AN Additional and Important Evidence of the
Salutary Effects of BLAIR'S GOUT and RHEUMATIC
PILLS, from Mr. Samuel Dixon, of Kingscliffe, Northamptonshire.
Kingscliffe, Northamptonshire, March 14, 1846.
To Mr. Thomas Prout, 229, Strand, London.
" Sir,—l feel it a duty which I owe to yourself and the public to
„form you of the great benefit which I have derived by taking
Blair's Gout and Rheumatic Pills. During several years I was fre-
quently laid up by attacks of gout, being unable to attend to business
for months at a time. I had often been advised to try Blair's Pills,
but it was not until a friend pressed them upon me that I was in-
duced to take them. and from which I found speedy relief. This is
several years ago, but I continue to take them whenever an attack
comes on, and am thereby enabled quickly to resume my business.
• I am, Sir, your obedient servant,
" SAMUEL DIXON."
The above testimonial exhibits the never-failing effects of this
valuable medicine, which affords to the afflicted with gout, rheu-
matism, lumbago, sciatica, and all analogous complaints, speedy and
certain relief.

Among the many discoveries that characterise the present age,
none have contributed so much to the comfort and ease of the com-
munity, nor conferred such a boon upon suffering humanity, as the
important discovery of BLAIR'S GOUT and RHEUMATIC PILLS,
the efficacy of which has been tested by the approval and recommen-
dation of many of the greatest men of our day. They are effective
for gout and rheumatism in all its various forms, including sciatica,
lumbago, pains in the head and face, frequently treated as tooth-
ache, &c. They require neither confinement nor attention of any
kind, and invariably prevent the disease attacking the stomach, brain,
or other vital part.

THE SEPARATE SYSTEM.
At the Dorset Quarter Sessions, on Tuesday, the
larquis of Westminster again introduced to the
Court. his opinions upon the subject of prison dis-
Time and separate confinement. The topic had
ecupied the attention of the Court upon three former
.ccasions, and has as many times been noticed in our
•olumns. On this occasion the Noble Marquis ob-
erved, that the subject still weighed upon his mind,
in.d
.the more strongly, because he felt, when com-
maing a prisoner to the gaol of Dorchester he was
:ommitting an irreparable injury. He had a perfect
collection of one case of this kind, where the man
eft the gaol much worse than when be was sent
here, and his re• commitment became necessary.
the question was whether or no the separate system
was the only means that had been found effectual in
•eforniing offenders, and he submitted that it was.
En proof of this, the Noble Marquis adduced the re-
port of the chaplain of the Preston House of Correc •
tion, the opinion of the Governor of the Glasgow
House of Correction, the experience of the Model
Prison at Pentonville, attested as it was, lay
,
Lord Chichester, the Speaker of the House of
Commons, Sir B. Brodie, Major Jebb, and
others ; the sentiments expressed at a meeting at
Frankfort last year of benevolent and distinguished
men from England, France, Russia, Germany, Swit-
zerland, Italy, Spain, Belgium, Sweden, Holland,
America, and other nations ; and at which meeting
a unanimous resolution in favour of separate and
solitary confinement was agreed, to.; the reports of
the inspectors of the Western Penitentiary, at Penn •
sylvania, the testimony of Judge Par sons when
charging a grand jury in Philadelphia, and the
opinions of Lord John John Russell in 1837, and of
Sir G. Grey during his present term of office;—all
which were expressive of the good effect, under pro-
per management, of the system for which he con-
tended. This system had already been carried out in
twenty-eight prisons, with three of which he was
conne&ed, and he wished to add Dorset to the num-
ber. He knew that in rural districts there was a
great objection to laying out money, but he wished
them to look at this question more as tradesmen than
farmers, calculating upon the ultimate return rather
than upon the present advantage. He concluded a
long address by leaving the subject in the hands
of the Court, expressing himself, however, un-
willing to relinquish a question which he considered
of vast consequence to the moral state not only of
thot county, but of the nation at large.
Mr. G. BANES, M.P., the chairman, after thank-
ing the Noble Lord for the able and comprehensive
manner in which he had stated his case, observed that
it was very true that the court was cautions in laying
out large sums of money ; the magistrates felt that
the money which they expended was not their own,
but was contributed by parties who were less able to
contribute it than they themselves were. It was
evident the Government had some comprehensive
scheme in contemplation, and, although he would not
then venture to pass any decidedly strong opinion
upon it, still he must say that he concurred in the
observations of Lord Denman, that the proposition for
abolishing transportation was an " appalling" one.
At present it would be most imprudent to lay out
their money in altering our Faols, still he hoped the
Noble Marquis would not relinquish the subject, but
bring it forward, if necessary, upon some future and
more convenient occasion.

After a few remarks from Mr. FLOYER, M.P., the
subject dropped, as on all former occasions, without
any definite result.

