TO THE DTDEPENDIOTT LITEBYMEN OF THE CITY 0:
LONDON.
GENTLEMEN,—The approaching Michaelmas-
day, while it reminds me that I shall, according to rotation,
again appear before you as the Alderman next in order for the Civic
Chair, at the same time also reminds me of the great debt of grati-
tude I am under for the kind continued support and confidence you
have awarded to me for the last four years ; indeed, I may say from
the time I first came publicly under your notice as candidate for the
°Mee of Sheriff in the year 1838, when by a large majority you
elected me, opposed as I was by to o gentlemen of high standing and
great influence.
Tour support has been invaluable throughout a serious struggle
With the attacks and perplexities consequent upon my having in-
cautiously become a member of a Joint Stock Company.
The only return for such a continued mark of your favour which
could be made by me, was the fearless and faithful discharge of my
Public duties, and to that I have devoted myself, I trust, to your
satisfaction, and to the advantage of the public.
I now again beg to assure you that I am quite ready and willing to
Place myself at your entire disposal, to uphold your rights and
Privileges, and faithfully to discharge the duties which may devolve
on me.

„,•Micw me, therefore, to entreat you to attend the Common Hall on
IVEBDAY, the 29th instant, at Twelve o'clock, and again afford me
that support which has sustained me through my various conflicts,
and Which I hope will consummate your expectations.
I have the honour to remain, Gentlemen,
Your obedient and faithful servant,
THOMAS WOOD.
2, Corbet-court, Gracechurch-street, Sept. 26, 1846.

TO THE LIVERY OF LONDON.
GENTLEMEN,—In deference to the opinion
of my friends, I beg leave to acquaint you that my name will
be submitted to you at the ensuing ELECTION of LORD MAYOR, on
TVEEIDAT NEXT, the 29th instant, and to request the favour of your
attendance at Guildhall on that day, to secure my return to the
Court of Aldermen, as one of the two Senior Aldermen in rotation
for the Mayoralty.
In thus requesting your adherence in my favour to the custom
Which you have adopted for so many years, I disclaim any wish or
intention to interfere, in the slightest degree, with the claims of any
other Alderman to be by your favour elected Chief Magistrate ; and
now address you, in justice to the Ward I have the honour to re-
Present and to myself, to request at the Common Hall, and if feces-
:l7 at the Poll, that support which you have been so long accustomed
Sive to an Alderman occupying the position in which I am now
Placed.
I have the honour to be, Gentlemen, your obedient servant,
G. CARROLL.

THE POTATO DISEASE.
Pay attention, good reader, we beg, if you please,
To say a few words on potato disease.
Last year the potatoes were sadly amiss
And thousands were robbed of a needful like this.
Nor does the calamity any way cease,
But, alas ! on the contrary, seems to increase.
Ev'ry week, ev'ry day, tells a sorrowful tale,
That the crop of potatoes must certainly fail.
Never mind ! we must bear it as well as we can,
And try to adopt some remedial plan.
Though potatoes are dear on account of the rot,
Let the public remember that clothing is not.
E. MOSES and SON sell habiliments cheap,
And you'll find at their warehouse a plentiful heap.
Although the potatoes have prov'd so unsound,
No faults in the garments of MOSES are found.
And hence will the public, by purchasing these,
Be meeting, half-way, the potato disease.
Though one pocket loses by injury done,
The other's enrich'd by E. MOSES and SON ;
And had we the talent and learning of Plato,
We could'ut say more on a " rotten potato."

CI OPY of a LETTER from WILLIAM
COURTNEY, Esq.
To Mr. THOMAS PROM, 229, Strand, London.
Church Farm, Barton Stacey, near Andover Railway
Station, Hants, October 26, 1844.
Sir,—l cannot help expressing my astonishment in the effect I have
experienced in taking your Pills for the Gout. I was taken on Thurs-
day night so severely with it as to be with difficulty able to get mu
of my bed, and after I arose I had severe pains, followed on with in-
flammation of the foot increasing. I took three of your Pills, and
Within two hours I found the pain to entirely cease. I afterwards
took two Pills at a dose twice in the day, and I am, thank God, this
morning able to walk without the slightest inconvenience. I found in
previous very severe attack very great relief; I had the pains in
my knees and thighs so very severe at that time, I thought I must
have died, and that it must have gone into my stomach. At that
time I had resort to your Pills, and they relieved me—within two
hours I was quite easy. The use of these Pills ought, really, to be
known all over the world. I have a brother, a young man, that
Suffers horribly with it, and his greatest relief and preventive has
been your Pills. Make what use you please of my report.-1 ours
truly and respectfully, WILLIAM COURTNEY.
Among the many discoveries that characterise the present age, none
have contributed so much to the comfort and ease of the community,
'nor conferred such a boon upon suffering humanity, as the impor-
tant discovery of BLAIR'S GOUT AND RHEUMATIC PILLS,
the efficacy of which has been tested by the approval and recom-
mendation of many of the greatest men of our day. They are effec-
tive for gout and rheumatism, in all its various forms, including
sciatica, lumbago, pains in the head and face, frequently treated as
tooth-ache, Sec. They require neither confinement 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 ; an by his appoint-
. spent, by all respectable medicine vendors throughout the United
Stitigdona. Price 2s. 9d. per box.
Aak for BLAIR'S GOUT AND RHEUMATIC PILLS, and oh-
, rve the name and address of " Thomas Prout, 229 Strand, London,"
Impressed upon the Government Stamp affixed to each hex of tho
enulsellocUoine.
