' S ' r , —Having suffered most dreadfully for the last six years ironi repeated attacks of the gout , and receiving no benefit from the best medical advice I could obtain , I was induced , about six weeks ago , to try a box of Blair ' s Gout and Rheumatic FiTs . When I commenced taking them , which was in the afternoon , my feet and elbows were very mucbswoDen and inflamed ; I was ' sufi ' ering the most intense agony , I had thatuigbtsound and refreshing S ' C' . y , ? . Ud awoke in the morning comparatively free from pain ; and bfcfore I had finished the box , I never was better in my life . They have not only entirely removed the gout , but have also very much improved my general health . I have since recommended tbenito four individuals , who have suffered much from gout and rheumatism - , and they all speak highly of the benefit they have received from them . If jou think my case worthy of insertion amongst the many cures effected by your wonderful medicine , you are at perfect liberty to publish it . — I am , s > , yours rsspectfully , J . J . Wilson . *

WALKS' AND WANDERINGS ABOUND W - ; O 'CONNOR VILLE . . CHENIES . 'Ti 9 Sunday morning—day of rest from labour—a wise institution of the olden world , when man s temporal as well aa spiritual interest was cared for ; all nature seems hushed in repoae , the very cattle » in the fields seem to recline more luxuriously , as if conscious that it was theirs as well aa man ' s holiday , and euwed be they who would maka it a day of gloom and asceticausterity , contrary to itft original intent . ' Tis Sunday morning , I take my dog-a beautiful animal of the retriever species-given to me by my friend SamKydd , and start for a ramble . Where shall ? My dog jumps the stile opposite our
we so sate This decides the point . We will cross the lommon ( o Chenies-it is a rural walk , through eur neighbour farmer Biggs ' s ground . The night has been stormy , but the sun now shines resplendency , casting a spirit of life and joy around . It is my first walk after an illness of some weeks . Hew ray frame seems to revive under the cheering influence of a lovely day . I cast eff the langeur and depression , inseparable from illness , and look around with a mirthful smile . My dog , who has long missed my company , and his usual rambles , can scarce keep hia spirit within bounds . Now ho starts into yon field , scattering a whole flock of sheep ; anon , he is chasing the larks ; tho cows in the farm yard next attract bis attention . ' Lion ! Lion 1 leare the cowa , Come
to your master , ' and anon , he is crouching at your feet ; What is man without a companion ? Truly , was it said , even in the Garden of Eden , ' It is not good . that man should be alone . ' And adog is a companion I dearly love ; if joyful , you can give vent to your exuberance of spirits in your gambols with him ; if morose , chide him ; it will clear yeur spirits as thunder clear the atmosphere . This , may be nonaesBG , but , with Mrs Barbauld , I pity the man who cannot talk nonsense . We have crossed the fields , and arrived in Chorley Wood Bottom , a little hamlet , about three-quarters of a mile from ' ourhome . ' Here we met with the ' Loretts , ' the 'Winnatta , ' and other fine old Saxon names , which bring back the times of Robin Hood and his merry men , and
Friar Tuck and Little John—tales which formed th 9 delight of our childhood , and are still capable of affording much instruction to our adult age , We ascend a steep hill , and arc now on Chorley V 7 ood Common , without exception , one of the most beautiful in the kingdom . It comprises about 900 acres , rising in the form of a mound , and whenyou hate ascended the summit , the view is really splendid , embracing a largs extent of this , the most delightful portion of Hertfordshire . We orosa the common , its beauties opening upon us aa we gradually ascend , Rustic cottages here and there variegated with a new brick residence , abound on the outskirts of the common . In one of the latter lives the village shopkeeper and cottage lawyer , one whose annals
would be well worthy of record , but we must not trench upon his privacy ; we give him a nod as a brother radical , and pass onward by a pretty cottage , situate in a deep dell , environed round by such a beautiful and compact hedge that the wreathing smoke alone informs you that a human habitation is near . Many of these beauteous dells are to be found on the common , containing cottages with _ their pretty prdm , and making quite a feature in the scene . We have diagonally crossed the common , and in a few minutes find ourselves in the Black Horse , comfortably enjoying a glass of home-brewed and a crust , with a relish that exercise of this description can alone give . The house , landlord and landlady are quite in keeping with the common—substantial ,
