BLAIR'S GOUT AND RHEUMATIC PILLS . To Mr . Prout , 220 , Strand , London . 127 , Fleet-street , Dec . 22 , 1838 , SIR , —I have . received so much benefit from B ' air ' s Gout and Rheumatic Pills , that it would be ungrateful in me were I not to make a public avowal of their effects . I have been for tho last two years subject to attacks of the Gout , which , from their virulence , if I may judge from the expressed opinions of those who have been for many years subjected to that distressing disorder , would have incapacitated me for weeks , perhaps for months , if I had not applied the medicine denominated Blair ' s Gout and Kheumatic Pills . Jts effects upon me have been , an allaying of tho violent pain after a few hours ; and , in three or fonr days , the power of resuming my occupation with activity . I now feel in as good health as I ever did , and I thank God that such a medicine is purchaseable . I am , Sir , yours gratefully ,

THE ADDRESS OF THE NOTTINGHAM FEMALE ASSOCIATION , TO THE MEN AND WOMEN OF NOTTINGHAMSHIRE . Toil-worn Slaves , —Allow us to call your attention . to the condition of the wiTes and families of our incarcerated brethren , the victims of the base and brutal factions ; who ! at present rule the destinies of out unhappy country , confined as these men are within the prison ' s gloom , for no crime , saving that of proclaiming man ' s equality ,: It is our duty to assist those who were dependent upon thorn by every means m our power / Let us shew our enemies that every act of coercion , only binds the advocates of justice more firmly together . The spirit of freedom cannot be immured- within the walls of a dungeon :
she laughs at bolts and bars—sho scorns the gaoler ' s controul , and shrinks not from the tyrant ' s powershe cannot be destroyed—she is the gift of God to man ,, and never dies . For a time , her Oriward march may be retarded , but it is a 8 when the course a miSnty river : . is- dammed up by the rotten trunks and branches of the once stately trees that adorned its banks , and the lees and impurities of its own stream . Every hour it is stopped increases its strength * anon with a mightyforce it bursts the barrier of its confinement and scatters the rubbish far a » d wide . 1 ho martyrs of liberty never die . Hampden and Sydney still walk tho earth . The murdered Emmett and Iitzgerald still live , and are comnuned with on every mountain , and in every dell . Though lira
dungepn , the suffering champions of liberty still are tree , lhere is a cord that binds and licks them to the martyred many .. Though absent in body at our meetings , they are more emphatically present in spirit . Every one that looks oa their dungeon walls —those landmarks of oppression and arguments of tyranny-rspuras the thought of abandoning the contest , and vows fresh allegiance to the holy cause . To the middle classes arid shopkeepers we will put a few questions , —first , what hare you got by your late oppressive conduct towards the . Chartists 1 S ? coiid , are you prepared to maintain your illgotten power , by bayonets , bludgeons , and sabres ?
i hird , it you coujd ruin the labouring classes ^ would it be any better for you ? Admjtting for argument'a sake that you are now victorious--in what fltote are you ? We will tell you honestly that you arid your Government is held in contempt—your trade is decreasing—your commerce is falling aw » y—the mass of you are on the vergeof bankruptcy , or struggling with desperation to keep your capital from being } ost . A fictitious system of moiiey- ^ - » fraud—a cheat on real wealth and honest industry keeps the system together . ; That system is tottering to its fall—you are on the eve of a panic , when crash you will go altogether ; in fact , you are ruining the people , and ruining yoursolves . v
The duty .-of trie Chartists at this eventful poriod , is to be ready to taka adyantago of every . circumstance which may transpire , and wo say keep your money out of the enemy ¦ V tills , for this wiW effectu - ally'tod their brains . And to tboso of you . who are electors , we call upon you to bo determined to support no man , who will not advocate Universjil Liberty and Equality . We have boon too long gulied With purse-proud , empty-headed , importance ^ both in our Municipal and Parliamentary institutions . AboTe all things keep put of the alehouse , be soberminded , moral and virtuous , for "Virtu © alone is true nobility . " Stand by your order , and the day is not far distant , when our enemies and oppressors shall be made to acknowledge the justice of Equal Rights and Equal Laws .

