AN Additional and Important Evidence of the
Salutary Effects of BLAIR'S GOUT and RHEUMATIC
PILLS, from Mr. Samuel Dixon, of Kingscliffe, Zlorthamptonshire.
"Kingscliffe, Northamptonshire, March 14, 1846.
" To Mr. Thomas Trout, 229, Strand, London.
"Sir,--I feel it a duty which I owe to yourself and the public to
inform you of the great benefit which I have derived by taking
Blair's Gout and Rheumatic fills. During several years I was fre-
quently Mitt up by :Stacks of gout, being unable to attend to business
for months at a time. I had often been advised to try Blair's hills,
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 analoious complaints, speedy and
certain relief.

Among the many discoveries that characterise the present age,
none have co itributed 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 baen tested by the approval and recommen-
dation 01 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 continemen: nor attention of any
kind, and invariably prevent the disease attacking the stomach, brain,
or other vital part.
Sold by Thomas Prout, 229, Strand, London ; and by his appoint-
ment, by all respectable Medicine Venders throughout the United
Kingdom. Price as. 9d. per box.

HORRID MURDER IN ST. PETER'S

STREET,DERBY.Mercury
of
Wednesday. )
(From DerbytheBT E
A short time previous to our going to press last (Tuesday)
evening, a horrid and brutal murder was committed by a
person named James Cross, a gardener, living up a court In
St. Peter's street, in this town, upon his wife.
As far as we could gather the particulars of this occur,
rence—which, of course, as yet are but imperfectly known_.
it appears that Cross and his wife were in the house
alone, and on one of his daughters coming home, and not
seeing her mother about, she attempted to go up stairs to
seek her, which, however, her father prevented. Some
altercation ensued, and the daughter was induced to go in
to Mrs. Osborne's, her next dour neighbour, and request
her to go in and prevail, if possible, upon her father to
permit her to see her mother. Mrs. Osborne had no sooner
entered the house than she was savagely attacked by Cross,
who stabbed her in the neck and face, and who would at
once have succeeded in murdering her, had he not been
seised by the daughter, who pinioned his arms. The most
alarming bleeding immediately took place in the wounds of
the neck. Mrs. Osborne was conveyed into her own house,
and medical assistance was immediately obtained. Mr.
Fearn, Mr. Harwood, Mr. Wood, and Dr. Ferguson were soon
in attendance; and, at a later period of the evening, Mr.
Johnson (St. Alkinund's), Mr. Borough, Mr. Dix, and Mr.
Hoskins. The wounds were found to be of the most serious
nature, the most formidable being one in which the internal
carotid artery was pierced close to the base of the skull.
This blood-ves,el, one of the largest and most important in
the body, it was found impossible to secure in the situation
in which it was wounded; and it was accordingly determined
upon consultation, that Mr. Fearn should tie the artery lower
down in the neck, which operation was successfully and skil-
fully performed, and had the effect of immediately arresting
the hemorrhage. We very much regret, however, to state
that up to eleven o'clock last night (at the time of our going
to press with our second edition) Mrs. Osborne continued in
the most alarming and dangerous condition, with but the
faintest hope of recovery. Mr. Fearn was to remain in
attendance upon his patient during the night.
We now return to the first part of this melancholy nu-.
rative. On searching Cross's house his wife was found lying
on the bed dead, with her throat cut in a most frightful
manner, a great gash having been inflicted on the left
side, just in the situation of the large blood-vessels. Her
death must have taken place instantaneously. The room, as
may he supposed, was deluged with blood. The murderer
appears, after the bloody deed, to have gone into the kitchen,
and to have washed his hands, one of which is seriously
wounded. Ile was in the act of escapinim from the house,
when he was met by a policeman, and taken into custody.
and, we believe, did not offer the least resistance. _ _

Mrs. Osborne's deposition w•as taken by W. Eaton Mousley,
Esq., mayor, at a late hour last night.

THE IxQuit:sT.

DERBY, WEDNESDAY.—The inquest on the body of the
deceased was commenced this afternoon, and was adjourned
after the reception of some evidence (including that of the
prisoner's daughter), which went principally to prove the
attack upon Mrs. Osborne.

DEATH IN A POLICE CELL.—Wednesday informa-
tion was forwarded to Mr. Wakley, M.P., the coroner, of the
death of Thomas Harvey, under the following circum-
stances :—The deceased was au itinerant beggar, and, from
his peculiar deformity, was well known about the streets of
London. He had lost both of his legs, and used to proceed
along the streets on a piece of board, with a couple of wheels
attached to it, propelling himself with his hands. On Tues-
day night he was found by the police in a state of ;inebria-
tion, and taken to the station-house in George-street, St.
Giles', and placed in a cell with two other prisoners. At eight
o'clock the next morning (yesterday) he was visited by the
constable, to get his name, and, in half an hour afterwards
was found dead in his cell.

LIVE CATTLE TRAFFIC ON THE EASTERN COUN.•
TIES RAlLWAY.—Wednesday forenoon a deputation of Smith-
field salesmen and London butchers, headed by Mr. Deputy
Ilieks, of Newgate-market, and several of the most influ-
ential parties connected with the trade, waited upon the
traffic committee of the directors of the Eastern Counties
Railway Company, for the purpose of drawing their atten-
tion to the losses incurred by the metropolitan butchers
by the present mode of conveying live cattle on the above
line. The deputation suggested that the same protection
hould be afforded to oxen as to horses, viz., that they should
have separate compartments for each. They also recom-
mended that until the carriages were so altered, a frame-
work of wood or iron should be affixed to the flooring,
rising about one inch, to give the cattle a footing, as after
a few hours' confinement the bottom of the truck was in
such a state as to make it difficult for them to stand the
concussions in railway carriages. The deputy chairman
( Mr. D. Waddington) assured the deputation that the
directors were most anxious to remedy any evil attending
the transit of cattle on the line if it was possible to be
done. What had been stated should receive their best
attention. With a view of obviating the delay men-
tioned as to the arrival of cattle for the London market,
the company had already advertised an arrangement for
the running of cattle trains from Peterborough, March,
Whittlesea, Ely, and Brandon, on a Friday instead of Satur-
day. A satisfactory arrangement having been then made
respecting the proposed alteration of the trucks, so as to
render the cattle more secure from injuries; the deputation
withdrew.