nought showy—the latter a portly pair , weighing about twenty stone each . We sf art refreshed on our ramble . Lion plunges into one of the numerous ponds with which the common abounds , and such a cackling of geese is heard as would deafen the ears ot a city dandy . ; 'Lion , Lion , ' and again the dog is at our side , and the geese are once more monarchs , — nay , nature owns no monarchs , citizen rulers of their watery domain . How soft and green is the mossy grasa after the late rains , —how beautifully blooms the fittze . Linnsens , the botanist of Sweden , ay , and of the world , on seeing in England , for the first time , a field covered with its golden blossoms , exclaimed , enraptured , that it was the moat lovely sight he had ever beheld , and its varied succession of
bloom has given rise to the old saying , that , ' when furze is out of blessom , kissing is out of fashion , ' a period that lovers will pray may be far distant ; apropos , of love , we have now arrived at the church , a new erection of flints , « ith stone groins , —the flints are worked with mathematical precision , and contrasting with themortar in which they are embsdded , eive the whole a very pretty effect . It is Chorley Wood , our parish church , already associated with our dearest hopes and regrets , —its joy-bells ringing out their snerry peal , has consecrated Hymen's torch to some of our youthful allottees ; and already has the death of one of our number , Mrs Richardson , a favourite of ' oldCobbett ' s , rendered its quiet grassy churchyard no comm « n earth to via : v ? e all
accompanied her remains to this her last home , and when my Own hour comes , I would not wish a more n ' tting ' one ; abutting on the common and on the high road , it forms a boundary between the natural and artificial life , like death itself , that great boundary between the known and the unknown world . Opposite the church , on the right hand , is a pleasant mansion , its lawn sloping down to the common , and rented by Lord John Russell , who is about giving it up , Her Majesty having presented him with a mansion at Richmond , that he may be nearer to her ; royal residence of Windser , when a certain interesting annual event takes place which will render her stay there for a short period indispensable , and eventuate in blessslng us with another royal specimen of
the beauties of monarchy . A crowd in tho road new attracts our attention , they are collected round farmer White's gate , and in a cesspool have discovered a ' sheep skin , and the skins of upwards of a drzen fowls , the whole having evidently been stolen , and placed here to avoid detection . Poverty has been making fearful havoc in our neighbourhood , and fcffences ot this description are numerous . We loiter in the crowd , & nd listen to the comment . ' Poor people cannot starve . '' Mr White has been thrashing with the machine this month past , while we have lain still . ' ' We'll , they ' ve had a good blow-out for once . ' ' It \; aa wise to skin the fowls , they'll never be able to swear to them . ' This ia the state to which our rulers have brought society . Crime meets with sympathy instead of abhorrence . Crime , did I say , is it crime to obey the laws of nature ? is it crime for starving men to satisfy the pangs of hunger ? Nay , is it not rather a crime of the deepest
dye to starve quietly in aland blessed by nature with a bounteous plenty ? I know that this doctrine may be called vicious and immoral ; I know that it is opposed to the customs and usages of our false civilisation ; but I detest the iron chain that custom hath woven round the feelings of mankind . I will ever wage war with that worst of all despotisms , which chains the tongues of men , lest in their enthusiasm they might utter truths dangerous to the safety of our social and political fabric . Were I one of these outcasts , these pariahs of society , I would pour forth such burning words , as should raise the veriest coward into fell resistance . What is life or the loss of life , to the thousands who are yearly dying of hunger ? what need they but to muster spirit from their own ranks to raise as formidable a standard here , as ever the jacquerie of old did in feudal France ? This may be said to be treason and rebellion , but it is true to reason and humanity .
