IVEATHER PREDICTIONS.—AII who de light in this foreknowledge should purchase, without loss of time, GRIMSTONE'S WEATHER ALMANACK, whose predic tions of the weather, from his publication to the present day, have bib t checked by many proprietors of newspapers and other works. Tilt " Times" has eulogised its correctness and peculiar mode of 111 .ting ; see page 57. The " John Bull," published its usual check, De . 22, 1844, giving it, indeed, 336 correct daily predictions : see copy, pages 52 and 54. Al ;o, " The Sun," the " Globe," the " Era," the " Post," " Herald," " Chronicle." " Satirist," " Punch," and many others, have noticed the correctness of this unique work.

Sir,—For the last three or four years I have been labouring under a nervous deafness, so much so at times as to be almost incapable of hearing. After trying several very eminent aurists, from whom I de rived scarcely any relief, I was induced at the solicitation of a friend to try your excellent Eye Snuff. I accordingly procured one of your 4s. 4d. canisters, after taking which I found considerable benefit, so much so that I sent for two more, which having used, I found my hearing completely restored, and I hare not been deaf since. I should mention that the time I commenced taking your Eye Snuff was in April last, and have continued taking it since.—l am, Sir, your obe dient servant, W. 11. ADAMS. To Mr. W. Grimstone. ' Any quantity of Eye Snuff can be forwarded through the General Post, by sending money orders. A 2s. 4d. canister, with directions, will cost 35., and so on in like proportion. DECLAR %VON OF THE GUARDIANS GF BRENT, DEVON, RAL SE'S SCORBUTIC DROPS. A SURE CURE FOR BAD LEGS. The following case has excited so much interest, that the Guardians of the parish of Brent, Devon, have considered it their duty to sign their names to the accompanying important declaration : We, the undersigned, solemnly declare that before Thomas Boling, one of our parishioners, commenced taking " Halse's Scorbutic Drops" he was literally covered with large running wounds (some of them so large that a person might have laid his fist in them) ; that before he had finiped the first bottle he noticed an improvement, and that by eon/Inning them for some time, he got completely restored to health, after everything else had failed. He had tried various sorts of medicines befc re taking " Halse's Scorbutic Drops," and had prescriptions from the most celebrated physicians in this country, without deriving the least benefit. " Halse's Scorbutic Drops," have so completely cured him, and he is now enabled to attend to his labour as well as any man in our parish. From other cures also made in this part, we strongly recommend Halse's Scorbutic Drops" to the notice of the public. Signed by John Eliott, sen., Lord of the Manor, John Manning, William Pearce, Henry Goodman, Arthur Langworthy. June 21, 1843. Tne above-mentioned Thomas Rolins was quite incapable of doing any kind of work whatever before he commenced taking these Drops. Some of his wounds were so large that it was most awful to look at them, and the itching and pain of the wounds generally were most dreadful; indeed, the poor fellow could be heard screeching by passers by, both day and night, for, sleep was entirely out of the ques tion. He was reduced to mere skit► and bone, and daily continued to get weaker, so that there was every probability of his speedy death. Read the following extract from the- " Nottingham Review" : " IMPURITY OF THE BLOOD THE CAUSE OF SCURVY, BAD LEGS, ike. " It is really astonishing that so many persons should he content to be afflicted with scurvy wounds in the legs, &c., when it is a well ascertained fact that Halse's Scorbutic Drops' make the disease vanish like snow before the sun. No one is better enabled to judge of the value of a medicine as to its effects on the bulk of the people than a vendor of the article ; and as vendors of this medicine we can conscientiously recommend it to our friends, for there is scarcely a day passes but we hear some extraordinary accounts of it ; indeed, we have known parties who have tried other advertised medicines without the least success, and yet on resorting to this preparation, the now justly-celebrated Heise's Scorbutic Drops,' the disease has yielded as if by magic. We again say, ' Try Halse's Scorbutic Drops.'

The following are the suggestions contained in the docu rnent prepared by . an eminent commercial authority, portions of which have been published :— Pro forma View of equalizing the Annual Revenue and Expenditure, presuming that the Excise and Assessed Taxes, and the Stamps on Marine and Fire Assurances, and also the Duties of Customs (except eight) should be abolished, and adding Distilled Spirits and Malt, now under the Excise, to the Customs, and Excise Licences to the Stamps : abolishing all other of the Assessed Taxes, and the whole Excise establishrhent.

