BLAIR'S GOUT and RHEUMATIC PILLS. ANOTHER extraordinary Cure of Rheumatic Gont, from Lincolnshire, communicated by Mr, Noble, the Ge- neral Agent for that Connty. To Mr. Prout, 239, Strand, London. Boston, April 2fl, 1S37. SIR—AMONG the numeroni iniunces which have come to my know- LEDGE of (he beneficiul effrcii produced by THE use of Blair S iiivaloablc Gont and Rticuinatic Pillt, the following is so striking anrt so well au. thenticated, that fwith pernnnion of the parties; I send 1110 JOII for pnb. licntlon in anjr way yon may think proper. Mary Barton, of Bolingbroke, in thi* county, ageo 07, had been for 20 months afflicted in a violent degree with rhemnatic youl. Her joint* wese so swollen, and her finjen C. n'ractsd ami stiff«Q»d LO soch an extant, that sh« wss nuablc to get into or cut of bed, or even lo dress or undress herself, without assistanee; and 10 exerucliilinf w is the pais and agouy she endured, that sUep was to herself and hnsbsnH ALMOST a stranger. She DESPAIRED of relief, and nalth more of a cure, doemiog hsr casB hopeless. A benevolent ientleman, residing in the vttlage, hear in* of her atfti'Hed condition vi»|t*d her, and presented to her a box of Blair't Pills, by taking half of wbick the was greatly lelieved, and tw. boxes Completely re-toted her; se thaI from being liD afflicted helpless cripple, she is «»>» blithe END hearty, being able to perfertn all ber house- hold work in a mauntr that surpricee her nelltkbonrl. For the tretb of these statements I have permission to refer (1( by letter, post paid) to W. E.

TO LICENSED MEDICINE VENDERS AND OTHERS. Patronized by the Royal Family and the Nobility. SHARP'S ROYAL BRITISH CERATES AND LINIMENT. THESE important medical applications having ac- -IL quired great celebrity in the private practice of the Metropo- lis, the Proprietors are strongly recommended, by several eminent men in the profession, by whom their valuable properties are well known and highly esteemed, to bring them prominently before the public, 011 the distinct assurance that, in their judgment, there is not any place in the British dominions, in or out of Europe, or any foreign country in commercial intercourse with this, where they will not be prized, from the moment they are known, as standing, and almost universal, remedies for the diseases affect- ing the exterior of the human frame. The Cerate.-which is of a peculiarly delicate character to the sight and touch, and in its original stale perleeti v inodorous, and divested of all unctuous character,—is prepared in different com- binations, especially adapted to the relief of the various cntaneoos and muscular diseases and injuries which have been proved to yield to tfie influence of its extraordinary power. The united qualities of the Liniment and the Cerates, thus prepared, consti- tute, in their several degrees, rapid and efleclual remedies for Goat-in some states, Rheumatic Affections, Lumbago, Glandular Swellings, many instances of Scrofulous Sores and Swellings, Tu- mours, Relaxed Sore Throats, Swelled Face or Gums, some cases of Deafness Inflammation—in all its shapes. Boils. Ulcerated and other wounds, Sprains, Bruises, Burns, Scalds, Erysipelas, Ve- nomous Stings, Itch, Ringworm. Scaldhead, Grocers' Itch, Chil- blains, Bunions, Corns, Tender Feet, Paralysis of a local cha- racte., andTic-doutooreux. The Proprietors could, with great truth, carry the enumeration further; but they conceive thai they have stated more than enough lo draw public attention to the va- luable qualites of articles which, however highly appreciated by those members of the profession who already know them, are now for the first time, brought to general notice. As it is the full determination of the Proprietors that the entire population of the country shall have these articles within their reach, they have resolved to form a connexion with one or more persons in every I