Reader, reflect far a few minutes, and if you are 40 years of age, you will remember the thousands of blind you meet with in your walks, others with various coloured eye-shades ; indeed, such was the demand for eye-shades, that it was a business. What has re moval those sightless penult, and given place to a straightforward, clear-sighted people (the climate is the same) ? I'll tell you the cause —the universal use of Grimstone's Eye snuff 1 and because it cured Ophthalmia, Gutta Serena, Catar...et, Nervous Hea.lach, and Deaf ness, the Lords of the Treasury directed it to be denominated a medi cine, and to be stamped. Although this advanced its character, 67 cases of cure being proved by the informers, still it was an act of oppression ; as in 1825 the Solicitor of Stamps, Godfrey Sykes, Esq., altered the label, ant sanctioned its sale under order of the Lords of the Treasury; the letter of protection, signed by Herries, Esq., to Mr. William Gemstone, bearing date 18th February, 1525. This was on account of its curative qualities, being sold at that time in canis ters, within the reach of every poor family. But under this order of Government it is obliged to b 3 stamped.

The proud position in which L.

A Court was held yesterday at the Guildhall, which was very numerously attended, the principal business brought before it being the vote of thanks to Sir James Duke, the late Lord Mayor. The LORD MAYOR presided, and in opening the proeee dings said that as it was the first time that le had had the honour of meeting the Court in ti - e high position which he then held, he hoped that during his year of office he would conduct himself in such a !reamer that at the end of it he shoed not only receive the commendations of the Court, but of his fellow ci , iz.ms at large.—(Cheers.) Mr. Deputy BEDFORD then rose and said that he had a very pleasing duty to perform in proposing a vote of thanks to the late Lord Mayor, Sir James Duke; and he thought that it would be unanimously carried by the Curt, as no man had ever served the office of Lord Mayor in a better way, or in a manner, as he believed, to give greater satisfaction to the citizens of London.—(Hear, hear.) In the first place, he had to notice the way in which Sir James Duke had presided over the meetings of the Court.-- (Hear, hear.) They never had had a Lord Mayor who had outdone him in the dignity of man ner with which he bad conducted their pro ceedings. The president of an assembly like theirs had a great deal to do, and there were questions of Wrest importance arising, which made it necessary tor him to consider maturely and decide how they could best be disposed of. 'They had always been satisfied with the manner in which Sir James Duke had overcome any difficulty of that nature, and he was sure that the Court felt obliged to him for the manner in which he had performed his duties.— (Cheers.) The Court would also bear in mind that Sir James Duke had also given great satisfaction to his fellow-citizens at large—a fact which was estab lished beyond a doubt by the unanimous manner in which they had elected him one of their. representa tive,. To be a representative of the City was not an uncommon occurrence in his ward, for three Aldermen had, within his own recollection, been returned as Members for the City to the Commons' House of Parliament. Still the unanimous manner in which Sir James Duke had been selected by all parties— Whigs, Tories, Radicals, and Conservatives—showed that he had the entire confidence of his fellow-citizens. He ( Mr. Deputy Bedford) would notice the manner in which the late Lord Mayor had discharged the duties of his position towards the various charities of the City. He had noticed that the attention paid by previous Lord Mayors to the public charities lied proved a great boon to the poorer classes, and he had often expressed his opinion that the charities of Lon don were the brightest jewels in the civic crown. There was scarcely a church in the city of London which the Lord Mayor had not attended, with the object of increasing the funds of charitable institu tions.—(Cheers.) Not only so, but he had taken the chair at a variety of public meetings, and had not— that he (Mr. Deputy Bedford) was aware of—refused once to preside when called on to do so ; on the contrary, he had on those occasions, with his usual zeal, advocated the cause involved in a manner that had done him the greatest credit.—(Cheers.) lie must likewise remark on the way in which Sir James Duke had attended to the business of the Board of Health. At that time, when great alarm was felt in consequence of the ravages of cholera, the late Lord Mayor punctually attended all the dif ferent committees of the board. Everything he could do he did, and the Court was greatly obliged to him fur the manner in which he had acted.—(Cheers.) His conduct in the justice-room of the Mansion-house would meet with the approbation of every gentleman in that Court.—(Cheers.) He had paid great atten tion and exhibited great discrimination in discharging the business of that Court, and in that respect also they were highly satisfied with his conduct.— (Cheers.) With regard to the opening of the Coal- Exchange, that had proved a most splendid affair, and the Corporation had not only to thank Sir James Duke, but the committee which had directed the ar rangements of the ceremony. With the share taken by the late Lord Mayor in the opening of the Coal- Exchange they were bound to be the more gratified as her Majesty the Queen, who liked to reward merit, had conferred on him the honour of a baronetcy.