• " Sir, —Twelve years ago I became afflicted with Rheumatic Gait.
I,procured the best advice possible, but without deriving benefit; and
the doctors recommended me to go to the Stamford Infirmary, where
I continued twelve weeks, and left it without obtaining any benefit,
and all hope of relief had vanished.

such an attack.
" I am much exposed to cold ; but, whenever I feel symptoms of

" I recommended the Pins to a gentleman who resides in this
neighbourhood, and lie has derived the most essential relief there-
from, and is now never without them.

The never-failing effects of BLAIR'S GOUT and RHEUMATIC
PILLS in curing every description of Gout and Rheumatism, have
secured to them a celebrity unequalled by any medicine of past or
present times. They not only give relief in a few hours, but restore
to perfect health in an inconceivably short space of time. They are
equally speedy and certain in Lumbago, Sciatica, Pains in the Head
or Face, and indeed of every athematic or Gouty affection ; in fact,
sncn has been the rapidity, perfect ease, and complete safety of this
medicine, that it has astonished all who have taken it, and there is
scarcely a city, town, or village in the kingdom, but contains many
grateful evidences of its benign influence.
Sold by Thomas Trout, 229, Strand, London ; and by his appoint-
ment by all respectable Medicine Venders throughout the United
Kingdom. Price 2s. 9d. per box.

ALARMING FIRE.

MARSEILLES, APRIL 1.--An alarming fire broke
out in this city, at about midnight, on the 30th to
31st ult. One person was burnt to death, an old lady
aged fifty. eight. Several persons were more or less
seriously injured in their endeavours to escape. The
loss of property is estimated at from 250,0001. to
300,000 f. This loss falls upon the Indemnite, Roy-
ale, and Urbaine Insurance offices.

The site of the calamity was only about 200 yards
distant from the port ; not a breath of wind was stir-
ring very fortunately, for the slightest mistral
would have conveyed the flames to the centre of the
shipping, in which case the whole port and the prin-
cipal part of the town would have perished.
'1 he origin of the fire does not appear to be pre-
cisely known. It is supposed to have arisen in a
stable, adjoining the timber yard of Messrs. Constant,
where it was first perceived.
The -Tribunal of Commerce was in the greatest
danger, and but for the energy and presence of mind
of one clerks of the Court, who ordered some of the
rafters of the building that were already kindled to
be cut away, the whole edifice must have fallen a prey
to the flames.

The house adjoining, the timber yard of Messrs.
Constant, inhabited in part by them, and by others,
among whom was the family of the proprietor of the
premises, and the unfortanately lady above referred
to, was burnt to the ground.