own in the kingdom, through whom supplies may be obtained. In carrying this objact into effect, it is naturallV their wish to give the preference to the established Licensed Medi- cine Venders. But, as there may be numerous places where either such do not exist, or where they may not be disposed to give due support to productions of so effective and useful a character, the Proprietors are equally fixed in their determination that they shall, in all such case-, be sold by other respectable tradesmen, who will be specially licensed for that purpose, and will have a liberal allowance. With this plain and candid avowal of their sentiments, the Proprietors declare their readiness to receive propositions from LICENSED VENDERS AND OTHERS, in every part in the kingdom, who may he disposed to keep for sale the ROYAL BRITISH CE- RATE and LINIMENT; the former of which is made up, in its va- rious modifications, in boxes of four sizes, at 13jd., 2s. 9d., Is. 6d., and lis.; the latter in bottles of three sizes, with ground- glass stoppers, at 25.9d., 4s. 6d., and lis. each; stamps in all cases included. On the receipt of these propositions, addressed (pest-paid) to the Proprietors, Sharp and Co. 153, Fleet-street, London, the Applicants-who are desired to state, rery fully, their nameis, profession* or trades, and places of residence-will receive most full and ample details, on all points, for their information. And, when the requisite arrangements are completed, the names of the persons so appointed, as Afents or Venders, will be kept con- stantly before the publie, for general information, ty Advertise- meat* is UM lacai journals. j For Children Cutting their Tteth. ]\1^VRL^HNS0N S AMERICAN SOOTHING syflu[l 1'IoIS illfulldll(" rf'tnE'dy 11ft! ° of Child. fill d«ntitiots. et.VfromCo«iiilM.Miv«r,sW»KhomiM!!o- wi'Vbe "relieved! ^"GU".1°" ''T S'u,ds,p Chiid reduced Ir >s ■. s Coolxd, »ud ih« inflammation chice lie teeth wit h UU,<'C^ efficacy l00Um, pro- f 'i'eiise; ai;<( so pleasant, that no Child w 111 refuse „> h,: ,ls ,ofu, he rtlbbe(| Wi\ „ vv^n 'J I ie ,tpe of four tnon ths the Sirup s!io«|(| be rab!.>ed on the gutn an.

A letter from Frankfort, of the 2d i inst., states that five franc pieces, bearing the effigy, and coined in the name of the Duke de Bordeaux, as Henry V. of France, have been for some time in cir- culation in that city. We were not previously aware that the guardians. of the Duke were such madmen as to advise an exile to assume the exercise of a function which-can of right only belong to a de facto Sovereign. A letter from Munich of the 7th states that considera- ble destruction has been done by a great fire in that city. Fortunately the loss is not irremediable as the property destroyed consisted in merchandize, and not partly in valuable pictures, as was first rumoured. The Frankfort papers speak of the shock of an earth- quake experienced on the 23d of January, at Odessa, and at Jassv and Cronstadt. No great damage was sustained, though at the last-named place many of the houses suffered much. At Alt-Orioron the steeple of the church is said to have been overthrown, and hardly a house to have escaped without damage. Yesterday evening the Diana arrived at Liverpool from Bahia: from which port she sailed on the 3d of January. A few days previously to her departure, the insurgents who were in possession of the lower part of the town, attacked the upper part of the town, occu- pied by the royalists. The latter made a vigorous resistance, and, after a sanguinary struggle, completely repulsed the assailants, with a loss of three hundred men. Emboldened by success, the government party had invested the forts held by the insurgen s, whom they had cut off from all communication with the in- terior. Troops had arrived from Rio, and when the Diana sailed the prevailing opinion was that the in- surgents would not be able to hold out another week.

