BLAIR'S GOUT and RHEUMATIC PILLS
The acknowledged efficacy of BLAIR'S GOUT and RHEU
MATIC rims, 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, E•q., Collector of Customs, Jamaica, hav-
ing been handed by his brother, at Swindon, to Mr. Front for publi-.
cation, will fully confirm.
" I know you have never had occasion to take Inair's Pills, but
let me emphatically tell you, in inereyito any friend who may suffer
from gout, rheumatic gout, lumbago, sciatica, rheumatism, or ally
branch of that widely-allied family, to recommend their using them.
In this country they are of wonderfhl 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."

Kingdom: Pilee 2s. ad. per box.

This work contains an accurate and complete account of the
Anatomy and Physiology of the Reproductive Organs. It un-
fertimately happens that the unhappy victim of excessive indul-
gence and vicious habits, while suffering from their invariable con-
sequence., unwisely entertains a fear of applying to a qualified physi-
cian for relief. Shame and the dread so frequently, but erro-
neously entertained that these complaints are beyond the reach of
art, alike restrict him and prevent his seeking for assistance where
alone it can be procured. Dr. LA 'IIiERT has taken the highest
medical honours. as his diplomas testify, and the great extent of his
practice for many years is a guarantee for his professional experi-
ence, which has reference almost solely to the treatment of these
diseases.

submitting to her Majesty and Prince Albert, at Bucking-
ham Palace, some beautiful specimens of his embroidered

much length in The Sun of March 25). We understand
both her Majesty and his Royal Highness were pleased to
speak of them as works of art, in terms of great admiration.
TEIE CLEARANCE SYSTEM IN IRELAND:— In

cause. • It was, "That the Right Hon. Lord Dudley
Coutts.Stuart, M.P., be re-elected President of the As.
sociation."—(CheerF.) It was quite idle for him to at-
tempt to express in language suitable tb the occasion the.
deep obligations which the Poles were under to that dis-
tinguished nobleman—(Fleer, bear.) It Ras equally
source of gratification to them that they had the honour
of numbering him amongst their own countrymen, and
seeing him at all times expressing the national sympathy
for an unfortunate nation, which it was their delight as
Englishmen always to convey to a people suffering from
misf eune or oppression. Lord Dudley Stuart had in-
variably led the way, not,, only in expressing such
feelings, but also in the pursuit of means calculated 'to
give effect to the expression of English sympathy, and
in placing him at the bead of this associatioe, which
they were most happy to do, they were not only ex-
pressing.their own gratitude to him fur his past services,
but at the same time they were expressing to him their
high sense of the abilities which had placed him in the post
of distinction which he had so well earned and so ad-
mirably filled.—(Cheers.) They must all feel, on pe-
rusing the report, sentiments of mingled gratification
and regret at the prospects of hope which the last' two
or three years had opened up to the Poles,
only to bo blighted in the end. They had, therefore,
much to regret, but at the same time the expressions
which were given by the Poles to their claims forendepen-
deuce during the war, which unhappily had upet with so
disastrous a termination, had received sympathy and ob-
tained approbation in all parts of the world.—(Hear.)
He trusted then that they were now ,labeuring under
aetemporary depression only, and he yet hoped to wit-
ness their ultimate restoration, an expectation which both
wisdom, reason, and calculation, taught them to en-
courage.—(Hear, hear.) He could not help thinking
that the period was not far distant when better pros-
pects will open up to the ill-fated nation, and therefore,
in the meantime, while they deeply regretted the darken-
ing cloud that now hung over Polish interests, they
I should take care not to be Much depressed as to prevent
their so exerting themselves still to insure the sympathy-
of the great and the good, and the ultimate triumph of
their glorious cause.—(Cheers.) He was sure their
exertions would ever be ably seconded by the assistance
of their valued friend Lord Dudley Stuart, and it was
therefore with the utmost gratification that he now
exercised the high privilege which had been entrusted to
him of moving the resolution which he, had already
mentioned.— (Cheers.)
Mr. WILLcox, M.P., rose with much pleasure to
second the motion.—(Hear, hear.) He was quite sure,
however, that any eulogium from him upon their Noble
and excellent Chairman would be as superfluous as it
would be in bad taste.—(Hear, hear.) It was not
merely that they kneW him, it was not only that they
well knew the exertions he had made in the cause of
Poland, but they were also aware that he had been the
friend of civil and religious liberty during the whole of
his life.—(Cheers.)
The CHAIRMAN said it might seem rather strange to
put this resolution himself, but it was nevertheless his
duty to do so.
The resolution was then put and carried unanimously.
The CHAIRMAN then proceeded to acknowledge the
compliment as follows :—Gentleman, since it has been
your pleasure to elect me to this office, which I am,un-
feignedly proud to fill, much prouder indeed than I should
be to fill some other office which would confer more bril-
liant distinction, it will not appear at all strange that I
should endeavour to return you my best thanks for this
renewed proof of your confidence in me.—(Hear.) I may
be allowed, in the first place, to make my acknowledg-
ment to my honourable friends Mr. Pritchard and Mr.
Willcox, who have moved and seconded the resolution in
terms so extremely flattering. I assure them that I am
much flattered at this mark of their good opinion,
although I cannot but be aware that their partiality .has
led them to speak too favourably of me.—(No, no.)
But, however that may be,; Cartaincaiy I.

