T" pever-failing effects of BLAIR'S GOUT
and RHEUMATIC PILLS in curing every description of
flout and Rheumatism have secured to them a celebrity unequalled
by any medicine of past or present times. They net only give
relief in a few hours, where the patient has been driven nearly to
madness by the excruciating tortures of this disease, but restore to
perfect health in an inconceivably short space of time. They are
equally speedy and certain in rheumatism, either chronic or acute,
lumbago, sciatica pains in the head or face, and indeed for every
rheuinatic or gouty affbction ; in fact, such has been the rapidity,
perfect ease, and complete safety of this medicine, that it has este.

THE GLORY OF TRADE
Think not that we use too exaltrd a term.
In bes'owing the name on so mighty a firm;
The astonishing warehouse of MOSES and SON,
The mightiest trophies in commerce has wo 1 ;
And all who have seen what the Mart has display d,
Have pronounced it at once—" The 0 LO KY of .IRADE"
Like the Monarch of Marts does the Warehouse appear,
A giant attraction in London's vast sphere;
And crowds on the pile with extrsy smile,
And talk of its noble achievements the while.
The young and the ad alike have survcy'd,
With an impulse of wonder—" The Glory of Trade."
But how shall we tell of the Trade that is done,
At the famous depot of E. MOSES and SON?
Could we give an idea what thousands appear
To purchase the clothes which we offer them here,
Not one would dispute the assertion we've made,
When we say that our house is--" hire Glory of Trade."
Come, come to our Warehouse! We welcome you all—.
The rich and the poor, and the great and the small.
In clothing and prices E. MOSES and SON,
Unrivall'd appear, and can ne'cr be outdone.
Our wonderful warehouse is ever tlicplay'd,
As the greatest of Houses—" The Glory of Trade."

FOR BILE, INDIGESTION, AND DISORDERS OF THE
STOMACH AND LIVER.

DR. A. A. HA RVEY'S A NTIBILIOUS and
F A MI IX APERIEN r PILLS have long bean prescribed
and found eminently useful by one of the most experienced
members of the t ollege of Surgeons, who, from his extensive
practice since he has resided in Bath, and in the East Indies
while Surgeon in the Honourable East India Company's Ser-
vice, has had innumerable instances brought under his notice
of the relief afforded by these Pills. They have been found of
great service in restoring a healthy action to the Liver, and in pre-
ventim and also curing the Jaundice; and passing off Gall Stones
and other rflections of the Liver • and being prepared from the
simplest and purest drugs, may be taken with safety by the most
delicate female ; are mild in their operation, and their occasional
use will preserve the organs of the stomach in perfect health.
These Pills arc a good preparatory Aperient to Sea Bathing, and
likewise previous to and while drinking the Bath, Cheltenham, and
other Mineral Waters, or using the Warm Bath, as they prevent
Giddiness and other urpleasant sensations of the Head. They are
also an excellent Medicin for all excesses of the table.
Dr. Harvey's patient,, and the public in general, are informed that
his Pills are to be obtained genuine of Edwards, 67, St. Paul's Church.

THE ROBBERY OF FIFTEEN
HUNDRED SOVEREIGNS.

OXFORD, Arm. 15.—This morning Richard Elliott was
brought up for further examination at Oxford Castle, before
R..Marsham, Esq ,•D.C.L., and Captain Shephard. As on
fu:mer occasions, •Mr. Ballautine, a barrister, and Mr. Ro-
binson, an Old Bailey solicitor, appeared on behalf of the
prisoner.

The first witness examined was Thomas Lucas, the
City Marshal, who took .Elliot into custody. He found him
in bed at the Crown Inn, Benson, and searched his clothes
and the room. He had 19/. in gold and 18s. 2d. in silver
and copper in his pockets. He told Lucas he was going to
Box, near Bath, and upon Lucas insisting upon his going
back with him to Oxford, he said it would be awkward for
him, as he had to meet persons at Eton and Windsor next
morning. Lucas brought him in custody to Oxford.
Mr. Burgess, of the King's Arms Inn, Sandford, proved the
finding of a blue bag, with a box, with a stone and sand in,
betweenNuneham and Sandford soon after the Defiance coach
passed on "lie day of the robbery. Mr. Martin Mountjoy, groom
of the chambers to the Earl of Chesterfield, was a passenger
at the back of the coach with' Elliott, who got up at Knights-
bridge, and saw him get down and go into the inn at Ben-
son ; afterwards saw a passenger who had been sitting on the
box seat get on the side the coachman sits, while the coach-
man was down, and take a blue bag out of the boot, and
reach across with it, but from the position witness was in
could not tell whether he gave the bag to any one or dropped
it in the boot again. When the coach left Benson a few
minutes afterwards, Elliott was standing in a position be-
hind it. This was the whole of the remainder of the evi-
dence, and the Magistrates, after hearing Mr. Ballantine
for the prisoner, committed him for trial at the next assizes'
or to find bail, himself in 5001., and two sureties in 250/. each.
Mr. Ballantine complained that the bail was exorbitant, and
intimated that the prisoner would appeal to one of the judges.

DREADFUL CALAMITY IN THE
BALEARIC ISLES.
The following dispatch from the Deputy Alcalde of Ala-
nitx to the Political Chief of the Balearic Isles, gives an ac-
count of a frightful accident which occurred there on the
31st ult., by which many hundred persons were killed or
wounded:—

" Constitutional Corporation of Felanitx.—This afternoon,
at six o'clock, a dreadful catastrophe occurred in this town.
On account of the procession which takes place every
year on the evening of this day, an immense crowd of spec-
tators had assembled at the place called the Old Cemetery
(Cimenterio Viejo), opposite the door of the church of Santa
Rosa, in order to hear one of the twelve sermons that are
preached near the churchyard. During the preaching the
wall that separates the old cemetery from the Calle Mayor
fell down upon the assembly who were congregated in the
street, the whole (more than 300 according to calculation)
remained buried under the wall and the adjacent earth. In
union with the most influential persons of this town, I am
taking the necessary measures. The Alcalde Don Francisco
Bennasser and six of the members of the corporation (who
were only installed to-day) have been buried.
" The Deputy Alcalde JUAN CALDENTE.
" Felani tx, March 31." •
Further particulars of this accident are contained in the
following letter from the same place :

" Felanitx, April 1.
" My dear Friend,—This accident has been more horrible
,han we at first believed-414 persons killed, 72 wounded,
92 contused, and 27 with fractures; this is the result of this
dreadful catastrophe, over which the inhabitants of this town
are now shedding tears of blood. What we have witnessed
yesterday afternoon and during the last night seems to us a
dream. The Political Chief arrived at six o'clock. I can
give you no further particulars."
