AN APPEAL to the
WIDOW of WILLIAM
COMM'

'UBLIC in behalf of the
110 M, Poet of Inverury.

ProvoEt Thorns Mr. John Watson
Rev. George Gilfillan Mr. James H. Ower
Rev. J. R. }'Gavin Mr. William Boyack
Dr. Arrot Mr. William Bett
Mr. James Westland Mr. James Chalmers, jun.
Mr. Patrick Watson Mr. Arthur Be,gg,jtut.
Mr. Thomas Saunders.
TREASURER—Mr. Patrick Watson.
SECRETARY—Mr. William Boyack.

The Committee appointed to raise a fund for the relief of the
Widow and Family of the late 'William Thom, the gifted but unfor-
tunate Poet of Inverury, beg leave briefly but earnestly to appeal to
the Public, more espeeiaily to the Public of Scotland, is behalf of the
trust which has been confided to them.
The name and genius of Thom are well known and universally ac-
knowledged ; many of the feeling and pathetic effusions of his souse
have been brought before the public, not only in a combined form,
but in various periodicals. His talents attracted the attention of the
ablest judges; and the Messrs. Chambers, in their Journal, have de-
voted a chapter to his autobiography, and to that favourable rutted of
praise to which they considered his merits entitled.
The life of William Thom has, indeed, combined the vicissitudes of
a humble child of the Muses, having formed a scene of trials and dis-
appointments, accompanied by an overflowing share of poverty and
distress.
Many of his earliest and best years were passed at the flawkhill
of Dundee—the remembrance of which seamed deeply impressed on
his mind ; for thither, to use his own emphatic language, he wished
to return, like a bird that flutters round her forsaken nest, to spend
his latter days in comparative peace and quiet.
Ills wishes were fulfilled, for not many months ago he did return
from his wanderings, debilitated ann impoverished, and breathed his
last on Monday, the 28th of February. Ile has left a widow and three
infant children, the youngest but Ave months old, totally unprovided
for ; and it has therefore been resolved to raise a fund, in order, if
possible, to afford them permanent assistance. A Committee has
been appointed, who have cheerfully undertaken this duty, and al-
ready they are happy to announce that their call has been responded
to in a prompt and liberal mariner. Lord Kinnaird, Lord Jeffrey,
Messrs. Douglas Jerrold and Robert Chambers, and many others,
have spontaneously sent their contributions ; and it is earnestly
hoped that the charitable and the admirers of native genius and un-
obtrusive merit will support and encourage the laudable object which
the Committee have in view.
Dundee, March 10, 1848.
Contributions will be received by any of the Members of Commit-
tee ; and at the soups of Messrs. Chalmers, Shaw, and Middleton,
Booksellers, and Mr. Mills, Perfumer, Dundee.

DEATH OF WILLIAM THOM, THE INVERURY POET.
(To the Editor of the " Dundee Courier.")
Dundee, February 29, 1848.
Sir,—The painful task has been deputed to me of announcing to
the public the death of William Thum, the Inverury poet. For
some time past he had been in delicate and declining health ; and
his diseased state-of body was doubtless aggravated by the uncer-
tainty of his circumstances, and the consequent anguish of his
honourable and sensitive mind. Yesterday, in our city, at half-
past eleven A.M., ho departed this life. Ile has left behind him
something more than a name—some true and beautiful strains.
which, as " a thing of beauty is a joy for ever," the world will not
like the inscription on the conk!, to he buried in
the willingly
nl.luft lie
ehas left behind bins, alas! something of yet ten-
derer and mere mournful interest—a widow and three children,
07 eldest of whom is only four years, and the youngest but a few
months old. These are " utterly destitute," and but for the kind-
ness of one or two private friends, might have been cast out ere
this to the charity of the streets. I make no appeal in behalf of
the poet himself; " after life's fitful fever he sleeps well." He has
found what the most troubled and tempest-tossed wanderer will at
last find, and which to him was peculiarly grateful—rest. llor will
I indulge or express any vindictive feelings as to the treatment
which Ito rec<ived while yet alive. A true poet, he met with truly
poetic usage. Ile was caressed, but not fed ; as if one could sup
on incense, or as if one public dinner could keep a man alive for
years : But I would bespeak general sympathy in behalf of his
destitute family. I would implore every lover of literature—
every one who has derived pleasure from the departed poet's
lyrics, or from the simile story of his life— to prove their pleasure
and their gratitude true by some more substantial evidence than ex-
clamations or tears. I would call especially upon those who saw
bins at our late Watt Festival, and heard almost his latest breath
given fortis in those brief, broken, but thrilling accents—accents how
far superior to the measuredv cadences of rhetoric—to testify by
generous deeds their sense of melancholy satisfaction that theirs was
the privilege of meeting with and hearing him for the last time.
No time ought to be lost. Indeed, no time has been lost. Intima•
tions to the above effect either have been, or are immediately to be,
dispatched to Douglas Jerrold, Charles Dickens, Lord Jeffrey, and
others But as Dundee has had the honour of containing his death-
bed, let us follow the start we have acciden'ally gained by instant,
active, strenuous efforts In behalf of his widow and his fatherless
bairns.

