to try
all the proposed remedies that extensive medical experience could
devise, without obtainiag any satisfactory relief from pain. Daring
one of the paroxysms a friend advised me to try BLAIR'S GOUT
and REIEIJMATIC PILLS, observing that he had in seine severe
cases taken them himself, and they proved very successful. I in-
stantly adopted his advice, and to my joy the excruciating torment
soon began to abate, and a few boxes restored use to health, since
which I have had no return of the complalut.
" I trust you willgive 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,
" MICHAEL NASMTTII."

The above testimonial is a further proof of the efficacy of Blair's
Gout and Rheumatic Pills, which afford speedy relief to those afflicted
with gout, rheumatism, lumbago, sciatica, tic dolOreUx, pains in the
head and Pace, and all analogous complaints.

111 One half the world are desolately single, and the other
supposing them married, questionably contented. Diffidence, or a
sense of right deterro.ne the former, and miscalculated hopes em-
bitter the latter. The solitary ono may shield himself under the plea
of caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret un-
comprosing hurry ; but the truth lies deeper. Physical incapacity,
and broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness
and social content. The dowry should not be the only marriage set-
tlement. Honour and justice demand that health should form an item
in the compact; it alone dignifies the alliance. Blighted hopes or
neglect wound snore sorely than poverty or misfortune. Reader, if
these surmises concern you, procure Dr. CULYERWELL'S little
MEMOIRS On Single and Married Life, " pub. in 2 vols., Is.
each (by post, in stamps, Is. 6d. each). Let no imaginatively
reined, or prudish feeling deter you, by their titles, nor be hindered
by misinterpretation, of their supposed contents, from obtaining
them. They are not intended certainly for mere idle curiosity, but
for the closet perusal of those mere deeply interested, to whom
they are offered as antagonistic to the empyrical trash put forth on
the above subjects, by unqualified authors, which alone or
together, are a disgrace to the age. Furthermore, two other
little publications claim your attention (same price Is. each,
by post Is. 6d.) called " What to Eat, Drink, and
Avoid," and " How to be Happy." They are not merely
pamphlets, but equal in quantity a library volume, nor are they the
mere ephemeral scribblings of the hour, but the study of the author's
life, who owes his present existence, health, and position to this ob-
servance of the maxims he would inculcate—to do unto others as he
would be done unto—to live atter nature's laws—and to keep always
on the "sunny side of the way." The above works may be had of

THE COURT.—WINDSOR, FRIDAY EVENING.--In
consequence of the meeting of Parliament on the 18th
instant, the visit of the Court to Osborne House has
now been postponed until the end of this month ; it
being her Majesty's intention to open the new Parlia-
ment (notwithstanding the statements which have been
made to the contrary) in person, on Tuesday, the 23d
instant. Her Majesty, therefore, according to these
arrangements, will remain at the Castle until that period,
and proceed to the Isle of Wight in the course of that
week. The Court is expected to prolong its visit to
Osborne until within a few days of Christmas, when it
will return to the Castle for the holidays.

IRELAND.

ing of Peers, Members of Parliament, and landed
proprietors, called together by the Irish Council, was

rice Power, M.P.; O'Gorman Mabon, &c.
At twelve o'clock the chair was taken by the Right
Hon. Lord Cloncurry.
His LORDSHIP briefly addressed the meeting, say-
ing that he was sure that they would be unanimous
in adopting the resolutions which ha.d been prepared
after the fullest consideration—c Hear, hear)—for
men of all creeds and politics agreed in the necessity
which existed for Government relief ; in fact, it was
not denied that the most frightful consequences would
result from any delay being allowed to take place on
the subject.—(Hear, hear.) It was said once that if
nothing else could be done to support a people by
employment, a Government would be justified—
would be bound to employ the poorer classes in dig-
ging holes one day to fill up the next.—(Hear, hear.)
Now he (Lord Cloncurry) was of the same opinion,
and hoped that the Government would fill up the
holes this year which they dug the last. They should
do so at once, for employment was required to save
human life.—(Hear, hear.) In conclusion, his Lord-
ship called on the secretary to read the reports from
the committee, which he strongly recommended to
the consideration of her Majesty's Ministers, together
with the resolution which would be proposed for the
adoption of the meeting.
Sir COLEMAN O'LOGHLEN, Bart., then read the
following reports, which were adopted by the as-
sembly.