Unredeemed Land-tax Deficit £50,000,000 31,500,061 7,500,000 1,200,000 9,800,000 £50,000,000 This deficit is to be levied, not by doubling, or rather more than doubling, the present income-tax, but by the less in quisitorial and more direct and equitable plan of an annual assessment in the pound upon the annual value of all realised. property. And surely 11,000,000/., includinahe unredeemed land-tax, out of 50,000,000/ of total taxation, forms but a small proportion of the total sum to be levied directly. The reason that we include only eight articles in the Cus.. toms duties, is on the sound principle that if an article is to be taxed when consumed, it should be so taxed without any difference being made as to the place where produced; the consumer always paying the full market price of the article he consumes, including every tax upon it. There is no manufactured article which yields a revenue of any consequence except silks; which, being an article of luxury, though not included above, we have less objection to its being taxed than any other. The duty might be modi fied so as to produce 250,0001. a year. Gloves yield 28,000/. ; woollen manufactures about 17,000/. If Parliament, however, should determine not to abolish the window and other assessed taxes, except the unredeemed land-tax, then our pro forma view of financial revenue would stand as follows : Customs £21,500,000} Malt and home- distilled £31,500,000 spirits 10,000,000 Stamps, excluding Marine and Fire In- surances V. Assessed Taxes V. Deficit to be levied on all realised pro perty 7,500,000 4,500,000 6,500,000 Total revenue £50,000,000 INCOME-TAX, COLLECTED IN THE YEAR ENDED STH APRIL, 1843.

In 1801, the assessments for England, including incomes above 1504, amounted to £74,676,894 The income from assessments under 150/. per annum, and not under 60/., amounted to Difference, being incomes above 1501. per ann. £56,571,654 Now, if 56,571,654 : 11,105,240 : : 195,287,544 : 62,499,831; and if the incomes under 1501., and above 601., from all the schedules be in 1844 in the same proportion to those above 1501., as in .1801 (and there is no reason that they should not), then the total income of Great Britain in 1844 should amount to 257,787,375/. We consider that of this amount 200,000,0001. may be estimated as the rents and profits of all realised property—viz., the rents and profits on all lands, tenements, houses, and constructions, including factories, warehouses, docks, ship-yards, railways, can a l s , public funds, Bank oiEngland Stock, East India and South Sea Stock, and the stock and shares of all Companies whose stocks and shares are bought and sold in the market. GOLD MINES IN RussiA.---An account has been laid before Parliament of the produce in gold of the washings of the mines in Siberia and Oural, carried on upon account cf the Crown and of individuals, from 1830 to 1842 inclu sive. In the years mentioned the total produce of mines be longing to the Crown was 2,053 pouds (one pond being equal to 36 pounds avoirdupoise). The produce of mines belonging to individuals was 4,118 ponds. The grand total shows the produce in gold of the washings of the mines in Russia to have been, in the years mentioned, 6,171 ponds, or about 13,770,0001. The increase latterly has been enormous, in the amount raised .by individuals—the average annual amount having been about 250 ponds; while, in 1842, it reached 740 ponds, or 1,650,0001. MR. BARON PLATT.—The members of the Home Circuit held a meeting last week, at the chambers of Mr. Sergeant Channel, at which it was resolved that the Learned Baron should be invited to a most magnificent entertainment, as a mark of the high esteem in which he is held by the bar.

Mr. Russell Gurney is to preside as chairman, in his new capacity as leader of the circuit. The banquet will be of the most costly description, and the tickets are two guineas each. PUGILISM.—CHURCH AND BURTON.-- On Tuesday was tile evenful day fixed for the fight between these men, who were matched for 501. a-side ; and, from their well-known merit as bruisers, the pugilistic fancy anticipated a fine display of fistic science. Burton is a Leicester man, and Church a member of the London ring. Ar rangements were made for an aquati c excursion, and the Nymph steamer was " specially retained" for the belligerents and their friends, and Gravesend was the locality selected. The steamer started from Hungerford Pier with a large assemblage of the " admirers of milling," Burton, under the wing of " Jens Burn," and ar rived at their destination in the confident hope of meeting their an tagonist, when, "lo and behold," Church was non eat inventus. Wry faces were made, and hard words used, but to no purpose. A war rant haying ts'ued against Church, and who (as was stated) had been arrested at his training quarters, the stakeholder intimated that Bur ton was entitled to the prize-money, and the milling fancy made their exit, greatly disappointed and chagrined, YORK CATHEDRAL.