— (Cheers.) That Court was always delighted when her Majesty showered honours on the citizens of London, He would conclude by moving the following vote of thanks to Sir James Duke:— " Resolved, that the cordial and sincere thanks of this Court are hiTeby presented to Sir James Duke, Knight and Baronet, M.P., late Lord Mayor, for the admirable manner in which he has sustained-the dignity and up held the character of the high and responsible offioa;of Chief Magistrate of this ancient city, fulfilling all its duties with credit to himself and satisfaction to the public—for the munificent hospitality displayed by bim, not only to his fellow-citizen:, but also to the repre sentatives of foreign Courts, as well as to the distin guished public men of this country, without regard to political p-srty or religious opinions, while at the same time ho has not been unmindf u l o f that proper consider ation so eminently due to art, science, and literature— for his liberal patronage and advocacy of the many noble charities and public institutions which adorn this metropolis, more especially for his prompt exertions in aiding by bis official authority the measures adopted to arrest :the ravages of rthe recent fatal visitation of cholera—for the able, impartial, and dignified manner in which he has presided over the deliberations of this Court, and for the courtesy exhibited at all times to its members. That this Court congratulate him upon the honours awarded to him during his mayoralty, enter , taining a confident hope that he will long retain the approbation of this Court 'and of his fellow-citizens by the faithful discharge of his public duties, watching over their important shipping and commercial interests, and upholding their rights and privileges as one of the re presentatives of this city in the great council of the nation." • Mr. Deputy °DRUID seconded the motion, and said that it would be bad taste in him to go into any lengthened argument on such a subject. lie agreed in all that his friend had stated in regard to the me rits of Sir James Duke, and though there had been many Lords Mayor in his time, and though they had all done their duty with credit to themselves and beneficially to the public, none had exceeded him. Every man was fallible, but he always gave people credit for good intentions when he believed that they did nothing wilfully to offend.—(Hear.) Ho would not take up the time of the Court further, but con clude by saying that he had great pleasure in second. ing the motion.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. L. JONES thought that before the Court agreed to the resolution something was due to it from the late Lord Mayor. When the Court met on a former occasion, with reference to the royal visit to the City, he had asked the late Lord Mayor whether he had not received a letter communicating the indisposition• of her Majesty. He acknowledged tigat- he had, but he thought fit to leave the Court without communi cating one word of the contents—a matter which was of great importance in order to guide the proceedings of the Corporation on the occasion. The late Lord Mayor had treated the letters which he had received as private information, though they related to the health of the Sovereign. Surely the communication ought instantly to have been made to the Court, which would then have taken the constitutional course of directing its proper officers to wait on the Ministers of State, to know if it was the pleasure of her Majesty to postpone her visit. But not one word was communicated to the Court, and the indisposition of her Majesty was first announced to them in the evening papers of that day. The Lord Mayor promised that the letters received by him should be communicated to the committee; but the Court knew nothing of them. He was led to believe from the best information that the City had thus been deprived of her Majesty's presence--(Cries of "No, no.") He asked them, if they doubted the fac', to let an inquiry take place, and therwould find if it was not anticipated that the Royal visit would be postponed. Be that as it might, he asserted, that there had been an omission on the part of the late Lord Mayor in not communicating to the Court information which was due to it. He did not rise to oppose the resolution, but would ask the chairman of the Coal Exchange Committee whether he was in possession of the letters to which he had referred, and if so, he (Mr. Lambert Jones) wished them to be read to the Court, as bid been promised. —(Disapprobation ) Mr. ANDERTON hoped that the chairman would not consent to produce the letters. Ho was of opinion judiciously, for the late Lord Mayor hal acted most for had the communication been made at that time it would have alarmed the whole country as to the state of her Majesty's health, and might have been made use of on the Stock Exchange.—(" No, no," from Mr. Lambert Jones) If the whole question was to he opened be thoug at that the discussion should be conducted with clo'ed doors. Mr. J. Low also thought that the discussion should be conducted privately. But the chairman of the Coal Exchange Committee informed him that he did not feel at liberty to read private letters. Mr. BLARE s a id th a t w h a t ever op i n i on th e C our t might entertain as to the act of the late Lord Mayor, whether it was an act of indiscretion or not, he would ask whether it was consistent with good taste to in troduce such a subject at the present moment, when they were about to pay the meed of approbation justly due to a man on whom the honour of a baronetcy had been conferred by his Sovereign ? At any other time an inquiry might be made into the subject, if such a course was thought expedient. Mr. L. JONES said that he ,had nothing to withd but he begged to ask the Court whether it wished tha the letters to which he had referred should is read ? —(Loud cries of " No, no."), --- Mr. J. WOOD thought that if a diseassion was to ' arise it ought to be with