Messrs. Chalmers, Middleton, and Shaw, Booksellers, and Mr
Mills, Perfumer, have kindly undertaken to receive donations.

The smallest sums will be welcomed
I •m, Sir, yours truly,
GEORGE GILFILLAN.
The last verses of the late William Thom, written shortly before
his death :

SONG OF THE DWELLERS IN DEAN VALE.
Tune—" 3111Ier o' Dee."
While we laugh and sing, in this happy ring,
With a bright and a brotherly glee,
May we never forget that the sun hath set
On the homes of misery.
For oh I it may be that this chill night wind
Sweeps round some fireless hearth,
Freezing the heart of the homeless one,
With never a friend on earth.
Then aye, as we sing, may we closereling,
In our bright and brotherly glee ;
let !lever forget that the sun may set
On the homes of misery.

Man was not made for this world alone,
The world was lent to man ;
'Tis a debt we owe to Heaven, you know,
Then pay it as well as you can.
Now winter rides mad in his carriage of snow,
With his pelting rain and hls hail;
May it never be said that hunger and woo
Held abiding in bonny l)ean Vale,

Then aye, as we sing, may we closer cling,
In our bright and brotherly glee,
And never forget that the sun may set
On the homes of misery.

road, London.
The principles of the Ilygeian theory are contained in the follow-
ing propositions :
I. The vital principle is contained in the blood.
2. Everything in the body is derived from the blood.
3. All constitutions are radically the same.
4. All diseases arise tlT,m the impurity of the blood, or, in other
words, from acrimonious humours lodged in the body.
5. This humour, which degenerates the blood, has three sources
—the maternine, the contagious, and the personal.
6. Disease and pain have the same origin, and may therefore be
considered synonymous terms.
7. Purgation by proper vegetable purgatives is the only effectual
mode of eradicating disease.
8. Experience of upwards of twenty years has amply proved MO-
RISON'S VEGETABLE UNIVERSAL MEDICINES to be such
proper vegetable purgative.
9. From the intimate connexion subsisting between mind and
body, the health of the one must conduce to the serenity of the
other.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.
COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH, May 9.
snAunorr v. THE QUEEN.
The plaintiff in this case is the owner of some pro-
perty, which is required by the Woods and Forests for
construction of the naw park at Battersea. As he
claimed some 7,0001. or 3,000/. as a compensation, which
the Government refused to pay, the Sheriff of Surrey
was directed to call a jury, to assess the amount to which
the plaintiff was entitled. He did so, and after much
inquiry the jury returned a verdict for 7501. Subse-
quently an application was made to this Court for a rule,
calling upon the Crown to show cause why a writ for
prohibition should not issue.
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL contended that the finding
of the jury was conclusive, and that if the Court were to
accede to the application it would establish a dangerous
principle, inasmuch as in all cases where the amount of
compensation had been awarded similar applications
would be made to the Court, and uo end of litigation
and expense would be the result.
Mr. LUSH, in the absence of Mr. M. Chambers, con-
tended, on the strength of several cases, that such a pro-
cec ding was perfectly regular and proper.
Lord DENMAN said he would look at the affidavits
before they come to a decision.