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE AND MONEY-MARKET.— There has not yet been a general resumption of business in the mercantile markets. The iuland communication by the canals, still being interrupted by the frost, large quantities of manufactured goods as well as of raw cotton, wools, and si ks, are thus prevented from arriving at their destination by which the execution of orders for exportatiou and home consumption is prevented. As far, however, as an opinion can be formed from the aspect of the markets, there is every reason to expect, as we have noticed on former occasions, that there will shortly he a considerable improvement in all departments of trade. The course adopted by the Bank of England, in reducing the rate of interest on Discounts to four per cent., has led to much controversy as to the policy of the measure at a period when speculation, in many articles of produce as well as in Shares and Foreign Bonds, has been revived, and, in fact, carried to a very consider- able amount. The faciltv with which discounts can be ob- tained from the private bankers at two-and-a-half to three per cent., it is argued renders any reduction by the Rmk unnecessary, especially as it is admitted that the Directors do not, while money continues so very plentiful, anticipate that they will receive a great accession of business. The re- solution adopted by the Bank, on Thursday, was as follows:- Bank of England, 15lh February. At a Court of Directors, held this day Resolved, that on and after the 16th inst., the rate of interest on bills of Exchange and notes discounted at the Bank of England, will be four per cent per annum. "JOH:" KNIGHT, Secretary. The advices received from the United States to the 25th ult., are not so s atisfactory in a mercantile point of view as anticipated. The fact that the Bank of the Union had failed, had checked the demand for all descriptions of goods, and the apprehension that others would be compelled to adopt a similar course, prevented the transmission of many large orders for goods in this country. It is openly charged against some of the parties connected with the Common- wealth Bank (one of those which has stopped payment), that a regular conspiracy had existed to obtain the public deposits, 370,000 dollars having been in its possession, all which, it is stated, would be a total loss. That government would also lose, it was expected 60,000 dollars, deposited in Middlesex Bank, which had also suspended payment. The affairs of most of the other banks of the United States were in a favourable condition,and many of them were preparing to pay in specie. Those of Albany had resumed each pay- ments In New York, the banks held a sufficient amount of bullion to enable them to resume, and the Bmk of the United States had also greatly augmented its slock of the precious metals. The low rate of the exchange, And the prices realized for gold and silver, induced the opinion at New York, that there would be soon very considerable arrivals of the precious metals fro:n England. The Ameri- can merchants were providing targe quantities of goods to this country, all the packets which have recently come in having been filled with cotton, tobacco, turpentine, &c. The quantity of cotton shipped off from the United States, up to the 24th ult., exhibited a considerable deficiency, as compared with the shipments in the corresponding period of 1836. The number of bales exported up to the 24th of January last was 318,000, against 330,000 bales up to the same period of the previous year. The exchange at New York was 1091 to .100, with a great scarcity of money. British sovereigns were worth five dollars five cents. Ameri- con gold commanded a premium of 8 to 9 per cent.

Her Majesty held her first Levee for the season on Wednesday at St. James's Palace, whither she was escorted from the New Palace by a detachment of Life Guards. The Dukes of Sussex and Cambridge, and Prince George of Cambridge at ended. At two o'clock the Queen took her station in the Throne Room, attended by the Duchess of Sutherland, the Mar- chioness of Lansdowne, the Countess of Durham, and the Lords in Waiting. The Entree company were first introduced, and afterwards the general company. The Levee was attended by the Cabinet Ministers, the Great Officers of State, the Foreign Ambassadors and Ministers; and an immense number of Addresses and petitions were presented by Earl Stanhope, from agricultural labourers and others in Suffolk, praying that no person may be admitted into the Royal Councils who will not pledge himself for the total repeal of the New Poor Law for the mitigation of the sentence on the Glasgow Cotton Spinners—for her Ma- jesty's patronage to Temperance Societies—on behalf of the NegroApprentices—iu favour of National Education -several on condolence for the demise of his late Ma- jesty, and of congratulation on her Majesty's Accession to the Throne.- Her Majesty afterwards gave audience to Lords Melbourne, Hill, Palmerstou, and Durham, and to Sir John Cam Hobhouse.