On the 7th of March, 1850, his Honour Vice-Chancellor Sir Z. L
Knight Bruce granted an INJUNCTION to restrain John CollinV

BLAIR'S GOUT and RHEUMATIC PILLS.
The acknowledged efficacy of BLAIR'S GOUT and RHEU-
MATIC PILLS, by the continued series of testimonials which hare
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 Jahn Mollard Wheeler, E.g., Collector of Custom', Jamaica, hav-
ing been handed by his brother, at Swindon, to Mr. Prout for publi-
cation, will fully confine.
" I know yon have never had occasion to teke Flair's Pills, hut
let me emphatically tell you, in mercy;to 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 wonderfill efficacy : not only am I person-
ally aware of their powers, but I see my friends and aequ Intaneea
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 box.

HASTINGS—SUSSEX.
TO peremptorily SOLD, pursuant to a DE-
CRETAL ORDER of the 111011 COURt' of CHANCERY,
made in a cause. KENDALL, v. KAY, with the approbation of
liICIIALD TORE( KINDaIIit.EY, Esq., one of the Masters of the Court,
at the Swan Hotel, Hastings, on SATURDAY, the 'l3th day of April,
1550, at Twelve o'. lock, the FREF.IIOLD PROPE.RTY (a small
portion of LEASEHOLD) of the late JOSEFX HAY, Esq., deceased,
comprising the following particulars
:
The Freehold Estate called Belmont, comprises two beautiful villa
residences, and abeat nice acres of building ground. The two dwell-,
ing houses are substantially built, after Mr. Kay's own design, and
combine the elegancies of the Italian villa with the arrange-
ment meltable for the domestic comfort of an English gentleman's fa-
mily. The estate is situated on the rise of the East Cliff, at a short
distance from the main high road to Loudon, and was formerly
known by the natio of the " Minniss." The spot is admirably
adapted for building purpose*, and there is now no remaining unoc-
cupied site in the town of Hastings, or its immediate 'vicinity, that
can compare with it in natural beauties or advantages. The ground
presents picturesque sites for villas, terraces, and gardens, command-
ing beautiful dews towards the sea, and its late talented owner,
Mr. Kay, prepared a plan for laying it out for building, adapting the
arrangemen, to the natural beauties of the spot.
The estate is conveniently approached by a short real diverging
from the high London-road, and the purchasers of nearly all the lots
will have the use of another entrance to the estate from the high
road through the premises belonging to Frederick North, Esq., in
continuation et the ene made by Mr. Kay, through the Behnont
estate, from the lodge en the west side, thus provicAng for the most
select and direct modes of ingress and egress to the property. The
estate is within a few minutes' walk of the old church of All (Saints.
Also Three Freehold sabstantially-ballt and most convenient ramify
residences, being Nos. 9,7, and 11, Pelham crescent. This fay•urite
situation Is too well known to require any general description. It
comprises all the advantages of the most central part of the town,
combined with the enjoyments of quiet and retirement, and the
h uses command beautifal sea views, and are within a short distance
of the new station of the Railway. A small portion of No. 2, Pelham-
crescent, comprising a scullery, ice., is Leasehold, held for a term of
500 years.
The Belmont Estate is divided late Twelve Lots (the two resi-
dences Laming Lots I and 2), but the Estate will be put up in the
first instance in One Lot, and if not sold, then in the Twelve Lots ;
unless Lots 1 and 2 be both sold, the sale of the other Lots will not
be proceeded with.
The Houses in Pelham-crescent will be sold in Three Lots.
The respective properties may be viewed on apolication at the
Lodge, at Belmont, and at the houses in Pelham-crescent, and parti-
culars and conditions of sale (including a plan of the Behnent Estate)
may be had at the Chambers of the Master, in Southampton. build-