BLOCKADES OF VENICE AND
THE BALTIC PORTS.
(From last night's Gazette.)
Foreign-office, May 9th, 1848.
It is hereby notified, that Viscount Palmerston, her
Majesty's Principal Secretary of State for Foreign
Affairs, has received a diipatch from her Majesty's am-
bassador at Vienna, enclosing a vote from Count Fiquel
mont, the Austrian Minister for Foreign Affairs, con-
taining the following announcement of the blockade of
Venice:—
(Translation.)
COUNT FIQUELMONT TO VISCOUNT PONSONBY, DATED

VIENNA, ♦PRIL 30, 1848.
The eity of Venice having raised the standard of revolt,
the Government of his Imperial and Royal Apostolic
Majesty has found itself compelled, with the view of
reducing it again to obedience, to place the port of
Venice under effective blockade, from the 23d of the
present month.
In expressing the hope that this measure will not be
of long duration, and that it will cause only a short in-
terruption to commercial relations, the undersigned,
Minister for Foreign 'Affairs, has the honour to request
that his Excellency Vi&count Ponsonby, ambassador
extraordinary and plenipotentiary of her Britannic
Majesty, will bring this measure to the knowledge of his
Government.

The undersigned avails himself, &c.

Foreign-office, May 9, 1848.
It is hereby notified that Viscount Palmerston, her
Majesty's Principal Secretary of State for Foreign
Affairs, has received from the Danish Minister at her
Majesty's Court a note announcing the blockade of the
German Baltic ports of Stettin, Stralsund, Rostock,
Wismar, Pillau, and Dantzic, and further announcing
that the Elbe will be blockaded on the 10th inst.
The tenor of the Danish Minister's note is as follows:
(Translation.)
My Lord,—ln execution of the instructions which I have
just received from my Government, I have the honour
to notify to you the blockade of the following ports of
the Baltic by the forces of his Danish Majesty, namely:
Stettin, Stralsund, Rostock, Wismar, from the 2d of
May ; Pillau and Datitzic from the 3d of May ; and to
request that the Government of her Britannic Majesty
will cause the usual publication of the same to be made,
in order to obviate all future complaint or reclamation
on the part of the trade.
Every neutral vessel will be informed, on its entry
into the Baltic, that those ports are effectively blockaded.
I am informed by the same dispatch that the blockade
of the mouth of the Elbe has been provisionally fixed for
the 10th of May, but that a further notification will be
forwarded to me.

In making your Excellency acquainted with the
measures adopted by my Government, I have the honour
to enclose a copy of the dispatch from my Court, which
directs me to make the communication ; and I avail
inyselfof this opportunity of renewing the assurances, &c.

(Enclosure.)
No. 29. Copenhagen, May 2. 1848.
Monsieur le Comte,—You are aware that differences
which have for some time prevailed between Denmark
and Prussia, as well as the other powers of the North
of Germany, have recently
tilities. broken out into open hos-

It is not owing to the Ring our august master that
they have not been terminated by means of conciliation;
every proposition made with that view has unfortunately
failed, in consequence of the obstinacy and precipitation
of the Cabinet of Berlin.

His Majesty, being at present attacked upon his own
territory by the German troops finds himself under the
painful necessity of employing
in his power; and he has therefore resolved, in the first
place, to cause the ports and the mouths of the rivers
belonging to the enemy to be blockaded by his naval
forces. all the means of defence

I have the honour, Monsieur le Comte, to announce
to yon, in consequence, that the effective blockade of
the following ports will take place:—
For Stettin, Stralsund, Rostock, and Wismar—from
the 2d of May.
For Pillau and Dantzic—from the 3d of May.
With regard to the mouth of the Elbe, the blockade
thereof is provisionally fixed for the 10th o€ May; but.
I reserve to myself to transmit to:you a turther notifica-
tion in this respect, as well as with regard to other ports,
the blockade of which may be determined upon.
While I request you, Monsieur le Comte, to bring
these arrangements to
the knowledge of the Govern-
ment to which you are accredited, I have to add, that
every neutral vessel will be warned, on her entry into the
Baltic, that those ports are effectively blockaded.
The royal ordinance Which, in determining the mea-
sures to be taken relative to the blockaded ports, and the
seizure of vessels belonging to the enemy, recognizes and
guarantees the rights of neutrals, is in the press, and will
be communicated to you as soon as possible. Neutral
packets, charged with the conveyance of mails, will be
allowed to pass freely, and will only be warned not to
bring in.articles contraband of war.—l have, Scc.,
