IRLAIR'S GOUT and RHEUMATIC PILLS.
The acknowledged efficacy of BLAIR'S GOUT sad RHE.U-
MA.TIC PILLS, by the continued series of testimonials which hars,av
been sent to and published by the proprietor for nearly twenty
yee
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, E,q., Collector of Customs. Jamaica, hav-
ing been handed by his brother, at Swindon, to Mr. Prout for publi-
cation, will fully confirm.
" I knew you have never had occasion to take Blair's Pills,uffer but
let me emphatically tell you, in mercy to any friend who may s
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 Prout, 229, Strand, London ; and by his appoint-
ment by all respectable Medicine Vendors throughout the United
Kingdom. Price 2s. 9d. per bok.

VISIT OF THE LORD MAYOR AND

I - --
SHERIFFS TO SOUTHAMPTON.
SOUTHAMPTON, MONDAY EVENING.—The splendid
entertainment given some time ago by the Lord Mayor
of Lawton to the chiefs of many of the provincial muni-
cipal corporations seems to have excited on the part of
those functionaries a desire to reciprocate metropolitan
hospitalities. In a few weeks an entertainment on a
scale of great splendour will be given by the Lord
Mayor of York to the head of the London Corporation,
at which Prince Albert and many distinguished indivi-
duals will be present; and to-day the people of this town
of all classes are in a state of hieh exciteineet in con-
sequence of a visit from the Lord Mayor and Sheriffs of
the city of London, on the invitation of the afeyor 01
Southampton, who is to entertain them at a grand
banquet this evening at the town-hall. From an earl)
hour thi3 morning people have been flocking into the
town from the neighbouring districts, a large number
having also been conveyed from the metropolis by a ape
cial excursion train, and the streets have been thronged
with eager gazers at the preparations made iu all guar-
tern to celebrate the occasion. The intim bi tants generally
have certainly desermiued to second the efforts of their
chief magistrate to do honour to hie guests, and a more
complimentary display of public gratification couldscarcely
have been manifested in welcome of *a royal visitor.
Along the High-street and for some distance beyond the
Bargate, on the northern road, flags of almost every
nation and desctiption, and of every hue, among which,
however, the union jack and British ensign largely pre-
dominate, are flaunting from the windows of many of
the houses, or hang suspended by lines across the street.
The royal standard is also flying on most of the public
buildings, and the vessels in the docks and harbour are
dressed in colours. The York , Hotel, where the Lord
Mayor and Sheriffs have engaged apartments, and which
possesses an extensive frontage? is profusely and ele-
gantly decorated with evergreens, as also the house of
the mayor and several Other private-residences. A large
quantity of the same plants has. been expended in orna-
menting the outer front of the Bargate, and the two
huge leaden lions which guard either side of the en-
trance are almost hidden in a perfect forest ;of laurel.
The weather could not be more favourable, the oppres-
sive effects of a bright sunshine being counteracted by a
brisk westerly breeze. About noon the state carriages
of the Sheriffs of London, which had been brought over
by railway for the occasion, drove along the High-street
on their way to the point at which the procession was to
be formed, and the showy equipages, with the richly
, decorated appointments, and the splendid liveries of the
servants' excited loud expressions of admiration from
many of the popUlace, who are unused to such displays
of civic grandeur.
The Lord Mayor, attended by his secretary, chaplain,
sword-bearer, and officers' of' state, with the sheriffs of
London and Middlesex, arrived at the Bishopstoke
station, which is about five miles from Southampton,
soon after 1 o'clock, and were there received in. their
robes of office by the Mayor, aldermen, and town coun-
cillors of Southampton, who had proceeded from the
town in carriges to meet them. After lunching at the
hotel at Bishopstoke the Mayor and corporation es-
corted the Lord Mayor and Sheriffs of London through
Stoneham-park, the seat of Mr. John Fleming, to the
entrance of the beautiful common belonging to the town,
where a triumphal arch bad been erected. A procession
was there formed, headed by a band of music, which
was followed by the aldermen, common councilmen,
sheriff, and the various officers of the corporation of
Southampton, in carriages and on horseback. Next
in order came the mayor of Southampton in a
carriage and four, attended by his chaplain and the
town-clerk, and accompanied by the insignia of his
office. Two horsemen, bearing banners, on which
were emblazsned the arms of the city of
London, were followed by the Lord Mayor
and Sheriffs of London, in their several
state carriages and attended by the usual officers.
Then came the Lord Mayor's suite in carriages, many of
the inhabitants in carriages and on horseback, among
whom we observed Mr. Willcox, one of the Members for
the borough, and the procession was closed, or rather
continued, by various bodies or lodges of Freemasons,
Foresters, Odd Fellows, and other similar associations,
each body being headed by a band of music. It was cal-
culated that the procession extended for more than a
mile and a half.