"REPORT OF THE IRISH COUNCIL TO THE AGGREGATE
MEETING or PEERS, MEMBERS OF PARLIAMENT, &C.

"The Irish Council having invited your attendance
at a public meeting in Dublin, on this day, and hav-
ing undertaken to communicate such suggestions as
in their power, on the subjects which appear most
urgently to call for your presence and deliberation,
beg leave to submit to your attention the subjoined
expression of their opinion on the subjects following:—
"1. As to supplies of food. That it will again be
necessary to procure and distribute supplies of food
to great numbers of our destitute population. That
although this necessity arises from a calamity to meet
which the funds of the State are properly applicable,
yet, that in default of such provision by the State, it
is the duty of the Irish people, to the full extent of
all the resources of the country, to provide against
any of our fellow-countrymen perishing from want
of the necessaries of life. That, therefore, we are
of opinion—seeing that further appeals, however just,
to the Imperial Treasury would but perpetuate the
reproach and evil of national mendicancy—that we
ought ourselves to bear the charge of supplying Go-
vernment with the means of purchasing whatever
may be requisite for preserving the lives of this people ;
and we invite the Parliament now about to assemble,
to impose a tax on Ireland for that purpose without
delay.
"That it is the duty of Government, being so sup-
plied, to provide adequate means for the prompt and
economic procuring and distributing of relief ; and
the Council earnestly hope that the public servants
who are charged with that grave responsibility will
profit by the experience of the past year, so as to
save our society alike from the loss of human life and
from the degradation of unnecessary reliance on elee-
mosynary support.
" It appears to the Irish Council that the only just
mode of imposing such a tax as they think this
country ought to be willing to undergo for these
purposes, is by such method, direct or indirect, as
shall distribute the burden rateably, and make avail-
able the means of all those who can afford to contri-
bute to the common necessity. The Council have
never ceased to protest against the injustice of charg-
ing taxation for such purposes on a particular class
of the community ; they have seen, with alarm for
the safety of the whole social fabric, the attempt, by
force of such a partial distribution of taxation, to con-
fiscate the estates of the landed gentry of Ireland, and
have heard with indignation the calumny which would
impute dishonest motives to men who only contend
against being burdened with more than their rateable
proportion of the public loss, and who, the Council
are persuaded, will never shrink from the just liabi-
lities and duties of their position.

" The Council, entertaining these views, have given
much consideration to the question of permanent as
well as temporary measures for the relief of the
poor ; and the result of the fullest consideration
which they have been able to give this subject, is their
opinion :
" That in any permanent poor-law for the country,
all the charge beyond such local rate as may be
sufficient to give individual inducement to keep down
pauperism, ought to be borne by an income or pro-
perty-tax. That the aged and infirm destitute ought
to be comfortably provided for, and relief to the able-
bodied given only in exchange for labour; and that
in addition to an alms department for the aged and
infirm, each relief establishment ought to comprise
an industrial department and school of labour, and
ought to be made, as far as possible, to support its
own expenses.
" The Council are, however, sensible that we must
not only seek to distribute equitably the wealth which
we possess, but we must use every effort to increase
our means by the production of additional wealth ;
and seeing that the necessity of some additional stimu-
lus to agricultural improvement generally admitted,
and that a law securing compensation to tenants for their
improvements, would probably induce a large expen-
diture of capital and labour, and greatly increase the
annual return from our soil, the Council have devoted
much attention to the subject of a Tenants' Compen-
sation Bill; and beg leave to refer to the report of
their sub-committee, suggesting the principal provi-
sions of such a measure.

and remunerative scale, into many districts where
previously that crop was unknown.
" The additional wealth which might be drawn
from our fisheries has been another subject of much
consideration ; and it is very satisfactory to the
Council to refer to the Irish Fishery Company,
which now only awaits the granting of its charter
to commence active operations.
" The Council have already 'made public their
vie ws respecting the best mode of encouraging re-
productive industry in manufactures, and beg leave
to refer you to their report and petition, which em-
body their views on that subject.
" Another subject which has occupied the attention
of the Council is that of currency ; and it being
their opinion that additional currency is necessary
to supply the place of those irregular mediums of ex-
change attendant on the potato system of agricul-
ture, they would beg to suggest the expediency of
taking some steps to procure an issue of Government
debentures for this country.
" The Council being desirous to take your opinion
on the several topics above indicated, have drawn up
a series of resolutions, expressive of their opinions on
each, and beg leave to submit them to your

Nov. 3, 1847."