closed doors, for he felt it would not be right that he should be asked to read • the in open court letters of a private charaeer. He assured the Court that the Committee of the Coal-Ex-- change was free from all blame. The arrangements connected with the Royal visit gave universal satis faction, he believed. Ile had himself been honoured with an assurance from his Royal Highness Prince Albert that the arrangements had befin most satisfac tory, and he trusted that no further discussion would arise upon the subject. He had further to mention that tha letters to vi hick reference had been made, if they were read, would not b?ar out the cons‘ruction that some members of the Court had put upon them. —(ilean) It was only within the last two or three • days that those letters had been put into his hands. What l e had said on his own behalf he could state on behalf of every member of the CoabExchange Committee. He hoped, however, that the discus- siml would terminate at once.—(Hear.) Mr. LOTT, who complained that the late Lord Mayor, Laving promised him to produce the letters to the Court, i)ad brektn his word, announced his intention, it' h held up his hand alone, to oppose the vote of thanks. Mr. STEVENS and others having spoken shortly on thesulject, The vote of thanks was put and carried by an almost unanim;Jui show of hands, Mr. Lott being the only member of the Court who held up his hand against it. He did so with so much perseverance as to excite general laugher in the court, holding his arm up for at least three minutes longer than was at all necessary. The RECORDER then read a letter from Sir James Duke requesting that as soon as the business of the late ma) oralty was disposed of he might be permitted to make a confidential communication to the Court. Strangers were then ordered to withdraw, and on their re-admission the general business of the Court was proceeded The TOWN CLERK said he had received lists of free men and non freemen of the City from all the wards, with the exception of the wards of Bishopsgate Within and Cord wainers, from which no account whatever had been returned. Ordered to be entered in the minutes of the Court. The TOWN CLERK read a letter which had been addressed by Mr. Pritchard, the High Bailiff of Southwark, to the Lord MAyor, Aldermen, and Commons, in Common Council assembled. It stated that he was by the terms of his appointment to re ceive and legally to enforce the receipt of all fines and amerciaments imposed by competent authority within the borough ; that in the schedule lately de livered' to him of fines imposed by the Court Leet, he found two fines awarded by one of the Courts against Mr. John Humphary, alderman, the one of 51., in re spect cf his weights and measures, and the other 101., for obstructing the public highway in front of his pre mises in the borough ; that iu answer to the applica tion for payment of the fines, the alderman disputed them, and stated it to be his intention to remove the whole proceedings to the Court of Queen's Bench, at Westminster, and that as the effect of such a proceed ing in the first law courts of the country might be to draw into serious question' the rights of the Corpo ration within the borough of Southwark, the High BQiliff was unwilling to take the initiative in an affair possibly of so much importance without special directions from the Court. Alderman Rumen Fay said ho had strong grounds for determining upon the course of resisting such an attempt as had been de=cribed, and for which there was no justification whatever. As to the obstruction complained of, it consisted in the removal of goods from one part of his premi4es to another. The Court Leet, of which the Recorder was steward, had de cided that the ietermuliate space was the public way. lle denied that such was the fact; and if such were the fact, the premisses would be comparatively value less to him. As for the defective weights and mea sures alluded to, they had been on the premises for a great length of time and were never used, and their deficiency was caused by a fire which had taken place there some years age, and by which the lead attached to the iron had been melted. He was determined to refer, under such circumstances, to a higher authority than that by which the penalties, of which he would not pay one farthing, were claimed. It was stated by a member that the conviction was confirmed in the Court, in which the Recorder presided. _ . _ Mr. NORRIS moved that the communication be re. (erred to the Officers and Ch rks Committee. Mr. DE JERSEY moved as an amendment that it should be laid upon the table. Mr. WIRE said he hoped there would be no attempt to revive court leets. Ile knew what such courts were in other districts—merely institutions for inflicting plunder. Finally, the High-Bailiff's letter was ordered to lie on the table. APPOINTMENT OF AUDITORS OF THE SEWERS ACCOUNTS. Upon . the motion of Mr. BLARE, it was agreed, after some discwsion, that the resolution of the Court of the 16th of October, "that the auditors of the Commissioners of Sewers be not paid," should be rescinded, and the Court then agreed "that the said auditors be not members of the Court, and that the said auditors be paid the sum of five guineas each." APPOINTMENT OF COMMISSIONERS. The Court proceeded to appoint four Commis rnissioner upon the Metropolitan Commission of Sewers, in accordance with the Act. The following gentlemen were appointed :—Mr. Alderman Law rence, Mr. Deputy Peacock, Mr. Deputy Harrison, and Mr. H. Lowman Taylor. Several reports were brought up from the Coal, Corn, and Finance Committ ee recommend i ng that sums of money should be granted to charities. The Court agreed to the reports, and the Chamber• lain was ordered to pay the amounts. Adjourned. WINTER OVER COATS.