The procession thus formed advanced from the com-
mon along the Avenue road, through the Bargate, down
the High-street to the Royal pier and docks, where it
turned, and passing along the Eastern quay proceeded
through several streets in St. Mary's parish to Whitte's
Royal York Hotel above the Bar. Tho procession
reached the hotel at five o'clock, having occupied two
hours and a half in its progress. Tho banquet takes
place at six o'clock.
The Town-hall, in which the banquet will take place,
has reckntly undergone considerable alterations and im-
provements, on the suggestion of Mr. Richard Andrews,
the present mayor, which have adapted it to the in-
creased business and demand.; of the town.

Preparations have been made fir illuminating the ex-
terior of the Bargate; and the York Hotel, with the
houses of the Mayor and of several other inhabitants,
will also be illuminated in the evening. There will also
be a display of fireworks in the Iloundwell.
Amongst the personages invited to meet the Lord
Mayi,r, and who have signified their intention to be
present, are—Lord Palmerston, the Solicitor- General,
the Lord Mayor of Dublin, M.P., Lord Dudley Cuutts
Stuart, Lord George Lennox, Hon. M. Dutton, the
Dean of Winchester, Sir Edward Butler, Sir John Barker
Mill, Mr. Willcox, M.P., Sir John Freestone, M.P.,
Mr. Hutchins, M.P., the Mayors of Northampton, New-
ark, Cambridge, Hertford, Portsmouth, Winchester,
Romsey, Lynaingtori, Christchurch, Newport, Yarmouth,
Salisbury, and Basingstoke, Mr. John Fleming, &c. The
Lord Provost of Eiiinburgh and the Lord Mayor of York
have excused themselves on the ground that her Majesty's
visit to Scotland on the 27th will render it impossible
for them to be absent from their official duties.

CHARGE OF FORGERY AGAINST

A SOLICITOR.
Yesterday Mr. H. Blackhurbt, solicitor, of Preston,
who was remanded on Wednesday last upon a charge of
having forged a codicil to the will of his lute wife, was
brought up at the Town•hall, Preston, for further exa-
mination.

deposed to having had a conversation with Mrs. Black-
burst a short time previous to her death, when she told
John Thompson,
him that she had left the interest of her landed estate to
of Hoghton-lane, near Blackburn,
her husband; 301. a year to her sister, Mrs. Webster;
and 10s. a week to Mary Thompson. She also aided
that after the payment of a few legacies, her personal
estate would go to Glasgow.
Mary Ann Kerr Miller, of Glasgow, said she bad been
introduced to Mrs. Blackhurst a few weeks previous to
her death. Mrs. Blackhurst told her that she bad in-
herited her property through her late husband, who was
a Glasgow merchant, and that she intended it to go
again to Glasgow, to enduw a school. She said she had
made a will to that effect, leaving
Mr. Blackhurst 2,0001.
Mrs. Blackhurst wished witness to call upon the Lord
Provost. of Glasgow and inform him that her (Mrs.
Blackhurst'..) will was not altered, and requesting him
to write to Mr. Noble, her solicitor in Preston, re-
specting the property in case of her death. Witness
saw Mr. Forbes, the town clerk of Glasgow, and stated
to him all that she had been requested to state by Mrs.
Blackburst. This was the whole of the evidence for the
prosecution.
Mr. Seger, barrister, addressed the Court for the de-
fence, contending that the ease was not got up for the
purpose of promoting the ends of justice, but to defeat
the codicil.

The Bench then retired, and after a consultation of
about half an hour they returned into court,
when the
Mayor stated that the magistrates had decided upon
sending the case for trial at the assizes.
Mr. Seger applied for the prisoner to be allowed to be
at large upon bail, but the Bench refused the application
and he was committed for trial at the Liverpool winter
assizes.

CAUTION TO SMOKERS.—A strange scene was wit-
nessed yesterday on the Boulevard Montparnasse. A wag-
goner was employed to convey some furniture from a cot-
tage near Paris to the Faubourg Saint Germain. On hi, way
he drank deeply at different wine shops, and to get rid of the
slumber which oppressed him he hghted his pipe. That,
however, made him rather more sleepy. On reaching the
Boulevard he was aroused by cries of " l ire! fire !" and was
dragged from his seat by the bystanders. A spark from his
pipe had set fire to the straw, and the cart and all its con-
tents were in flames. All attempts to check the progress of
the conflagration were vain, and soon
iall that remained of the
vehicle were the springs and other ronwork.—Galignani's
Messenger.
It is now stated that the York and North Midland
dividend will be 2s. 6d. per share, or nothing. If 2s. 6d. it
is said that there will b e 1,403/..urplus to carry to the next

NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

PORTSMOUTH, MONDAY.—The Furioue, a new steam-
sloop on the paddle principle, on the design of Mr.
Fineham, the master shipwright of this dockyard, was
launched to-day in the presence of at least 10,000 spec-
tators, ashore and afloat, whom the beauty of the weather
and the interest of the spectacle had drawn together.
The •ersel was named by ►Miss Kennedy Erskine, niece
of Lord Frederick Fitzelarvnce.

