BLAIR'S GOUT and RHEUMATIC PILLS.
The acknowledged efficacy of BLAIR'S GOUT and RHEU-
MATIC PILLS, by the continued series of testimonials which have
been sent to and published by the proprietor for nearly twenty years,
has rendered this medicine the most popular of the present age ; and
in corroboration of which the following extract of a letter, written
by John Mollard Wheeler, Esq., Collector of Customs, Jamaica, hav-
ing been handed by his brother, at Swindon, to Mr. Prout for publi-
cation, will fully confirm.
" I know you have never had occasion to take Blair's Pills, but
let me emphatically tell you, in mercyjto any friend who may suffer
from gout, rheumatic gout, lumbago, sciatica, rheumatism, or any
branch of that widely-allied family, to recommend their using them.
In this country they are of wonderful efficacy not only am I person
ally aware of their powers, but I see my friends and acquaintances
receiving unfailing benefit from their use. I would not be without
them on any account. If taken in the early stage of disease they
dissipate it altogether; if in a later, they alleviate pain and effect a
much speedier cure than by any other means within my knowledge."
Sold by Thomas Profit, 229, Strand, London • and by his appoint-
ment by all respectable Medicine Vendors throughout the United
Kingdom. Price 2s. 9d. per box.

for traffic was 6,477,327/, including 78,5831. ex-
pended on them during the past half-year. The
engines and carriages are stated to have cost 554,456/,
including 4,0821. expended on them dut log the past half-
year. The amount expended on lines in which the
company have an interest appears to be 26801131., in-
cluding 50,000/. to the South-Weatern Steam Packet
Company. Under the bead of lines suspended
1,087,9981. appears to have been expended. This sum
includes an item for interest of 241,667/, which seems
to be a very large sum for interest on suspended lines ;
and no such item appearing under the head of ~ Lines
Completed," it may be supposed that a large
portion of
it belongs to the :expenditure under that head. The
want of a proper classification of the several items of
expenditure on capital account seems extraordinary,
considering how easily officials of this company
might obtain a copy of the London and North-
Western statement, which is generally admitted to be
a model for railway accounts. Considerable time is fre-
quently occupied at meetings by questions regarding
items in the accounts, which a clear statement would
render unnecessary. The item of 554,4564 for work-
ing stock properly belongs to
the expenditure on lines
completed and open for traffic, but it is placed
among items of expenditure on lines in which
the company have an interest. There is, also,
an item of 90,2931. under the head of lines
suspended, which appears to belong to lines com-
pleted, of which 12,4431. is for law expenses applicable
to general business, 59,652/ alteration of stations, and
4,4231. for debenture bond stamps. The payments on
capital account during the past six months amount to
118,4181., from whic is deducted 10,2931. rails sold
during the half year, making the net amount expended
108,1251. The accounts give no information as to the
number of tons sold, the price per ton, or the original
cost of these rails to the company. The total share
capital, irrespective of preference stock, ;.5 stated to
be 7,434,0501., of which 6,623,888/. is entitled to
dividend; 460,1211., shares in the hands of the company;
335,640/, amount uncalled on 50/. and 401, shares; and
14,400/. on non-converted Gosport shares. The deben-
ture bonds outstanding to the 31st of December amount
to 2,013,0381., of which 870,127/ is borrowed at 5 per
cent.; 243,010/. at 4A- per cent.; 62,0001. at 4,} per cent.;
611,8001. at 34 per cent.; 42,000/. at 3;i per cent; and
184,100/. at 3 per cent. The borrowed money on the
31st of December last was 60,500/, less than on the 30th
of June, 1850.
The revenue account for the half-year ending the 31st
of December last showed that 308,436/• had been received,
and 121',226/. expended, including 9,4641. for rates and
taxes, and 8,122/. Government duty, leavine• a balance
of 181,210/., from which is deducted 46,843ef0r interest
on debentures and preference stock, leaving 134,3671.;
to this sum is added 1,869/. surplus from last dividend,
making the net sum applicable to dividend of 136,236/,
deducting 132,4771., the amount of a 2 per cent. dividend
for the half-year, would leave 3,758/ to the credit of the
next account.

Tho working expPnces appear to be 41,66 per cent.
of the gross receipts,
including 5.76 per cent. for
rates and taxes and Government duty. The calls in
arrear on the new 501. and 401. shares amount to
13,8964, and on the third shares to 151,9514.-to-

" That the Legislature of the country will listen to
this frantic cry for persecution—that it will lower its
high functions by an attempt to stigmatise and de-
grade, which would not fail to react on itself—that,
trampling on the wise and equitable enactments of
the past, it will recommence the war of intolerance
and bigotry against so many millions of her Ma-
jesty's subjects, we can scarcely permit ourselves to be-
lieve. But whether it may adopt any aggressive policy
of this kind, in compliance with the clamours of the
violent, or, yielding to the suggestions of the more
subtle enemies of religion, attempt a persecution of a
darker and more fatal character, by endeavouring to
fetter the liberties of the Church; or, under the guise
of friendship, to introduce a sacrilegious and corrupt-
ing influence where the Spirit of God alone should
preside and operate, your Eminence and all the
Catholics of England may confidently depend in either
contingency on the deep sympathy and efficient co-
operation of their Irish brethren in defending her rights
and maintaining her independence. The martyr's crown
and the chains of the confessor are the ornaments and
the trophies of the Church; but the titled bondage, the
meretricious wages which would subject her to the mani-
festoes of a Prime Minister, or the decisions of a Privy
Council, would be a calamity more formidable than the
re-enactment of the penal code.
" The spirit which struggled for centuries in the cause
of civil and religious liberty without compromising a
principle will not tamely suffer, at the present day,
the fruits of its sacrifices and its sufferings to be
wrested from it, but, should a fatal necessity require
it, will be found to join in the common contest with
a devotedness not unworthy of so sacred a cause, or of
the soul-stirring recollections and heroic examples by
which it is consecrated and endeared in the memory and
the heart of Catholic Ireland.

" But God forbid that such a necessity should ever
arise. May He rather, in His mercy, inspire our rulers
with the wiser as well as the loftier policy of respecting
the rights of conscience in all the subjects of this
realm, reserving inviolate those principles of civil and
religious liberty which our graeious Sovereign so nobly
vindicated during the late agitation, by the public decla-
ration of her determined adhesion to them; and may
they thus contribute to place the stability of the throne
and the permanency of the empire on their surest foun-
dation—the gratitude and confidence of a happy and
united people."