INSTITUTION FOR THE INDUSTRIAL EDUCATION
or TIIE JEWS.—Wednesday a meeting of the committee of
the above institution was held at the office, 27, Red Lion-
square, Bloomsbury, Dr. Whyte in the chair. Mr. J. J.
Simpson, in a very expressive speech, explained the value of
the institution generally, and illustrated the objects sought
to be obtained by several very interesting cases, many of
whom were at present working on the premises, and being
taught the printing and other trades. The institution is
designed to relieve and promote industry among the Jews,
without the compulsory resignation of tissir faith, although
by the exertions of the benevolent members the doctrines of
Christianity have been so exhibited, that in many instances
the happiest results have rewarded their efforts.
hOUSE OF LORDS.—NEW STANDING ORDERS.—
The following additional standing orders, relating to railway
and ether Bills, were agreed to on the 26th ofJanuary ult.—
" I. That after any road, or canal, or railway, or deck-bill,
shall be read a first time, and before any further proceeding
thereupon, there be deposited in the office of the Clerk of the
Parliament a statement of the length and breadth of the
space which is intended or sought to be taken for the pro-
posed works, and to give up which the consent of the owners
of the land has not been obtained; together with the names
of such owners, and the height above the surface of all pro-
posed works on the ground of each such owner. 2. And,
also, in the case of railway bills, that a return shall be pre-
sented, at the same time, of the names of the owners or oc-
cupiers of any houses situated within 300 yards of the pro-
posed works, who shall, on or before the introduction of the
Bill into this Ilouse in the present session, or before the 31st
of December prior to any future session in which the Bill
shad be introduced into Parliament, have sent to the promo-
ters of the railway their dissent, or any written objections to
the railway."

Box's LAST WORK.--It must be a matter of sur-
prise to the public generally to perceive how varied are the
opinions expressed by the leading newspapers, with respect
to Mr. Dickens's last publication. It may well be imagined
that some adverse criticisms upon the works of this and other
celebrated authors may proceed from personal feelings or
educational prejudices. These, however, could account for
tut a few. The majority, as we have the best medical au-
thority for statins, may be ascribod to irritability of temper,
generally arising; from aderenged state of the liver and ether
viscera and which couid easily be remedied by the occasional
use of 'Frampton's Pill of Health, which is gentle in its
operation, and unfailing in its effect.

The following remarks upon the state of the produce mar-
kets are from the report of an experienced London firm, that
of Wilkinson and Jewesbury :—" The demand for foreign
and colonial products, during the past month, has been ex-
tensive, both as regards articles for manufacturing purposes,
and fur general consumption. In the produce market,
prices advanced considerably, up to the time when
the Bank raised the rate of discount, which caused a decline
in most articles. The measures adopted by the Bank were
, expected to be followed by otlx;re still more. stringent • but a
feeling now prevails that this will not take place. The total
quantity of sugar cleared for home consumption, for the
eleven months ending in December, shows an increase of
13,227 tuns, as compared with the previous year; the re-
cent large arrivals of the article into this country from China
will doubtless call further attention to the resources of that
empire. The accounts from the manufacturing districts are
favourable as to the demand for woollen and fancy spring
goods, but complaint is made of a want of buoyancy in the
market. It is, however, gratifying to know, that during
this season of high prices the working classes are so well
employed as they now are. The arrival of each packet from
America is looked fur as likely to bring increased orders fur
that market."
According to a German newspaper, the emigration from
Europe amounts to about 150,000 or 160.000 souls annually,
of which, about 70,000 are attributed to Great Britain, 60,000
to Germany, 10,000 to Belgium, 5,000 to France, and 5,000 to
the rest of Europe.
The Bank Restriction Act of Sir Robert Peel is evidently
to be pushed to its utmost verge, if we are to accept as a sign
the letter of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, addressed to
the country bankers, and we need hardly observe that the
tendency is still further to strengthen the power of the Bank
of England, and act upon the Money-market in a manner
to limit the paper circulation. The Bank of England, to-
gether with its other privileges, has constantly in circulation
probably a million of Bank post bills, accepted payable
seven days after date, and no one has ever dreamt of this
as an evil or as a forcing of note issues, because the sup-
ply of these bills can never exceed the demand,
and consequently they must be an accommodation to the
public. The country banks, however, are to be further
mulcted of their fair profits, it seems, unless a successful re-
sistance can be made in Parliament, and the branches of the
Bank of England with liberty to continue the granting of
seven days bills, will make a further inroad upon the business
of their competitors.
There are not any late colonial arrivals announced in the
City this morning.

CHILD-DROPPING IN THE CITY.—An inquest was
held on Wednesday evening by Mr. Payne, at the Crown
Tavern, Clifford's Inn-passage, Fleet-street, on the body of a
newly-born female child found exposed on the stairs of the
house, No. 183, Fleet-street. The house where the body was
found, as described by a witness, 4, is a perfect wilderness."
In the lower part the house is divided into three compart-
ments—one a " print shop," another " an exhibition," and a
third a glass-blowing show," the under Around part having
been formerly used as " wine shades." The door leading to
the upper part of the 10 150 is (tO left