MANCHESTER, Arum 6.—The slight symptoms of amend-
ment apparent in the trade for the past fortnight have again
entirely subsided, considerable languor and inactivity having
prevailed in business generally throughout the present week,
with (save in a very few instances), a weakening tendency in
prices. The imports from Ireland into Liverpool and Runcorn
still continue to exhibit a narked decrease, and are this week
exceedingly scanty of all articles; and, with the exception of
2,449 quarters of malt, the arrivals coastwise are likewise tri-
vial. From abroad, however, we have to notice large supplies
of wheat, beansoind Indian corn, together with a fair quantity
of flour. At our market this morning an exceedingly lifeless
feeling was experienced, and wheat receded in value id to 2d
per 70Ib. Flour was nominally rather cheaper; but the sales
effected were of too limited a nature to enable us to alter our
quotations. Oats barely supported late rates, whilst oatmeal,
although in slow request, was not obtainable on lower terms.
WORCESTER, .Ararr. 6.—The market continues very dun,
and prices are with difficulty supported. It is stated that the
demand is decreasing. The highest price for best white wheat
to-day is 151 6d per bag • red wheat, 14s to 15s. Foreign
wheat from 4s to 55 per bushel. Good malting barley 3s to
3s 3d per bushel, with a declining demand ; distilling qualities
19s to 20s per quarter. Old English oats 3s per bushel ; Irish
2s 4d to 2s 64 per bushel. Old English beans 14s to 15s per
bag ; new 10s to 12s. White peas 3s 6d to 4s 6d per bushel ;
gray peas 3s 4d to 3s 6d. Spring vetches 45 to 4s 6d per
bushel. New rye 5s to 5s 4d.
Stourbridge market, on Friday, remained without altera-
tion. The demand was sluggish, and the business done was
inconsiderable. Barley declined Is per quarter in value. Oats
and beans in slow request, at barely last week's quotations.
Peas must be quoted lower.
At Stratford.on-Aven market the supply of grain was good,
and as millers bought sparingly, the trade cannot be quoted
firm. Best English white wheat went at 15s 6d, and red
14s 6d per bag. Darla: was in better Ingest, and for

price. Best seconds flour 2Ss per sack of 280Ib.
At Kidderminster wheat declined in value about 64 per
quarter, with a dull sale and fair supply. Barley maintained
the full quotations of last week. In beans a firmer inquiry at
last quotations. Oats and peas as before.
At Wolverhampton there was more firmness in the trade.
Good samples of English wheat were worth 6d per quarter
more money. Other grain as last quoted.
At Atherstone the supply was small, and prices were fully
maintained. In spring corn a good trade done. English

DUBLIN, APRIL s.—We continue to have a moderate
supply at our corn market. Farmers' wheat met a steady
demand at the currencies of Tuesday, and the general demand
was fully as good as on that day. There was a small inquiry
for Indian corn, without change in prices. White wheat,
20s Od to 23s 6d ; red ditto, 19s Od to 22s 04 ; barley,
9s Od to 12s Od ; oats, per barrel, 81 64:1 to lits 3d ; oatmeal,
10s Od to 1 ts Od ; second flour, per cwt. 12a to 14s 6d ; Indian
corn, per 4801 b, 26s to 291 Od.
CORI, Areal. s.—Several arrivals of foreign grain, con-
sisting principally of wheat and maize, have taken place during
the week. The receipts of home grain continue small, the
supply for the week being :—wheat, 94 brls, at 15s to 20, 6d
per brl ; barley, 444 brls, at 8s to Ils ditto ; oats, 913 brls at
76 to 105 2d ditto. Wheat and barley are unaltered in value,
but oats have given way in price to the extent of 3d per brl.
But little business has been .done in prepared Irish wheat, the
value of which we quote 18s to 19s per barrel. In foreign a
moderate sale, for the supply of immediate wants, has been
going on, at the currency of last week, which is 22s 6d per
barrel for Polish Odessa. We notice a sale or two of prepared
barley, which is unchanged in value. Oats have again given
way to the extent of 3d per barrel, and even at the reduction
it is impossible to effect sales to any extent. We experience a
slightly improved demand for flour, but without any alteration
is prices, which remain as when we last wrote. We have a
moderate busines passing in Indian corn, the value
of which is unchanged, our quotation for the article
being the same as when we last wrote, namely,
6/. 12s. ed. per ton. Indian meal is little inquired for.