" FIRST REPORT OF THE SUB-COMMITTEE OF THE
IRISH COUNCIL ON THE RELATION OF LANDLORD
AND TENANT IN IRELAND-
" Your Committee having in the first place directed
their attention to the consideration of the best method
of securing to a tenant compensation for his improve-

ments, in case of his removal, beg leav t to bring
before you the following suggestions for a Tenants'
Compensation Bill, as the result of their e &liberations
on the subject :
, "1. That an improvement' entitling. to .compen-
sation, should be defined to be any work exec uted by
a tenant which should increase the letting value of
the land.
"2. That there should be a register c ;improve-
ments in every barony, in which should be entered
all improvements made by a tenant for w -hich he in-
tends to claim compensation, such registe r to be kept
by the clerk of the peace for the time bein g.
"3. That a party desirous of register ing his im-
provements, should serve notice of his int( estion so to
do on the clerk of the peace, and on his landlord or
his agent, one month at least before the fame for re •
gistering the same; specifying in such nc. lice the im-
provement proposed to be registered, and the period
within which it was executed.
" 4. That the registration of improvements should
take place at a fixed time before some local tribunal,
such as the baronial or quarter sessions, or board of
guardians ; and that on the day appointed for regis-
tering the same the applicant should attend before
such tribunal and should prove the particulars speci-
fied in the notice. •
"5. That where the improvements proposed to be
registered should be agricultural improvements,
the only matter to be inquired into before such
tribunal (except in
the case of drainage and
subsoiling) should be the fact of the work having
been done by the tenant—the time when executed—
and the services of the necessary notic es; and if it
should appear that the work had been done. and the
necessary notices served, then the nature and descrip-
tion of the work and the time of its execution should
be entered in the register book of the clerk of the
peace, whose duty it should be, in person or by deputy,
to attend before such tribunal.
" 6. That in the case of drainage and subsoiling,
the landlord, or his agent, should have notice pre-
vious to the execution of the work, and •opportuities
of inspecting it during its progress, so. as at the
time of registration to be enabled to dispnte, if
necessary, the description or specification of the
work as given by the tenant; and at the time of
registration, proof of such notice having been given,
should, in addition to the other matters, be required
from the tenant.
" 7. That no tenant should be entitled to register
farm or other buildings of a permanent nature, of any
greater value than: two years Poor-law valuation of
his farm unless he shall have had the consent in wri-
ting of his landlord to the erection or to the registra-
tion of the same—such consent to be filed with the
clerk of the peace on effecting the registration.
"8. That every tenant, on the expiration of his
tenancy, should be entitled to compensation for all
his exhausted registered improvements, such com-
pensation to be the full value of the same, in their
then state and condition.
"9. That in the event of disagreement as to the
then value of said improvements, the same should be
ascertained by arbitration—one arbitrator to be named
by the landlord, and one by the tenant, with power to
shallsuch
agreearbitrators u topo
upon
suchselect a
umpire,
mpiumpirere,the matter in dis-
pute between them should be referred to an official
; and in case they
referee, whose decision should be final.
"10. That in ascertaining the existing value of the
tenant's improvements, the arbitrators should, in the
first place, estimate the cost of such improvements ;
and should then ascertain the difference between
the full improved rent of the land, and the rent for
which, without such improvements, it would then let
to a solvent tenant on a lease for 21 years; and if
said difference should amount to seven per cent., or
upwards, on the cost of said improvements, estimated
in manner aforesaid, then the arbitrators should award
to the tenant the full amount of such estimated cost ;
and in case the same should be less than seven per
cent., then only a proportionate part of such estimated
cost, and the sum so awarded should be deemed the
unexhausted value of said improvements.
" 11. That where any waste should have been
committed upon any portion of the letting, the arbi-
trators should take the same into consideration, and
having ascertained the amount, set it off against the
compensation, and strike a balance.
" 12. That on the expiration of a tenancy, every
landlord should have the option of at once paying off
the amount so ascertained as due to the tenants for
improvements, or of granting to the tenant a renewal
of his tenancy for 21 years, at such rent as should be
settled upon by mutual agreement between the
parties.
" 13. That in the event of disagreement as to the
rent, the same should be settled by arbitration ; such
rent to be the fair letting value of the lands in their
then state and condition, on the assumption of their
being, at the time of the valuation, to be let on lease
for 21 years to a solvent tenant paying a fine for the
lease, equivalent to the amount of compensation so
ascertained to be due to the former outgoing tenant.
" 14. That on such lease being granted (which the
lessee should have the power of assigning), the same
should be a satisfaction to the tenant for all claims
for improvements made up to the time of granting
such lease.