The following are the principal dimensions of the
vessel:— _ _

Ft. in.
Length between the perpendiculars ... 206 0
Length of keel for tonnage ... ... 181 7
Breadth, extreme 36 6
Breadth for tonnage ... 36 0
Breadth moulded ... ... 35 4
Depth in hold ... ... 23 7
Burden in ton!, 0. M. ... 1,286 86-94

Deduct ter engine-room ... ...

Actual tonnage ... ... ... 804
Ft. in.
Draught of water with 2 fore ... • 8 7
bilge-ways on ... S aft 4040. ... 9 9
On her main-deck she has 16 ports. 8 before the
paddle-shaft, and 8 abaft it, and she will carry the fol-
lowing armament, viz.:—
cwt.
Spar deck 1 10-inch 40411 ... 85
„ 1 68-pounder 4040. ... 95
„ • 4 32-pounders 42
Main-deck 8 32-pounders 56

14
Her horse power will be 400, by Penn and Son. She is
painted with a broad white streak with a black ribbon
above, and has a white ribbon round the upper part of
her gunwales; her figure-head being a very elaborately
carved and gilded half-figure of a warrior in scale ar-.
mour, the helmet surmounted with a furious flying dra-
gon—the figure has been much admired, as is the work
of Mr. Millar, the artist..

Rear-Admiral Superintendent Prescott gave a sump-
tuous dejeuner to a large and distinguished party, in ho-
nour of the launch; and Mr. Fincham also, with his ac-
customed liberality, entertained, at an elegant lunch, the
principal officers of the yard, and a numerous party of
ladies and gentleman.
The new slip from which the Furious was launched
yesterday, and on which the Marlborough, 120, will be
laid down immediately, is differently constructed from
all other slips. The other slips and docks rest on an
innumerable mass of piles, some of which are driven above
forty-six feet into the blue clay forming the under strata
of earth under the dockyard; but in this slip there are
no piles, and the granite floor stands on a thick mass of
concrete—the blue clay having been excavated, and a
depth of concrete, sixteen feet in thickness, substituted.
This appears to have formed a firm and steady founda-
tion, and the slip is as perfect as the day on which it was
finished.

Miss Erskine, in naming the vessel, drank " Success
to the Furious, and may she add more laurels to the
British navy, and long protect our gracious Sovereign,"
amidst the usual demonstrations of music and shouting.
The Master Shipwright afterwards gave an elegant de-
jeainer at his residence to the officers of the establishment
and a select party of friends.
To-clay being Prince Albert's birthday, the fleet in
commission here fired a royal salute at noon in honour of
the occasion, the ships being dressed in mast-head flags.
The Tartarus steam-vessel, Lieutenant Sir Godfrey
Webster, Bat., sailed this morning for Woolwich, to be
paid off.
Dauntless screw-frigate, Captain E. P. Halsted, has
had her complement increased from 250 to 270; but
looking to her great armament and to her even compara-
tively light masts and yards, we do not think it likely that
she could very speedily get her complement of blue
jackets. if the Admiralty were to order her the comple-
ment.of the, Thetis—namely, 340. We feel assared that
on their Lordships' visit to this ship at Portsmonth she
will be ordered to be converted into a real and efficient
man of war—in masts, yards, and armament—and that
their Lordships will avail themselves of her great caps •
city and surplus displacement to get the most out of
her in power as well as in appearance.
EXAMINATION OF MIDSHIPMEN.—A new Admiralty
regulation has ceme into force since the first of the
present month, with respect to the examination of mid-
shipmen. Those midshipmen who have completed two
years' service, and have passed the examination required
by article 23, page 24, of the Admiralty Instructions,
are to receive a certificate from he examining officer to

The great aquatic gathering under this title yester-
day was, in every respect, of a most gratifying charac-
ter, and was na)st materially calculated to promote a
friendly feeling amongst aquatic gentlemen, and to re-
store the soinewl a; languid condition of r.qur.tics. The
prop ,Sfil had emanated from thn I'ex Club, and was
moat cordi4lly re pouded to by several other metropoli-
tan gentlemen's clubs, who were all anxious to enter the
list.; tarot so marry excellent crews, or so great a number
has hardly or ever been seen upon the Thames. The
priz a weze really both elegant and valuable, consisting
of wine-cups electro-platod, and the distance contested
was from Chiswick to Putney-bridge.

FOREST AND WATKINS.
The scullers match for 351. aside between these men,
which has created considerable interest at Greenwich.
to which place both men belong, and various quarters
below bridge, was contested yesterday, the distance
being from Putney-bridge to Mortlake. A steamer had
been engaged for the occasion to accompany the race,
which was literally crowded with company, and there
were a Vast number of small boats out owing to the in-
terest excited. Watkins was freely backed at slight
odds, and a good round sum depended upon the result.
Preliminaries being settled, the men went to work. At
the first Watkins had a trifle the best of the start, but it
was only momentary, Forest drawing away from him
immediately afterwards, and getting his boat clear off
the Messrs. Searle's. Watkins rowed gallantly and well,
but Forest continued to gain, and ultimately won by
seven or eight lengths.