" Allow me to drink your health," exclaimed a Tea totaller, raising to his lips a tumbler of water just drawn from a London cistern. " Never!" cried the individirsl addressed, upsetting the tumbler with a motion of his hand. " Never, my friend, shall you drink my health at the sacrifice of your own." Both parties stood silent for an instant, when a sediment at the bottom of the tumbler revealed the awful fact that the liquid thus happily dis posed of had been supplied by a Metropolitan Water Comp ny. ANECDOTE, No. 2.—An unfortunate railway specu lator had for some time exhibited a morbid depression of the spints, which it was feared by his friends might take a turn towards suicide. Every precaution had been taken to keep all implements of mischief out of his reach, but a few days ago the unhappy man was seen to make a sudden rush at the cistern—which is supplied with Thames water—and had he not been seized by a trusty domestic, there is no doubt he would, in another minute, have drawn and swallowed the fatal draught.— Punch.

PRESTON, Nov 22.—This morning a dreadful accident occurred at the cotton-mill of Messrs. Swain son, l3irley, and Co., Fishwick, near this town, by which one man was instantaneously killed, and another so fearfully injured, that, in all probability, death must speedily ensue. It appears that on Wednesday morning Mr. Oddy, the manager of the mill, perceived an escape of gas, and gave orders for an examination of the pipes. This morning, about twenty minutes to seven o'clock, a labourer, of the name of Thomas Lawson, proceeded to search for the leakage ; it being dark he procured a lamp, when the gas from the main pipe imree.. di2tely ignited at the mouth of a sewer. The conse quence was, that the whole of the lights in the north east portion of the mill were extinguished , upon which the weavers instantly threw their looms out of gear. The engine being relieved of a great propor• lion of its weight acquired such a velocity from the impetus thus given to it that the fly-wheel was splin tered to pieces. This engine (which was a small one, there being two in the factory) was situated at the east-end of the large mill, and worked the looms in the north-east mill. The ordinary speed of the fly-wheel was about 50 revolutions per minute. One of the co lumns of the large engine was broken off, sad the frag ments were scattered in various directions ; some to one end and some to the other end of the engine house, which is 80 feet long. A partition wall two feet thick, dividing the engine-room, was levelled with the greund by the force of the shock. John Cooke, engine tenter, a man about 60 years of' age, was dreadfully injured whilst endeavouring, as was supposed, to stop his engine. His right arm was torn off near to the shoulder joint, and he was also otherwise kurt—so much so, indeed, that his life is despaired of. He was ,struck by a fragment of the fly-a heel, and fell a depth of 10 feet through a hole which hal been made in the floor. The stop valve and chest of the engine (which was of 40 horse power) having been broken off caused it to stop. Shortly after the accident, Henry Kirkham, manager in the throstle-room, was found lying behind the door of the south entrance to the engine-house. lie was quite dead, having been struck on the head by a fragment of the wheel, and his legs also were broken. He ,was 24 years of age. A fragment of the fly wheel penetrated the wall at the north end of the engine-room, which is 18 inches thick. Another fragment was thrown through the window at the south end of the large engine -house. The small engine. house, where the casualty occurred, is 28 feet by 10 feet. The engine sustained compa ratively little damage. The windows at each end of the engine-house were sha'.tered to pieces. A por tion of the hands, from 600 to 700 in number, will be deprived of work for a short time by the accident probably, however, not for more than a few days. r Advertisement.] 1 /ECTUIIES ON CONSUMPT ION , &c. &c.—Dr. Cr on i n will commence on the 29th instant a popular course of tax lectures on diseases of the Lungs, Chest, Stomach, and Liver.

DEATH OF COLONEL JOHN BIZOWNE•—With the most sincere regret we record the death of Colonel John Browne, of Brtaify, on yesterday, af ter a p rotracte d an d lingering illness. The deceased was the youngest son of th e late A. Browne, Esq., of Breaty, and from a very early age embraced a military life. He was present (and not inactively) in all the engagements during the Penin sular campaign, up to the period of the battle of Water loo, where he was so severely wounded that his life was for many months despaired of. He has been for some years residing on his paternal inheritance in this neigh. bourliood.—Mqo Telegraph.