Upon the crimson tented plain , Beneath tho ocean wave , How many of earth's noblest sons , Have filled a rebel's grave , Wo now leave the Common , and with a greater stiffness in our gait , aa more compatible with the high road , and the serious thoughts just engendered , march rousing onward , the common and common rights being tho subject of our meditation . There has long been a talk of this beautiful common being enclosed ; if so , the usual plan is for tho land to be divided among the various farms in the parish ; according to this arrangement O'Connorville would come in for its share of the spoil . Selfishness argues it would be advantageous to have the common
enclosed . Principle asks what would become of the numerous poor families , who gain half theirlivelihood by keeping stock , collecting manure , cutting furze , fern , & e ., oft' the common , and principle , as it ever should , triumphs over selfishness . Besides , although the common is almost too far off , being a mile by the road from the nearest houses , for any stock which we at present keep , yet we find it Very beneficial , for we can cut both furze and fern—the latter making the very best manure , superior to straiv . Last year I used a considerable quantity of it . But a truce to ? meditation . It is about three miles [ from O'Connorville to Chenies . We reach the ancient almshouses at the entrance of the village . We codv the quaint old 'fashioned inscription This
Hospital was bilded Ado . ; 1603 , of the fowndacion of Anne Covntess of Warwik , Daughter of Fravnces , Erie of Bedford , who departed 1603 , and Bi Her Wil appoynted the same to be made for tho releife of tenne poore people . ' The whole village of Cheniea is the properly of the Bedford family ; it was their original residence when they were simple , ( query cunning ) country gentlemen , ere the spoil of the church had enriched them at the expense of the rights of our Catholic population . In the church , a plain ancient edifice , rest tho remains of the Bedford family , including tho two wives of the present Premier , ( athird is stillliving ) , their porseous tomba
contrasting strangely with the simplicity of the building . Lord Wriothsley Russell , brother to Lord John , is the Vioar , and generally performs the duties thereto attached ; he lives in a mansion adjoining the church , and bears a deservededly high character for affability and benevolence . The village is pretty , most of tho houses having been recently erected , and remarkable for the porches , chiefly of brick , in front of the doors , scarce a house being destitute of this convenience ; whether tho inhabitants are in any way allied to the ancient philosophers of the porch , I have not yet been able to discover . Adjoining the church is the chief attraction of the village , the ancient mansion of the Russell family , a , beautiful
Walks' And Wanderings Abound W -; O 'Con...
brick structure of the Elizabethan style ; a portion of two wings remain standing in excellent preservation ; they are completely emblazoned in ivy , and when seen by moonlight form aa charming a scene as many in the kingdom , far more vaunted for beauty . The mansion must originally have been very extensive ; tradition attributes ita destruction to that great leveller Cromwell ; there undoubtedly wag a combat m this neighbourhood . memorials of which are still to be seen . The mansion was used aa an almshouse some years back , but is now in the occu pation of a peraon named Floyd . I have not yet had an opportunity of visiting the interior which report states to be well worth inspection . Whilst viewing this interesting specimen of the architecture of our ancestors , I
could not avoid tracine a resemblance betwen it and the present state of society . Both are alike venerable from their antiquity , and though hoary and decayed within look pleasing to the eye , but the ivy that gives apparent strength and beauty to the ruin ia gradually assisting in crumbling it to decay ; so also with the | expediencymeasures of the day ; though thay give en apparent youth and freshness to tbq old worn fabric , yet their very incongruity will assist in bringing it more speedily to ultimate destruction . May the temple of liberty be erected upon ita ruins We novr bend our steps homeward , passing through the beautiful clumps of elms which form a grove in the eentre ot the village ; embowered in these elrcfaia a double-action pump , of a novel description , which
throws water from an immense depth to the surface , and constitutes the chief supply of the village . About half a mile from Chenies we quit the road and proceed home by the green lanes ; these green lanes , how many pleasant associations they call to mind—how many poets have sung of them and novelists pictured them ; but the stern eye of utility sees only land lying in waste that would supply broad to thousands of pining stomachs ; between this and O'Connorville upwards of 100 acres lay thus comparatively idle , one donkey being the sole tenant of the demesne . Lion , who has been at a loss for an adventure , pounces upon the ass , who is quietly resting his overwearied frame ; round and round him wheels the dog , jumping and barking in very glee , until
emboldened by the apathy of the beast , he seizes him by the nose . So it is with the human animal , overwearied with the heavy burdens which Social and political tyranny have forcei upon him , he has not spirit to resent the repeated insults offered him until the oppressor , emboldened by his non-resistanco , consummates his despotic design ; and so varying in thought from grave to gay , as vary the skies in our Proteaa climes , reflecting every light or sombre tint , we journey homeward ; and now , quietly seated in our arm chair , record these notes , trusting the reader will have as much pleasure in perusing them as we have in inditing them .