MANCHESTER, SHEFFIELD, AND LINCOLNSHIRE
RAILWAY.—MANCHESTER, MONDAY.—This morning
special meeting of the shareholders of this company was
held in the Corn Exchange of this town, for the purpose
of obtaining the sanction of the proprietors to the several
Bills now betbre Parliament for the construction of short
branches, and also for their amalgamation with the Canal
Company, &e. Thomas. Gisborne, Esq., M.P., presided.
After the advertisement calling the meeting had been
read by Mr. Stevenson, the law clerk, the chairman
stated that the whole of the hills which were that day to
be submitted to them had already undergone considera-
ble discussion, and that the directors were unanimous as
to the importance of each of the separate schemes. The
object of the meeting was, therefore, merely to legalise
the contracts and the applications to Parliament. The
whole of the Bills were then read over, and in each case
a resolution, authorising the directors to prosecute them
with vigour, was unanimously adopted; after which a
vote of thanks was passed to the chairman, and the
meeting separated.
TESTIMONIAL TO DR. TAYLOR.—The students of
the faculty of medicine in University College are about
to present to Dr. Taylor, their late esteemed Professor
of Clinical Medicine, an address and testimonial, ex
pressive of their high regard and estimation of his cha-
racter and talents. The address—a specimen of elegant
penmanship, executed by Mr. Robertson, of Coventry-
street; and the testimonial—a handsome tea service and
salver, manufactured by Messrs. Rowland and Sons,
silversmiths, of Regent-street, will be exhibited to all
friends interested in the matter, in the council-room of
the College, during the early part of the week. Dr.
Taylor was the first student of the College elevated to
one of its professorships, but held office only a short
time, his health breaking down under its onerous duties.
ROBBERIES.—On Monday the police received infor-
mation of the following robberiest—Stolen from the
house of Mrs. Somes, Grove-place' Brompton, a gold
curb chain with locket attached, a bunch of roses on it,
and the words " Forget me not;" a gold pin set with
turquoise, and ss. in silver. On the Bth, from the house
of Mr. Shepherd, Forestgate, Essex, five silver dessert
forks, a silver butter knife, a fish fork, and a silver des-
sert spoon. On the 7th, from 56, Poland-street, the
property of Mr. Wilson, a lodger, a gold ring set with
pearls, a mourning ring, a valuable gold ring set with a
blue stone resembling a baboon's head; a
gold ring set
with paste and garnets, gold snake brooch with turquoise
eyes, and a variety of wearing apparel and linen. On
the 9th, from the person of Mr. Levy, in Size-lane,
Bucklersbury, a gold lever watch and a steel purse con
taining 71. 10s. in gold.
IMPORTATION OF HERRINGS,—The ship Ina ar•
rived in the Commercial Docks from St. John's, New
Brunswick, has brought, in addition to an extensive
cargo of wood goods, the very large number of 637
boxes of herrings in a preserved state, and four firkius
of butter, the production of that British province of
North America.

CIVILISATION IN THE NINETEENTH CENTURY.—
It seems strange that in the middle of the nineteenth
century—in the capital of the civilised world—in a
country distinguished for its respect for public decency
—for high moral feeling, and, above all, for its profes-
sion of Christian principles, any necessity should exist
for an appeal on the question which we are about to dis
cuss. Yet such is the fact. Scarcely a day passes with-
out our witnessing the most revolting violations of the
sanctuaries of the dead, whilst the hundreds of burying-
places of this huge metropolis, permitted to exist in the
midst of its living population, are so many centres of
infection, laboratories of malaria, whence issue most
offensive and deadly compounds, the gaseous products of
human putrefaction, the food, if not the principles, of
malignant disease and premature death. If I establish, as
I believe I shall, these propositions, we are bound by a
double motive to use every exertion for the removal of
this dark stain—this foul blot, from our national cha-
racter. As Christians, we are called upon to crush, and
that for ever, a system that necessarily entails and im-
poses the daily execution of deeds, from the perpetration
of which barbarians would recoil with abhorreece.
As men, as members of a civilised community, it is
our duty to remove constantly increasing causes of dis -
comfort, disease, and frequently inconceivable suffering,
' existing more especially among our poorer brethren,
whose poverty, and whose avocations too frequently
compel their residence in localities where the evil is
,--th°enchairman of
most prominent—where, in a word, the burying- places,
Saturday
public and private, are most numerous and most danger
ously overcharged.—From Mr. G. A. Walker's Lecture

TwEa s FIREi
s ti I uAt
ei'd
London fire brigade, as to the origin of the fire at Guild-
hall. Mr. Wood, the superintendent of the Guildhall
watch, Stewart, the chief officer, and several other wit-
nesses were examined, and from their evidence it ap.
peered that the fire was discovered by Wood and Stewart
on going their rounds, and the latter, who had been in
the fire brigade, speedily got the hall engines into play.
The fire existed in the coal vault, under the lobby lead-
ing from the courts of law to the
hall, and under the
the brigade
_engines did not
arrive for nearly half an hour, when one only was
brought into use, as the watchmen and others, under the
direction of Stewart, had brought the hall engine to
play upon the fire through a trap-door in the lobby,
being unable to go down from the density of the smoke.
It is a matter of doubt whether the fire originated from
spontaneous combustion of the coals and faggot wood,
or from the overheating of hot air pipes, but no person
was known to have gone below after seven o'clock on the
previous morning, and great precaution is taken to pre-
vent all parsons from passing that way after the watch
is set. Had it not been for the timely discovery, im-
mense loss would in all probability have resulted, as the
wooden flooring of the lobby forms the ceiling of the
vault, and the library, courts of law, and probably the
comptroller's department would have fallen a sacrifice to
the flames, and invaluable books and documents been
destroyed. The conclusion which the committee of in-
quiry came to was not made known, but will be re
ported to the city lands committee at a special meeting.
