Sir,—lt is now three and a half years since I was sorely afflicted
with Rheumatic Gout, the suffering from which induced me to try
all the proposed remedies that extensive medical experience could
devise, without obtaining any satisfactory relief from pain. l)uring
one of 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
soon 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,
The above testimonial is a further proof ofMICHAEL the efficacyNASMYT 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 face, and all analogous complaints.

PILLS in curing every description of Gout and Rheumatism, have

store to perfect health in an inconceivably short space of time. They

THE CORN TRADE.
LIVERPOOL, SATURDAY.—The only alteration in the
duties yesterday is a rise of 6d per quarter on oats.
Some large speculative purchases have been made in
wheat and flour the last few days at about the same
prices as prevailed on Tuesday. There was an average
attendance of millers and dealers at our Corn-exchange
yesterday. Holders of wheat generally demanded
small advance on the price of Tuesday, and Id per
bushel was partially obtained on foreign and Irish new,
with a fair extent of business. A large parcel of Balti-
more wheat changed hands, but the price did not trans-
pire: it would be above 8s 4d per 70Ib, duty paid. Flour
was held at fully late prices, but had not a free sale for
either sacks or barrels. Fine oats were scarce, and
secondary sorts easier to buy. Barley, beans, and peas
fully sustained late rates. There was a fair sale for
Indian corn; white, at 34a to 355; and yellow, up to 36s
per 4801 b. To-day there is no change in prices, and the
trade quiet.

MAI;CHESTER, Nov. 4.—The trade during the week
has continued of a somewhat lifeless character, and sales
of all articles have proceeded slowly, but without mate-
rial change in prices. Of oats and oatmeal from Ireland
the arrivals at Liverpool and Runcorn are again to a
liberal extent, but moderate of other articles. From
abroad the imports comprise upwards of 30,000 barrels
of States and Canadian flour, with about 20,000 quar-
ters of Indian corn. The supplies coastwise are exceed-
ingly light. At our market this morning the transac-
tions in wheat woe at fully the quotations of this day
se'nnight. Flour moved off languidly, and, except for
the best descriptions, the previous currency was with
difficulty maintained. Oats must be noted Id per 451 b,
and oatmeal 6d per load lower.
COLCHESTER, Nov. 4.—The best samples of wheat in
our market to-day fetched from is to is 6d per quarter
more than last week, but much of the supply came to
hand in indifferent condition, and for this the prices
were not advanced. Barley was also rather dearer, but
other articles were unaltered. There has been a slight
advance this week in most other markets of the district.
At Chelmsford yesterday wheat met a ready sale at
2s 9.1 per quarter above the rates of last week; and
barley and b pans were also is per quarter dearer. At
Witham and Dunmow a like advance. At Sudbury
wheat also advanced from Is to 2s per quarter. At Bury
wh, at was 2s, and ut Woodbridge Is per quarter dearer.
At both these vlaces barley also went up from is to 2s
per quarter. Considerable progress has been made in
this part of the kingdom during the week in wheat sowing.
WORCESTER, Nov. 4.—The price of wheat remains
steady in our market, and samples of new were in rather
a better condition to day. We have another change in
the weather, which has become dry and frosty. Old
English white wheat remains from at a sovereign to
1/ 2s per hag, and red, 19s to 20s. The best samples of
new realizes 11, but the majority are saleable at from 16s
to 18.. Grinding barley 4s per bushel, and malting
4s 4d to 4s 6d. Malt, 8s 6d per bushel. English oats,
old, 4s 6d per bushel ; and new, 3s 6d. Irish, from 3s
to 3:. 9d. Old English beans 18s to 19s per bag ; and
foreign, 4s 6d to 5s per bushel. Peas for feeding, 4s 6d
to 5s 6d per bushel ; good boilers worth 6s 6d to 7s 6d.
Winter vetches in moderate demand, at 103 to 11s per
bushel ; rye, 5s to 5s 6d. There was a fair at-
tendance, and an average amount of business
was transacted. At Stourbridge market yester-
day there was a good businoss done, and
prices were fully maintained. What was freely in
demand at the full rates at the preceding market day;
and barley, oats, beans, and all other grain maintained
last quotation, and in some cases an improvement in
prices was effscted. Stratford-on-Avon market yester-
day had also an upward tendency. There was a good
supply of most kinds of grain. Old red wheat fetched
203, and white 215 per bag; new, according to quality,
ranged from 18s to 19s. Some inferior samples were
sold at 16i and 17s per bag. In barley business was•
transacted at from 32s to 345. per bag for new. Beans
were cheap, 17s being the highest price for old, new
selling at about 15., per bag. Not much business in
other grain. Hay (new), 41 per ton. Wolverhampton
market was well supplied, and a trifling improvement
may be noted in the price of wheat—say 3d to ad per
bag, with a tendency to still further improvement. Kid-
derminster market was but thinly attended, wheat sold at from 18s to 21s per bag. In barley a fair amount of
business done at 4s to 4s 6d per bushel. A good demand
for most other descriptions of grain, oats fetchin an
average 3s 6d per bushel, beans 536 d, and peas 5s to 6s gonerp
bushel. At Atherston the business done was at the rates
of the previous week, but farmers were generally ai.king
more money. Old wheat, 19s to 21s 6d per bag ; new,
18s to 19s 6d ; Barley 33s to 35s per quarter. In other
grain little doing. The farmers are complaining loudly
of the delay in their seed sowing. The weather has been
so wet for the last six weeks, that the ground was in so
soaked a condition as to prevent their getting upon it at
all to prepare for sowing. Very little. wheat has been
ile
sown in Worcestershire or ref orci sh ire as yet. To-
day, however, the weather is more promising, and a few
days dry weather will make a great change. Last night
we had a sharp frost.
DUBLIN, Nov. 4.—There was rather a firmer feeling
in our corn-market today,
especially for the better qua-
lities of all denomination
sofgrain, but we cannot quote
any actual improvement on the prices of Tuesday. In-
dian corn continues in but little2s dteom2aB. Barley,nsd. White wheat,
14s to
~
old, 24s to 29s ; red ditto,
18s 6d. New oats, 9s to lls 6d ; old ditto, 13s to 153 6d.
Oatmeal, 12s to 13s 6d ; second flour, 17s 6d to 19s per
cwt. Indian corn, 34s to 37s per 4801bs.

Tun GuNPOWDER PLOT.—Yesterday was
the
242 d anniversary of the discovery of this famous plot.
The service appointed for the occasion was read in all
the established churches. On Saturday the Commis-
sioners of Police issued orders for the apprehension of
all persons found discharging fire-arms, or letting off
tire-works. A number of men and lads assembled on
Tower-hill last night, about six o'clock, to discharge fire
works, bat they were quickly dispersed by the police.
The Lord Mayor issued a precept against letting off fire-
works in the City, either on the sth of November, or
Lord Alayer's Day, under the penalties of the 10:11
William 111., and Ist and 2d of Victoria. The annual
celebration of Guy Fawkes Day is now virtually abo-
lished. The procession of effigies is not to be permitted.
Steam-vessels are in future ordered to carry an addi-
tional quantity of powder, but it is not the intention of
the Admiralty to have the magazines of steam-vessels
enlarged for this purpose, until, in the usual course of
time, they come wilier the hands of the dockyard for
general repairs.