—In the evening the Royal dinner party included the Duke of Wellington, Earl and Countess of Surrey, Lord Melbourne, Lord and Lady Francis Egerton, and Sir F. Stovin. The banks in Glasgow have resolved to reduce their interest on deposits to 2! per cent and to discount bills at 4 per cent. The Edinburgh Banks have given a similar notice of reduction of the rate of interest, but there is no mention as to reduction of discounts on bills. The Marquis Camden has paid into the Bank of England the sum of 19,2041. 7s. Although it has been the invariable rule, in all reforms, to respect vested interests, Lord Camden voluntarily resigned his. His lordship contributed the last year, and between the year 1817 and 1837, the sum of 302,8101. 2s. 4d. The public ought to be made acquainted with this fact, in justice to the character of the noble lord. We regret to announce that John Bonham Carter, Tsq., one of the Members for the Borough of Ports- mouth (which place he had represented for above twenty-one years), died at an early hour this morning, in Spring-gardens, aged 40. The illness under which he had laboured for more than two years had been mainly induced by his exertions in the popular cause. In the course of a life of unremitting activity he had secured the respect and affection of numerous friends without ever making a personal enemy. The Ordnance Estimates for 1838-1839—exceed those of 1837-1838 by the sum of 51,20,51. The ordi- nary estimates for the present year differ from those of the last merely by the sum of 1,71)61.; the extraordi- nary estimates exceed those of last year by 90,U301. viz 28,3581. for works, barracks, &c., 1,6721. for con- tingencies, and 60,0001. for ordinance and military stores. Savings, however, to the amount of 40,411 t. are found under the heads—Unprovided, 5,145/ Superannuated, 2,8i81.; and Commissariat Supplies, 3-2,5SS1.-iviiieli deduct from the excess of expendi- ture over last year, leaves 51,2051. more to expend this year than last. The amount of credits, however, for the present year is less by 97,5031. than last year, which makes the sum to be voted for the present year 148,7081. more than last year. The whole sum to be voted for this year is 1,546,9511, and for last year 1,398,2431.. The Army Estimates have been presented by order of the House of Commons; and it appears from them that the whole increase of the army in the present year is 7,996 men, and 580 horses. The number last year was 101,031 men; the number this year is 109,027. The probable expense for the effective service this year ia stated at 4,324,3521., of which the India Com- pany pays 682,948/. The additional charge above 1837, for the effective service, is stated to be 144,996/. The J number of the non-effective service is also increased by 334, but the charge is diminished, the increased numbers being of Chelsea pensioners, &c., while the decrease is of officers, pay, and pensions. The whole of the increased charge for the effective and non- effective services for the years 1838-1839 over the years 1837-1838 is 79,716/ but the increased appro- priation is 31,683/ the increased amount to be pro- tided is 48,0331, The coronation of the Queen will not take place until August next. 11 England now pays to Holland, Belgium, and Holstein, 700,0061. annually for the single article of butter.

Admission Half-a-crown. The French Government has established at Bor- deaux a preparatory school for boys intended for the naval service, which is said to promise immense advantages. The Chronique de Paris, which passes for the weekly organ of the French Ministers, states that the English Government had applied to that of France for copies of any documents in its possession relative to the ad- ministration of Canada, and the privileges enjoyed by the Canadians, while under the government of the French. The provincial papers of France mention a cautious mode of approaching the edges of ice after a fracture has taken place and a person has fallen through, which appears to have been successfully resorted to, and saved many lives. It is for the person who comes to give assistance to lie flat upon the surface and crawl to the edge, in which position his hands are well disposed to catch the drowing person, and the weight of his body, by being distributed over a greater surface, is much di- minished. It might be well practised when the edge of the ice is otherwise unapproachable. 0 THE PROGRESS OF THE BALLOT.—The majority on Thursday night against Mr. Grote's motion is only twelve more than in 1833, and 56 less than in 1835, while the mi- nority in that interval has ascended from 106 to 200. Will the Tories venture to deny that this is indeed a triumph? It will he a consolation to all the suffering electors of the United Kingdom to think that a remedy for their grievances must now be near at hand and it will be a strong motive with all the friends of the ballot to continue the successful exertion of their energies.