CIONSOLATION to the Gouty and Rheumatic
afforded by the use of BLAIR'S GOUT and RHEUMA-
TIC PILLS. The most excruciating pains of Gout, Rheumatic
Gout, Rheumatism, and Lumbago, relieved in the short space of
two hours, and cured in a few days, by these incomparable Pills,
which are so perfectly innocent as to require neither confinement
nor attention of any sort. Indeed, they are a remedy so completely
efficient, that they need only a trial to ensure their universal re-
commendation. The following few names are selected from a nu-
merous list of persons that can be referred to, who will gladly re-
commend these Pills from their own experience .
Mr. William Hale, nearly 40 years postman at Dulwich, Surrey,
afflicted with rheumatism for 10 or 12 years, and through which he
was superannuated, completely cured by less than one box ; there
are several persons in the neighbourhood of Dulwich who have ex-
perienced similar benefits, and who can be referred to.
Mr. Charles Price (late of the Pheenix Fire Office), No. 37,
St. Martin's Lane, has been twice cured of attacks of the gout by
the taking of three or four doses only each time.
Mr. W. Robinson, No. 30, Eagle-street, Red Lion-square, in
the employ of Messrs. Day and Martin, relieved by three doses,
and cured by the taking of one box, of a violent attack of rheu-
matic gout, which had confined him to his bed for eight days.
Sold by Thomas Prout, No. 229, Strand, London, seven doors
from Temple Bar; and, by his appo:n =cot, by most medicine
vendors in town and country, price 2s. 9d. per box.
N. B. The usual full allowance to country agents, on payraent
being ordered in London.

EAST INDIA COMPANY'S MARINE.

"India Board, Nov. 12, 1834.

• - _
" PENTLENIEN,-I have the honour to acknowledge the
recei;it of your letter of the 27th of last August, -and the ac-
com n copies of the proceedings of the General Court of
Proprietors c ,"
e 13th and 20th of that month, regarding the
:=hould be given by the East India Com-
a' which.
and Officers of the maritime service,
pany to the Commanders.
the original plan of the Court
which proceedings comprehenj
in consequence of a refer-
of Directors, their plan as extendel.4
:),.an which that Court
ence from the General Court, and the
difficult question
has adopted. The Board regret that du.:
'wee' the Court
should be attended by a difference of opinion be-I'7
of Directors, who are specially entrusted with the n:angement
of the financial resources of the Company, and the nil'iort of
Proprietors. On a full consideration of all the circurnstanlNs
of the case, involving as it does the interests of a most meri-
torious class of men, the Board think it adviscable that an im-
mediate measure should be adopted.
" Taking as a basis the more comprehensive of the plans
submitted to them, namely, that of the proprietors, they are of
opinion that it is with justice to all parties susceptible of the
following modifications
.and reductions.
" The pensions to such Commanders and Officers as have
been ten years and upwards in the Company's service, reckon-
ing from the time they first entered the service to the termina-
tion of their last voyage, to be reduced one-fifth.
" The pensions to begin from the 22d of April, 1834, as to
all Officers who were not at sea in the season 1833-34, and
from the 22d of April, 1835, as to those who were at sea in
that season.
" Widows to receive one half of their husbands' pension s.
Children the usual proportions.
" No widow to be entitled to a pension who was not mar-
ried previously to the 28th of August,- 1833, nor any child
whose parents were not married previously to the same date.
" The pensions to widows to cease on their marrying again,
and not to revive on their again becoming widows.
" The acceptance of a pension under this arrangement to
bar all future claims upon the Poplar Fund. Toe gratuities to
such Officers as have not been ten years in the Company's ser-
vice to be reduced in the same proportion as the pensions.
" The compensation, whether pension..or gratuity, to be
given to such commanders and officers only as have been in
actual employ in the service within the period of five years
antecedant to the 28th of August, 1833, upon their declaring
that it was their intention to continue to follow the profession'
in the maritime service of the Company. But no pension on-
gratuity to be granted to any person unless lie has been :it
• least two voyages in the service. And no claimant to receive
compensation for a higher rank than that which he held dirr-
mg his last voyage.
" In the commutation of pensions and the computation of
tttt, g:atuities the same rules and rates to be followed as are noi,
atm:died to the Company's commercial servants. 'With these
modifieatior s and reductions the Board sanction the plan of
.the Preprievos. With respect to the third Resolution of the
1' roprietors, as the Court of Directors may wish to review the
.ases comprised in that Resolution in reference to the settle-
: :tient sanctioned in this letter, the Board do not express an
opinion on the at p subject res
veent.
" I ha the honour, Sze.
( Signed) " CHARLES GRANT."

-The threat of a dissolution which is now hanging over
the heads of the, Members has made them feel the necessity
of making preparatio7.‘ for the approaching event. Arrange-
ments, arc we understand, in progress for forming a Central
Election Committee, and sevt::•al influential gentlemen have
volunteered their services in behaYof the projected Society.
The arrangements for the general 2-vz..tropolitan meeting,
which is called for to-morrow evening aZ the London Ta-
vern, at seven o'clock, were completed to-day. Sir Francis
Knowles, as we are informed, takes the chair, and Mr. C.
Buller, M.P., moves, and Mr. Crawfurd seconds, the first
resolution. A full attendance is confidently anticipated.
Four hundred men arc coming in a body from one manu-
factory.
In answer to the appeal of the Standard for a Tory de-
monstration, our readers will perceive that an attempt was
made in the St. Pancras Vestry by some over-zealous Con-
servative to get up this so much called for demonstration,
when the poor misled gentleman found himself in the ex-
ceedingly pleasant and agreeable minority of one.
To the T;nres,_whic.ii still affects to doubt the existence
of the spirit of oppositioa to "his Highness" which is now
abroad, we. recommend an attlentive perusal of the letters
relative to itself, which we inset); in another part of cur
Journal. We have reason to know that these instances are
not rare, as we should imagine our wea4iercock contempo-
rary must by this time discover. " His Highness's" rea-
soning may, perhaps, prove more convincing with " The
Weathercock" just now ; but the reasoning of the public
will, we think, ultimately prove more conclusive. " The
Weathercock," we know, shifts about with every wind that
blows, and points in turn to every quarter of the political
horizon ; but well-grounded public opinion is true as the
needle to the pole. The malice of " The Weathercock" is
foiled by its own unsteadiness. The absurd and indecent
allusion to which it pointed to-day was only laughed at, and
its false hypotheses universally disbelieved. The public will
not submit to be tampered with.

MIDDLESEX.
A preliminary meeting was held to-clay at Anderton's
Coffee-house, for the purpose of preparing a requisition for
a County Meeting ; but it appeared that there had been
some -deficiency in the arrangements, so that the meeting
was not sufficiently known. Dr. Carpue, Mr. h. Taylor,
Mr. Wells, Colonel Clark, and others, addressed tho,meet-
ing ; after which, a motion for adjournment was made, and
agreed to. The sentiments of the meeting were unanimously
cpposed to the domination of a Tory Government.