" 15. That where a lease for twenty-one years
should not be sufficient to repay a tenant for his im-
provements (as might occur in the case of the re-
clamation of waste land), the arbitrators should decide,
in the event of disagreement, to what term of years
the new lease should be extended.
" 16. That in case of an eviction of a tenant's in-
terest for non-payment of rent, where the amount due
to the tenant for improvements was more than the
amount of rent due, the landlord should have the
option of paying to the tenant the value of his im-
provements, ascertained in manner before mentioned,
less by the amount due to him fur rent, taxes, and
costs ; or, in case of his refusal so to do, the tenant
should have the power of assigning his interest to any
other person who would pay to the landlord the full
amount due to him ; provided, however, that if the
tenant should not obtain a purchaser for his interest
within the time now limited for redemption, his claim
to compensation should absolutely cease.
" In addition to these suggestions, your committee
consider it advisable that in any legislation on the
subject, it should be provided, that in the event of the
determination of the tenancy of a middleman, the
owner in fee, or other head landlord, should make
compensation to him for such improvements as the
latter may have made compensation for to the occu-
pying tenant, such compensation, however, to be the
then existing value of such improvements; and also,
that the 21 years' compensation lease should be good
in all cases, even when the party who made it had
not power to make so long a lease, unless the rever-
sioner or remainder man should pay to the occupying
tenant the value of the then unexpired term of cum-
pensation lease, ascertained by a valuation.
"In laying before you this plan for a Tenants'
Compensation Act, your committee have confined
their attention to improvements to be effected after
the pasinogre
by of the proposed Act, and have been ac-
tuateda desire of obtaining the opinion of
practical
men in various districts as to the general
ms
applicability of the plan they propose than of ex-
pressing their own conclusive opinion upon the
subject.

"With respect to registration, they have adopted
machinery similar to that under the Planting Acts,
requiring, as under those Acts pave in the peculiar
case of buildings above a certain value), no previous
consent of the landlord, as to require such consent
would, in the opinion of your committee, in very
many cases, involve the tenantin a controversy with
his landlord, which it is desirable to avoid. In the
cases of drainage and subsoiling, however, in which
deception could be so easily practised, your com-
mittee have deemed it right to recommend that the
landlord, or his agent, should have notice previous to
the execution of the work, and opportunities of in-
specting it during its progress, in order to afford se-
curity against fraud.

the increased letting value of the lands
created by
the improvements. The first plan appeared to the
to
majority of your committee to be unjust a tenant,
being based upon the assumption that he was not
entitled to get more than a certain rate of interest
his capital, and that whatever he receivedfor
beyond
that should be applied in liquidation of the principal ' -
whereas they saw no reason why a tenant should be
prevented from realising any amount of interest he
could obtain from his capital, by the proper applica-
tion of his industry and skill, or be deprived f the
value of his improvements, if unexhausted at the time
of his removal ; while, on the other hand, the second
plan appeared to be open to the objection of being
unfair to the proprietor in fee, as it gave to the
tenant not only the value of his improvements, but
also any additional value they might derive not from
his industry or skill, but from the extra fertility of
the soil—a benefit which appears to your committee
to be fairly the property of the landlord and not of

the tenant."
In conclusion, your committee desire to express
their conviction, that whether as regards the in-