The French Revolution. Could Neither The...
THE FRENCH REVOLUTION . Could neither the cunning king nor his cunning minister just have looked across the channel and seen how our rulers manage these matters ? Could they not have seen that by leaving open the safety valve of popular complaint—allowing us to throw off our wrath in talk and newspaper declamation—they can go on for years , perhaps for ages , laying on us as much burden as they please . Could he not see that our government has loaded us with the debts of all Europe , crushed our commerce , swamped our colonies by monstrous monopolies , filled our towns with misery , and Ireland with beggary and death—but have taken care not to shut down the safety valve of complaint , or their fate would have been—what his is .
But the point which it concerns us to fix our eyes unon in this glorious demonstration , is the magnificent power of popular fortitude and wisdom which it has displayed to the world . A people rising in the face of 100 , 000 soldiers , of a deadly cordon of fortifications , and of a murderous police in arms in the very heart of them , and dissipating all the might of atma , theiorcooS governmental subtelty , and the splendour of royalty , like a mere morning mist . The whole has gone to pieces with a suddenness that resembles nothing but the shifting of a theatric scene . Is this then monarchy ? How wretched a thing it is . Is this then military power ? How despicable it is ! Is this then a people exercising its will ? How glorious !
If after this there be a monarch unpunished for his treason to the state , we may be sure ' that there is a people equally remiss . If there be liberty infringed there is a degraded nation I The French have destroyed the last portion of the prestige of tyranny , and we owe them a debt which we can only repay by asserting our own rights as boldly and as nobly . We have seen in this country how the coward but greedy vampire of aristocracy shrinks and trembles at the first brave word of the nation . Wo saw it at the time of the Reform Bill —we saw it but the other day at the production of the audacious "Whig budget —yet , we lie prostrate at this moment , enduring
abuse , extravagance , and extortion , which we exclaimed against half a century ago . Taxation extends itself , but not the suffrage—retrenchment is a word actually lost out of the mouths of reformers . The aristocratic phalanx of placemen sislnall the bloom of unshorn patronage , pensions , salaries , and power , and the people pay nine-tenths of the taxation and starve . Look , fellow countrymen , across the channel , and let that national pride which has often led you into bloody contests with your Gallic neighbours at least inspire you with shame at the glory which they have won from you in the contest for political liberty .
Look on that pictdre and on this . — A great people winning in two days the charter of their liberties from the hands of false rulers ; in the midst of slaughter and excitement acting out the poetry of religion ; another people , once great , grovelling in misery and debt at the feet of the feeblest government which ever plundered and disgraced these realms . A nation must be lost indeed which does not profit by the mighty lessons which have just been read to the world . —William Howitt .

