THE GOUT.
Imagine a sensation in the great toe, as if it had been suddenly
seized with a pair of red-hot pincers. Whew! There they are at it!
nipping and tearing the flesh, and then rubbing the lacerated joint
with aquafortis, or a solution of blue vitriol. And now, the pain
shoots along the nerves on that side, till my head bumps and bumps
as if a legion of imps were playing at leap-frog in it.

AMERICA.
The state of business in the United States is thus described in a
letter from Boston, dated the 7th of last July:--"The commercial world
over the globe seems paralyzed, and many manufactories on a large
scale, with the proprietors and stockholders, have failed, and are
utterly ruined. All business is confined to the wants only of the day,
teaching a necessary absolute economy, which men of business in times
past have not been accustomed to."

EMIGRATION TO NEW SOUTH WALES.
People who are accustomed to sit half the day with their hands folded,
over a bright November fire, talking of hard times and other standing
grievances, will do well to read "_A Letter from Sydney, the principal
town of Australasia, edited by Robert Ganger_;" and study an annexed
system of colonization as a remedy for their distress.