Chatham, to be paid off.
The Centaur steam-frigate, Commodore Fanshawe,
C. 8., and the Heroine, 8, Commander John B. Marsh,
were at the Gallinas on the sth of February. The
Commodore was about sailing in the evening of the
same day for the Bights of Benin.
By letters from Rio to the IGth of February we
learn that the Cormorant steam-sloop, Commander
Schomberg, had taken a prize full of slaves ; the
Rifleman screw-vessel, Lieutenant Crofton, had also
made a capture laden with slaves. Our letter says :
" Mr. Southern was received on the 24th of January
at eleven P.M. The Southampton, 50, with Hear-Ade
miral Reynolds, C. 8., was at Monte° Video on the 31st
of January; the Admiral was about proceeding to
Buenos Ayres. Captain Gore, Consul-General at
Diorite Video, was also going to Buenos Ayres. Busi-
ness is almost at a standstill; 208 vessels in the harbour
and more arriving daily. Exchange 246 to 250 paper
dollars per doubloon of 675. to 685."
Commodore Martin's squadron of evolution was
refitting in the Tagus on the 3d, when left by the
Bulldog.
Vice. Admiral the Earl of Dundonald was ex-
pected at Jamaica on the 10th of Mrarch. A court-
martial was expected to be held on Commander

Extract of a letter from the coast of Africa :
" Gallinas, Feb. 5.
~ The Alert sailing this evening for Siena Leone and
Gambia on her way to England, I lose, not the chance
of letting you hear from us. We arrived here on the
28th, meeting the senior officer, Commander Dunlop, in
the Alert, with the Heroine, Wolverine, and Adelaide
in company, forming the blockading squadron off the
river. The following day the native chiefs were ex-
pected to assemble to conclude the treaties, but they
not arriving the Commodore exercised the squadron in
shifting topsails, loosing and furling sails, in all of which
manoeuvres the Alert was foremost. Afterwards several
exciting boat-races, both sailing and pulling, in the boats
of the respective ships came off. A slight fever has
occurred, on beard the Wolverine and Heroine, both of
which bad lost men ; otherwise the squadron is very
healthy. On the Ist of February Commander Dunlop
bad succeeded in getting the native chiefs to come in,
and at noon they were all (nine in number) taken on
board the flagship to sign the treaty, which they did,
agreeing to abolish the slave trade in their respective
districts, and to remain at peace with each other. They
were then shown the ship, and shells and rockets were
thrown from the Centaur's heavy guns to exhibit to
them her power. This, together with being received by
the Commodore and his officers in full state, seemed to
gratify them exceedingly. An Opening is now given
here to the encouragement of legitimate traffic,
which is the only true means of suppressing sla-
very, but with what success the future must tell. 11 they
are left in want of such articles as the slave agents
supply them with, namely, rum, tobacco, powder,
muskets, &c., they will soon return to the original
means of supply. The chief among them, Prince Manna,
appears a highly intelligent man, and seems favourably
disposed to the English. De has given up the remainder
of the slaves to the Alert. The Wolverine, 12, Com-
mander Falcon, is now senior officer for this division,
the Alert being relieved by him. After the arrival of
the Contest, 12, Commander the Hon. J. W. S. Spencer,
which is hourly expected with the January mail, the
Commodore proceeds to the Bights for the inspection of
that division, and afterwards to the South Coast."
Extract of a letter from the Cape of Good Hope,
dated the Ist of February :
" A month ago arrived a large ship, empty, prize
slaver to the Pantaloon, 10, Commander Parker, who
joined this station a short time age. By the arrival of
the prize the Commadore bad dispatches from the Dee
steam-vessel, stating that the Castor's and her own boats
had proceeded up the Angola river, on the 18th of De-
cember, with the intention of seeing if any slaver were
there. On the second day of going up they were
violently attacked from a hidden stockade, which poured
in a dreadful fire. The Castor's boats leturntd it in
gallant style, and after having kept up an incessant tire
on them for an hour and a half, and totally destroyed a
slave ship lying up the river. they returned on board the
Dee. The boats present in tha action were—Castor's
pinnace with a 12-pounder howitzer, pouring in grape
and canister and shell. She was commanded by Lieu-
tenant Campbell and Mr. Midshipman Sullivan. This
boat received two 18-pound shot in her bows, and two
dozen through her ensign. The next boat was a private
boat, which the Commodore sent up also in the Dee
with the pinnace. She was a present to the Commodore
a few years ago crow the Imaum of Muscat, whom She