association and the object which it professes to hare in
pudiate the merit .of doing ell that of
view.—(Hear, hear.) It has been observed by some of
the gentlemen in their addresses—and justly
"much
the objects of this association have been much mis-
understood and very much misrepresented to the world
both in print and otherwise, but still it cannot be dis-
puted that your objects are such as really deserve the
support of all men of reflecting minds, who are anxious
that the faith of treaties should be respected throughout
the world—who are anxious that the rights of nations
should be maintained—who are anxious that rational
liberty should flourish, and who are anxious to assist a
numberAyfi refugees brought WI their sad and solitary
condition of exiles through having endeavoured to main•
tain the right "-Of- their country.—(Cheers.) For such
an object as I have just described this association was
established—to afford to men in that unhappy condition
some solace under ,theiremisfortune, and of assisting
them to secure a subsistence.—(llear, hear.) Those
who are anxious ,that this country should be
saved from what' I cannot , but consider a
disgrace, namely,. that 'men coming here under
such circumstances, driven here by such causes as have
already been described; to seek in- this country that
shelter and support which England has been renowned
for affording to the fugitive in all ages, should be met by
a cold reception, and allowed to pine away in destitution
in the midst of so much riches, brilliance, and splendour,
will readily give their hearty support to this associa-
tion.—(Cheers.) Now these are the objects of this as-
sociation, and we pursue these objects not blindly, not
without consideration, not without examination.—
(1-I.sar, hear.) We are certainly disposed to view with
indulgence the conduct of the refugees.—(Hear, hear.)
We do not think it is part of Our duty to be extremely
severe in marking out what course of conduct ought to
be followed, or to mark with displeasure every little act
that is done amiss, but at the same time we take
care that the line we adopt should not in any degree
encourage either idleness, cr, still lees, immorality.—
(Hear, hear.) I do not think that anything we have
done has had that effect. The refugees know that it
has been the practice of this association, in distributing
the funds committed to its charge, to take great pains,
upon all occasions, to inculcate upon them the necessity
and desireableness of orderly behaviour ; and whenever
it is possible of securing for themselves the means of
subsistence by the exercise of their own exertions,—
gly glad to think that this end

I have several observations to address to you upon this
(hCashceb rese.n)
accomplished, I am eeeedi nin a
subject, which I have by no means exhausted, but I will
endeavour, before we separate, to: find an opportunity
of continuing this part of my discourse, which, with
your permission, I shall interrupt at the present mo-
ment. The reason Ido so is one which I feel proud of.
I have just bad the satisfaction of seeing enter this room
two Noble Lords, Peers of Parliament, who, I know,
have hurried up from the House of Lords, in order to
be present on this occasion.—(Cheers.) I am aware that
their time is precious, that they are obliged to return
shortly to their duties in the House of Peers, and I,
my address now, but at once to make way,
therefore, feel satisfied I shall best consult the wishes of
the meeting, and the interest of the association by not
vgientghem an opportunity of addressing you.

observing that the notice he had received of

The CHAIRMAN—It to accommodate you.
The Earl of HARROWEIY was exceedingly obliged for
that mark of attention. At the same time the resolu-
Sultan, by refusing to abandon to the

the
bad been been put into his hands was one upon
which he could speak in the most unhesitating strain.
It was this:— •
ven"glettbnecte theot the Czar the Polish refugees who had
served in Hungary, has earned the thanks of all friends
to Poland, and deserves the respect and gratitude of all
the lovers of justice and liberty in the civilized world."
(Cheers.) Now he thought it required very little to
be said to call for the unhesitating approbation of the
meeting. He was sure their own feelings had been kindled
with a sense of pride and satisfaction, that of all
princes it should have been left to the Sultan to respect
the rights of nations, and preserve good faith with the
refugee when tyranny bad driven him from his home.—

(Cheers.) It was painful to know that it was loft for an

affording a borne to the refugee, but the pain _was
counterbalanced by the knowledge that the.natUral in-
stinct of man to do good prevailed in the East.-+
(Cheers.) It was painful to find Christian princes ree
Luse that succour and concession which was found in
the capital of the Sultan, but in some 'degree it was
gratifying to find that at least two great-wilized nat.
tions in the West of Europe had no 'oo,all 'hart;

potentate in the East, so that ifhad i 4 any "St
doubted his power to carry out the instineta of his own
honest feeling, he would have found security,,in the ass
surance of our own and the French ambassador, that
his feelings were fully sympathised with by those two
nations of the West, and, in case of need, their support
would be given him in an effective ictinner,-ev
kCheers.)
Perhaps he ought not to omit that opportunity of ray-
ing a tribute of admiration and attechmetit to one gen.
tleman who had taken a leading rani's' thitittansaction.
It was a satisfaction to him to kooiv that a private
friend of his own bad assisted in 'the' •good work,
no other indeed than Sir Stratford Qtwx,ino.,
who
was the gentleman to whom he refeere4.,..-
(Cheers.)
It was indeed a satisfaction to him, as a private friend;
to be able to mention Sir Stratford Canning as one who
on all occasions had vindicates the honour of England
and the interests of humanity, as connected- with ques-
tions in the East.—(Cheers.) Ho did not beilieve there
was a man in Europe who could be so effectiVely relied
on, not only for his honesty of intention, 'but-for his sa-
gacious perception of the true interests of ehlit country.
—(Hear, hear.) He regretted that the glimmer of hope
for Polish independence raised in so many--breasts a
short time ago, should have been extinguished; still it
was satisfactory to spesk of the protection Which had
hem afforded to the Polish exiles. Though British
sympathy might have been a little deadened by ex-
haustion, he was confident that, in the hour of need, it
would be found that it was not totally extinct.--(Cheers.)
Lord BEAUMONT seconded the moeolt, remarking
that he could not help thinking that it was a matter of
congratulation both to his Noble Friend whi htid just sat
down and himself, that they should hare arrived at the
very moment when this resolution was about to be moved
because he looked upon the event to which it alluded
as the one solitary bright spot in a very dark ground—