Gaution to the Public . —No sooner is a medicine well established in public favour than a host of imitators spring up , who , for tho sake of profit , not only wrong the Proprietor of the Genuine Medicine , but inflict a serious injury on the unwary purchaser of their base counterfeit trash . These remarks apply to the remedy which is so well known as ' Abemothy ' s Pile ! 0 int » 6 » t . ' IMs excellent remedy for piles has been established by undoubted proofs of it ? efficacy . Purchasers may be able to detect t & ese frauds by asking particularly for ' Abernetby ' s PUe Ointment , ' ia covered pots , price 4 s . 6 d , ( which is the lowest price the proprietor is enabled to sell it , owing to the great expense of the ingredients ) , and observe the name of C .

Mrsiebioos And Tbagical Occubrescb In Es...
MrsiEBioos and Tbagical Occubrescb in Esses . —Much sensation has been created in the county o £ Essex by an occurrence of a very tragical nature , which took place at Rayleigh . Mr Thomas Roberta , a tradesman of that place , who was the nephew of the Mayor of Rochester , returned home about twelve o ' clock one night last week , after playing a rubber of whist with some friends . He appeared in excel * lent spirits , ( and having smoked a pipe with his assistant and apprentice , they all retired to bed . Mr Roberta went inta the bedroom of the two young men partly dressed , with a candle in one hand and a piatol in the other , and , in a hurmd manner , de « sired them to get up , and call in some neighbours , for there were seven or eight men in the house , who
declared they would have his money or his life . They immediately run out , and upon returning they found Mr Roberts on the stairs , with the pistol lying by hia side , and his brains blown out . A surgeon was quicklybrought in , but life was quite extinct . There was not tbe slightest appearance of anv forcible entrance into the house , but in the sitting-room a candle was burning , and eight wine-glasses , each con . taining a small quantity of gin , were standing on the table . Nothing was missed from any part of the house . A coroner ' s inquest was held to inquire into the circumstances of this very mysterious affair . — The coroner , upon the opening of the case , said that the first account he had heard of the occurrence im « pressed him with tho idea that the deceased had
destroyed himself , but since his arrival in Rayleigb , he was induced to think it might be the result of accident . —Several witnesses were examined , who detailed evidence to the effect already stated . —The coroner , having read over the depositions , observed that tha strong presumption was , that the deceased , when he spoke of robbers being in the house , must have been labouring under some extraordinary mental delusion ; for , after the moat searching investigation , nothing had been ; detected at all calculated to justify that assertion . It was difficult to assign any rational motive for such an assertion , even had the deceased contemplated suicide , there being nothing to prevent
him . The case was involved in mystery , which no further inquiry was calculated to dispel . It was probable that the wound which caused death was the result of accident ; at all events , the safest course to adopt , would be to return such a verdict as would leave the matter open to further inquiry , should fresh evidence be obtained . The jury accordingly returned a verdict , ' That the daeaaed , Thomas Roberts , came to hia death from a pistol wound ; but how or by whom inflicted there was no evidence to show . ' The coroner then granted his warrant for the interment of the body , and the preceedinga terminated .
FiiiL Accident to a Guard on the SiAstbbw Oouniiks Railway . —On Saturday morning , one of those lamentable occurrences which too frequently have their origin in apathy and indifference , or upon too great reliance upon former hair-breadth escapes , took place on the line of the Eastern Counties Railway . It appears that the down train arrived at the Bishop ' s Stortford station ( 32 miles from London , )) at about half-past eleven , a . m ., where it received some luggage , and departed . The guard ( Morgan ) , who ia the son-in-law of Mr Ray , a licensed victualler , el
Long-lane , Shoreditch , as the train was proceeding , raised himself for the purpose ef adjusting the position of some boxes , and , before he could be aware of it , the train , which was passing sapldly along , progressed underneath one of the arches , and the head of the unfortunate guard came in frightful collisioa with a portion of the inner roof , and , it is supposed , killed him instantaneously , as , on the arrival of tho train at the next station , his head was found to be dreadfully fractured and indented . The unfortunate deceased is stated to have been ] the fiaeafc BWU en < gaged upon thU lino ef railway ,