is named after. She had a 6-pounder Which fired round
shot, and also behaved very well. She had a marine
very severely wounded, who is not expected to live; the
officers in her were Second-Master Albert, and Mr. Pat-
tison, midshipman. She had an 18-pound shot through
her mainsail, and one ditto through her ensign. The
next boat was the Dee's starboard paddle-box boat, with
a 24-pound carronade which fired round, grape, and
canister. She boarded the slave-ship before mentioned
under a heavy fire of musketry, which injured her very
much. Lieutenant Crowder, commander of the Dee,
was in this boat, and followed oat the action very gal-
lantly. Mr. Dyer, master's-assistant of the Dee, was
also in her. The port paddlebox boat, armed and
manned like the one just mentioned, and commanded by
Mr. Jones, second master of the Dee. Two other boats
were employed, and the whole expedition did its duty in
a most successful, gallant, and spirited manner. Fi►e
men were slightly wounded."

PLYMOUTH, APRIL s.—Her Majesty's sloop Colum-
bine, 16, Captain John C. D. Hay, came in last
evening; left Hong-Kong on the 29th of November;
arrived at Singapore en the 7th, and left on the 10th
of December ; arrived at the Cape of Good Hope the
27th of January, and -left the 4th of February ; ar-
rived at St.. Helena the 7th, and left the 20th of
Febrvary ; arrived at Ascension on the 25th, and left
the 26th of February, and touched at St. Michaels on
the 28th of March.
Her Majesty's frigate Aniazon, 26, Commander
Troubridge, and sloop Albatross, 12, Commander
Arthur Farquhar, with the Semiramis East India
merchant ship, were at Singapore on the 18th of
December.
When the Mauritius bore distant 300
miles the Columbine spoke the barque Loid John
kussell, dismasted in a cyclone the day before; her
master declined help and was left steering in the di-
rection of the Mauritius. The master of the Colum-
bine having the day before predicted the approach of
the cyclone, tacked to avoid it, and experienced only
a moderate gale ; when the shattered barque was
fallen in with the day after, his calculations were
found to be fully verified.
Before arriving at the Cape the Columbine had a
stern boat washed off in heavy weather.
There were none of her Majesty's ships at St. He-
lena. The Governor, Sir P. Ross, was in a very de-
clining state of health, and not expected to survive
more than two or three days after the deptirture 'of the
Columbine.

February 22d, lat. 13 15 N., icing. 8 53 W.,
spoke the Mary Jane schooner, of and for Sunder-
land. February 23d saw an English barque home-
ward bound.

The Tortoise receiving ship only was at Ascension.
The island is flourishing and in an improving con-
dition.

In let. 25 30 N., long. 35 19 W., spoke the ship
Liverpool, outward bound, with emigrants.
From the Cape fine weather was experienced up to
the departure of the sloop from St. Michael's on the
28th of March. On the 29th they lost a second stern
boat. On the 2d of April they lay off the Lizard, in
thick heavy weather, with the wind south-west and
west. On the 3d the wind veered to north-west, and
blew heavier than ever, but it cleared, and they made
the Lizard.
Within the last year and a half the Columbine
has been ashore five times, and during the last three
months she was on the China station she was present
at the destruction of upwards of 100 piratical junks.
A. large portion of her efficiency and usefulness is to
be ascribed to the skill and energy of Captain Hay,
who has recently been so honourably promoted. The
purser, one midshipman, and the clerk, are the only
officers now on board the Columbine who left Eng-
land in her. She sailed on Friday evening for
Chatham, where she is to be paid off.
Her Majesty's sloop Alert, 8, Commander Hugh
Dunlop, which arrived on Thursday evening from the
Coast of 'Africa, left Sierra Leone on the 13th of
February for England in consequence of the ill health
of the captain, .but as the gallant officer recovered
when at sea, she ptit back to the river Gambia, and
left again on the 10th of. March for England. She
. has taken hitt three prizes,, but has liberated from
barracoona in theGallinaa.and73alermo Islands nearly
2,000 slaves. The chief's of the Gallinas wish to
have an English official resident established there.
March 21-25 29 N., 13 25 W., spoke the 'Ameri-
can ship Zenobia, Captain Jackson, 18 days from
Philadelphia, for Rio, California, and Calcutta; she
kindly and gratuitously supplied the Alert with such
necessaries as she had on board, refusing compensa-
tion. March 28-33 0 N., 22 42 W. Earl of Ripon
from Cardiff for New Zealand.