Proposition to Cross the AtIiAKtic in a Balloon . —Mr . C . Green , the well known asronant , has been for some time making calculations lor the construction of a ; balloon on a new principle , for the purpose of crossing the Atlantic , from New York to England . The machine is to be of gigantic dimensions , and its enterprising projector asserts that it could as easily be effected as the journey from London to Nassau in the great balloon the summer before last , Mr . Green says , that had it not been necessary to have the balloon in Paris by a specified time , he would have proceeded on to Turkey , for which ho was in a direct line . When the machine came to the earth there was still gas enough in it , when the ballast was discharged , to have performed an unlimited voyage . Mr . Green is about to construct a balloon , for a number of gentlemen , to be used for purely scientific , purposes . - ^—Observer . : r , ¦ '

of the roonk Witness at this time was not aware of what had happened , but immediately went to Mr . Skeel , a surgeons / who attended , . and then it Was discovered that the deceased had nearly severed his head from the body > vith a razor , whichlay on the dressing-table . Life must have been extinct immediately upon the perpetration of thp rash act . The Rev . George Sheppard , of Russell-square , deposed that he had known the deceasod for forty-five rears , and . had of late been frequently in his society . His unfortunate . " friend had for the last eighteen months laboured under an unhappy delusion that he was an object of contempt to the wholb world . Upon one occasion he imagined , whilst walking no
; he Strand , that he was insulted by a Kentlemau on horsebackj who pointed his whip at him . Witness endeavoured to remove the delusion from his mind , but without effect , the deceased contending that he was an object of ignominy , and said he would leave England tor ever . Witness being firmly impressed with the idea that the deceased was of unsound in ^ tellect , consulted Dr . Gopeland , who , after visiting deceased , at once pronounced that . such was the case * Witness , on hearing of- 'themelancholy ' / death / ofhis friend , was not surprised . Mr . William Yutman . solicitor , of Great Hussell-street , Bloomsbury , who said he had known the deceased for fortjvsix years , and the Rev . Mr . Campbell v gave similar evidence . ^ Verdict—r" Temporary Derangement . "

Higgs , on the body of ; William ; Unwih Sims , Esqi .. aged forty-threeywbo terminated his existence on Friday morning by blowing his brains out :: The respectability of the deceased , and the innuonce he had acquired in the comiriercial world for ; several years past , re idered the investigation one of painful interest . The unfortunate gentleman , iri addition to holding the distinguished part of a director of the Bank of England , was also chairman of the Great Western Railway Company , and chairman of the Glenarvon Iron Company . The jury , haying been sworn , proceeded to the deceased ' s residence , to view the body .

Ireland was aever in so perfect a state of tranquillity . Although so many of her grievances km unredressed , ; yet the confide ? ice in the Queen ' g Government , the heartrbinding allegiance of tba people : tp the Queen , operate like a charm ; and never was Ireland bo ^ ^ free from crime , or so thoroughly tranquil . ; V : : : ¦ ? ; Let ii ^ , then , enable the Lord Lieutenaht to sefad w England every soldier of the regular ariny how in v But one thing is absolutel y necessary—thereinurt be an immediate ^ investigation into the conduct of the military at the two seditious and traitorous meetings . Lord Hill cannot refrain from investigating the facts j and if it : shall be proved or ad ^ xditted that there were ofBcers present at the trea ^ sohableianeuagp of the rufiian Bradshaw , at Canterbury , th » n 1 / Ord Hill will be guilty of dishonourable faithlessness to the Queen , unless these oflicers bo instantly cashiered . ; ¦; ¦ : : '" r :,- -.:- ^ - '
, So at Ashton- ^ if it be true that Colonel Thoinaa was present afcthe rabid malignity towards the Qiieen of , the miscreant Roby—especially if It be true that he ( Thomas ) was so stupidly wicked as to say that the British army is a partisan- army ^ that they ai » partisans against the Queen ! si Government , and in support of the statesmen who would so enslave th » Queen aa to deprive her of the ' power of selecting the ladies of her bedchamber--if Colonel Thoinas was wicked enough to say anything like what i » attributed to hinj by : the public papers- ^ why , in tba * case , Lord Hill would himself be a traitor to th # Crown and 1 ; he country unless he instantly dismissed ( Lionel Thomas-from a service of which ; in the caaa supppsed i he would be a disgrace , and of which in no case is he an ornament ;
The admirable conduct of the army in Irelandrthe strict performance of their- duty ; in the total absence , of MV party feeling , which not only ; th » oflicer 8 i but even the privates , bave shown oh every occasion in this country , encourages and justifies th « hope that there , are but few indeed in the entiw British army who would be guilty of tbe conduct attributed to Colonel , Thomas , and to thft other officers present at Ashtbn and at Canterbury . But it is essential , not only to the discipline of th « army but to the secarity of the Queen and of ih * liberties of the people , that . those transaction * should be-. .. narrowly scrutinized ; No officer shall dare to say ( as Colonel Thomas ia reported to have said ) that the army is a partisan ariny ^ Thi « must not be .

^ . It is , therefore , of great importance that if tha charge agains't Col . Thomas be false , his character should be vindicated ; but it is of infinitely greater importance , if the charge be true , that he should bo signally punished . ; V f he arniy , in our civil strife , should be entirely and _ purely neutral .