—Morning Chronicle. -It is justly observed on the same subject by the Globe" The division of Thinsday night, shows the progress which the question of the Ballot is making in public opinion, but it does not show the whole extent of that progress. No one voted in favoiu of Mr. Grote's motion in opposition to the wishes of his constituents. There were, however, some who voted against it, the great majority of whose supporters are well known to desire its success. The feeling out of doors is far stronger in favour of the protection which secret voting will afford, than might be imagined from what transpires within the walls of the House." SAVINGS BANKS.—Mr. Tidd Pratt, the Barrister, who ac s for S rings' Banks and Friendly Societies, has just given his opinion on a case which is of much importance to parochial authorities. A depositor in a Sa%itigi' BInk became chargeable to his parish, and after some illness died. The amount ot his deposit was clained by the next of kin, and also by the parish officers to reimburse the parish for the expense of the depositor's illness. The Learned Gen- tleman has decided that the parish ufficers may receive the sum upon taking out letters of administration; but that if they decline to do so the next of kin may take it up. They could have demanded and would have received the money without this expense, had they applied weekly during the depositor's lifetime for such sums as he became chargeable to the parish. MELANCHOLY BIGOTR y.-That pleasant actor, Mr. Buckstone, publishes the following statement in a letter to the Times:—" Residing at Brompton, and wishing to place a son in the Western Grammar School there, which, by the ninth annual report of the managing committee, is an- nounced as being in union with King's College, I applied to be admitted as a proprietor, which application was rejected as I have since ascertained, on the ground that I am an actor, and that the son of such a person in a public school would incite in the boys a desire to see plays, which would unsettle their minds. One dissent only decided the ballot against me, and I have heard that the word "dissent" may be applied to that member of the managing committee, who rejected my request, in more senses than one." MYSTERIOUS DEATH AT WATERLOO BRIDGE.—On Thursday an inquest, which lasted several hours, was held before Henry Woods, Esq., one of the Coroners for Surrey, at the Hero ot Waterloo, Waterloo-rood, to inquire relative to the death of Mr. Alexander Stewart, aged 54, a gentle- man holding an official situation in the Customs, whose body was found in such a mutilated state, near the arch of Waterloo Bridge on the Snriey side,and under such circum- stances that led to the suspicion of the deceased having been made away by some violent means. After a long in- vestigation, the following verdict was declared That the deceased was found dead, with extensive marks of vio- lence about his person, but to what they were attributable there was no evidence to the Jury."

CONSUMPION.—"The Neapolitans firmly believe in the infectious nature of Consumption, and the State Autho- rities, it would appear, are of the same persuasion; for when a person affected with this disease dies, all the fur- niture of the apartments the patient occupied is ordered to be burned. Many undeniable facts countenance the opinion that Consumption does possess an infectious power, though certainly not in the ordinary sense of the word. The breath, we know, of a consumptive person is hot, acrid, and, there- fore, irritating, causing instant coughing in the person in- haling it. Now, if this be its common nature, we cannot well altogether deny the influence of the breath of one consumptive in exciting the same disease in another, who already hasits rudiments formed within him."—Dr. Weather. head on Consumption." BREACH OF PROMISE OF M ARRIAGE.—In the Court J of Common Pleas on Tuesday, Miss Jane Watkin recovered a verdict against Mr. W. Daniels, widower, and proprietor of the Angel Inn and Posting-house at Petersborough, for breach of promise of marriage The plaintiff was engaged to the defendant as housekeeper in 1831, who had made re- peated declarations of attachment, and by whom she had a child; lie repeatedly promised to make all right" by marrying her, and on the 24th of October 1835 had taken out a license, and the marriage was appointed to take place the following day. Instead, however, of appearing at the Church, he sent a message excusing his presence on account of illness. The same state of things continued till the Spring of 1836, when he accused her of improper imtimacy with his son, and he would not marry her till she cleared herself of the imputation. Her friends interfered, and he acknow- ledged that he was satisfied, his son, who originally gave him the information in the belief of dissolving the connexion having stated that there was no truth in the accusation! He then induced her to go to London, saying he would follow and marry her, and numerous other subterfuges were had recourse to for the purpose of procrastination. The Jury marked their sense of the defendant's conduct by their verdict 4001. damages.