There have been only two deaths (from fever) on
board the Alert during her absence on the station.
Sierra Leone and the coast generally is healthy.
The Alert was commissioned on the 25th of Octo-
ber, 1847. She brings invalids from the Centaur,
Wolverine, and Heroine, and several brass gunsbe

longing to the Albert, one of the vessels employed in
the expedition up the Niger. Like all the other re-
cent arrivals she has latterly experienced very rough
weather. On the 30th ult. lost a boat overboard; and
on the 4th inst., when 100 miles from land, was
obliged to lay to, injured her rudder, sprung before
mast, and experienced other damages.
Her Majesty's brigantine Griffon, 3, Lieutenant-
Commander James B. Thurburn, arrived on Friday
morning, the sth, from South America; left Rio Ja-
neiro the 31st of January, when there were in har-
bour the flag-ship Southampton, 50, Captain Nicho-
las Corey; and the steam-sloop Cormorant, 6, Corn
mander Herbert Scomberg. The sloop Tweed, 18,
Commander Lord F. J. Russell, was. at Pernambuco,
where yellow fever prevailed among the merchant
vessels, some of which had lost nearly all their crews.
The disturbances which had for some time prevailed
at Pernambuco were fast declining ; skirmishing,
which formerly was frequent near the city, occurred
very seldom now.
The steam-gun vessel Rifleman, 4, Lieutenant-
Commander Stephen, Second,Lieutenant Crofton,
had taken, on the 10th of January, the celebrated
steam-slaver Providentia. She was seen on the 9th`
in Santos harbour, where she steamed on the 10th,
steering at first directly towards the Rifleman in or-
der to deceive ber officers. The.prize had on board
stringers for two decks, and planks numbered and
marked, all evidently for slave purposes ; she was sent
to St. Helena for condemnation. Her engineers ad-
mitted having been four trips in her to the coast of
Africa bringing from 1,600 to 2,000 slaves each time.
The Providentia, it will be remembered, was off the
coast of Africa with a tender, a felucca, when they
were descried by one of her Majesty's steam frigates
(said 'to be the Gorgon), on which the Providentia
hoisted a French ensign and pendant and pretended
to chase the felucca. When the steam-frigate was
under full chase of the felucca the Providentia slack-
ened her pace and hauled clear off, leaving the com-
paratively insignificant prise to be captured.
The Griffon has taken no prizes on the station, but
ran one ashore. She spoke no ships on the passage
home, and has recently experienced very severe
weather.
The. Seagull packet, Lieutenant Commander Small,
which landed a Brazil mail on Thursday afternoon,
having left Rio Janiero on the 22d of February, re-
ports that when the Penguin arrived on the 14th of
January, she was put under quarantine having touched
at Bahia and Pernambuco, where the yellow fever
was raging. The fever was also making sad havoc
among the English, Swedish, and German seamen at
Rio. Six English died on the 18th of February,
making 60 With those dead of the nations named
within ten days. The master, his wife, and the mate
Of the Scottish schooner Warrior, were dead. The
Cormorant, Commander Scomberg, had taken the
Pauline; which was fully equipped for the slave-trade
and had 1,000 dollars on board.