, . niguiH , iiuu country squires in a mass , or rather in a mob . .: 4 . This exhibition , is the act of a neat party . It is not an isolated fact . It is a fact of a family . The creed and conduct Of the Tory party is thus annburiced . Here they are injfagrantedelicto" ThsA which the press of that odious faction has been for soine time past covertly insinuating is noy publicly disclosed . Tory treason stands forth in all its atrocious deformity . V . 5 . For the conduct of that party the Duke of Wellington and Sir Robert Peel are individually responsible . Out of this position they cannot escape . 11 is the very faction of which they are the open and avowed leaders which has committed , in tha . regular course of party proceedings , the traitorous conduct I have thusfeebly , but truly , described . 6 ., The connexion , especially of Sir Robert Peel .
with this conduct cannot be denied until be has publicly disclaimed making use of the support otsnch inen . He cannot j by any dexterity of hypotftisyi avoid , the opprobrium attached to their conduct , without ddiiigithat which be certainly will not dp , viz , giving up the benefit of the assistance © f this traitorous crew in enabling him to regaiin power . In short , he annot liaye tite advantage » f Tory aid without being Stained : J » nd tarnished with Tory delinquency . ¦* .... lor my part , ! have n '» hesitation in saying that the conduct of the misguided Chartists is not mote criminal ( and it is less disgraceful ) than that of the Tory traitors- There was- an open manliness in the guilt and crimei of the rebellious ^ GhartBts . They abided tho brunt of battle » such as it waa > and were not , at all efveuts , culpable of deceit , and trick , arid mean dexterity * Can so much be said ol tho Tory traitors ? ' ,
, We may be told that vrith the affray aS Newport the Chartist treason is at au end . I do not believe that prudeDit men will think so . It broke out suddenly auiiuBexpectedly in Wales . Wh » can say where or how it may break but elsewhere * Deep discontent ^ pervades mans of the : Working classes ; and there is this especial danger in that discontentthat to a certain extent it is well founded . They have reasoa to be grievously dissatisfied with the very limited nature of the elective franchise , and with the refusal of the protection of the Ballot . In short , they really are a slave class ^^ in England , deprived i » f all legal arid constitutional means of procuring protection for themselves . It is this , and this ^ alone , which renders the
Ghartist spirit dangerous to the existing institutions of the country . If the Tories were in office for six months the dauger from Chartist discontent -would b « multiplied one thousand fold . The Tories , who now encourage the Chartists , would , if in power , be their bitterest enemies . New penal ; laws- ^ local partiality arid oppression—the stifling of the voice of just complaint—bigotfyj exclusiyeness , increased burdens—all the crimes which Toryism is heir to , in addition to the existing grievances , would drive the working classes nearly mad ; arid . the Tories , if in power :, would soon . compel , pr tempt the middle classes to join the Chartists ^ Ihe danger to the peace of -society would be augmented enormously by the Tory advent to the Government
. : This would be so in England and Scotland : but what would it be in Ireland ? Nothing can be imagined more horrific than the state of Ireland under a restored Tory Cabinet . Sir Robert Peel would talk of justice and impartiality . Bah ! allhis plausibility would not soothe or retard the rapid spread of Orange vengeance and tyranriy on the orie hand , of just and virulent discontent on the other , •" . ' W Peel can govern Engiarid only by the aid of the traitorous Tories , he can govern Ireland only for and by the Orange faction . Impossible that he should govern Ireland otherwise . In fact ^ there are no possible materials to enable him to govern th « Triah
otherwiso than by and for the Orange faction . Conceding , that which I do not believe—that he would bedosuous to rule the Catholic people of Ireland fairly and justl y—yet he could not do'ifc He would riot be allowed to do it .

intormations were filed in the Excise Uourt against barbers and chandler ' s -shop keepers for fiellicg spirits without a license .

. MKLAKcnoLT Accident . —On Monday afternoon , as two brothers , named Parsons , farmers at Kidmore-end , were crossing the the river at Wargrave , near Healey-on-Thames , with eighty-four sheep , in the ferry-boat , -which they had just taken from a flooded meadow in the neighbourhood , accompanied by a shepherd and a waterman , when about midstream , the shepherd ' s dog began barking , and the shee p running to ore end of the boat . itimmediatelv
sunk , and , we lament to add , the two brothers and the shepherd -were drowned , and the waterman with difficulty saved . Every exertion has been made to recover the bodies , but hitherto without effeot . The mother of the young men was only buried on Sunday , and the father met with an untimely end by fall'mg from , his horse about five months since . Prom the immense flood in the Thames , it is likely the bodies may be carried a considerable distance from the spot by the current . The wholo of the sheep were saved . — Windsor Express .

Alfred Montgomery , who ; is known to the public as the innocent instrument recently employed to procure , by anticipation , post obit notices of Lord Brougham from our London contemporaries , has himself since become an actual party to a truly lamentable accident . Whilst shooting at Levermere , in Suffolk , the seat of Mr . Charles Martyri , the gun of Mr . Montgomery went off and shot away the haud of its loader . Little hopes are entertained of the recovery of the unfortunate sufferer .