TO ..THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SlR,—Observing in your paper a letter, in which public attention has been very properly drawn by, Mr. George Robins, in respect pia recent rescue from death of r a. drowning map at. Leith ; by the prompt exertionS:ef a brayt Man; named James Qarn,ie ; from this round unvarniSSl tale,- it should seem that it is alone to the bra Very and kind-hearted feeling, and at the peril of his life, that a human being has been thus saved from death ; 'yet this is one of the many cases that are daily occurring throughout the country. We hear of them and coldly compliment the intrepid man who has risked, and in very many cases lost, his own life in the humane endeavour to save that of a fellow-creature. But this in not all ; the poor man himself, or the widow and children whom his kind heart has thus reduced to poverty and mental distress not easily imagined, and certainly not to be described, are left to deplore, his loss—his bravery and accompanying sacrifice is reported in the papers as an every-day occurrence, and in one single week the poor but brave fellow is altogether forgotten. Now, in a country like this, where charity holds a higher place in public feeling than any other throughout Europe—where ingenuity seems almost to have been puzzled to find out what is left undone or wanting to render still more of benefit to our distressed brethren, it is not a little singular that it has never occurred to the benevolent that there needs a stimulus to induce a man to risk his life in the hope of saving another, at the peril of losing his own. I know full well that Scripture is full of quotations, and comfort to re ward the good men who are ready to encounter such fearful risk and sacrifices, and I also know thatthere are many ofthe really good who will repose on this thought alone, and seek nothing beyond It. Now I am of opinion an institution is loudly called for to which all such cases should be submitted, and from whose funds every one will find a cheering, a pecuniary solace, a little more substantial than the cold reward of having done a perilous duty. If the Baron de Rothschild, or Mr. Baring, or Mr. Hannan, or a hundred others included in the term " millionaire," would only propose an institution of this kind, it would be adorned by such a list of subscribers as would amply testify there are in great abundance those who will willingly encourage the brave and kind-bearted by something more substantial than praise. February 15. HUMANITY. . . _ The brave fellow (Carnie), whose case is above alluded---;;;In1;d -dItion to his bravery, seems actuated by no small degree of gratitude. He thus writes to Mr. G. I{--:—" The success of my attempt was of itself a rich reward, and the spontaneous sympathy, the kind feeling, and the knowledge that my exertions have been so greatly and immediately responded to, will act as a powerful incentive to re newed exertion, should I be again placed in similar circumstances."

DALHOUSIE. C. W. PASLEY. G. R. PORTER. D. O'BRIEN. S. LAING. PARLIAMENTARY COMMITTEES ON RAILWAYS. Sub-Committee, No.: 3,- ilislieliabled yegterday. The Committt. cosisted of Mr. Aglionlyy, Chairman, Mr. T. Egerton, Mr. Barneby, Captain Jones, Mr. Standish, and Mr. Clive. The Committee had the foilowing petitions before than ; Caledonian Railway—Glasgow, Dumfries; and Carlisle—Monkland and Kirkintilloch—Edinburgh and Glasgow—Great Grimaby and Slieffield—Huddersfleld and Manchester—Manchester, South Junction and Altrincham Railway—Shrewsbury and Birmingham. The Committee took the Caledonian line first. It appeared that the length of the line was 135 miles—its cost 2,100,000/., and that It was without tunnelling. The necessary forms having been proved to have been complied with, the Committee desided that the standing order had been complied with. The Committee also decided in favour of the Glasgow, Dumfries, and Carlisle Railway. The Committee, after hearing formal evidence, decided thd the Standing Orders had bee' complied with in the following Bills : The Monkland and Kirkintilloch Railway. Great Grimsby and Sheffield Junction Railway. Huddersfield and Manchester Railway and Canal. Manchester South Junction and Altrmcham Railway. In the case of the Edinburgh and. Glasgow Railway, opposition was offered, on the part of the Duke of Montrose, by Mr. Deans, on the ground that the description of the line was not accurate. No witnesses, however, were forthcoming in support of this allegation, and it, consequently, fell to the ground. Mr. DEANS then took an objection to the petition, in con sequence of an omission in the plan of a description of the radius of a curve. The Committee referred to the plan in question, and the omission appearing, the question was referred to the Select Committee on Standing Orders. SHREWSBURY AND BIRMINGHAM RAILWAY. As it was stated that there would be great opposition to this petition, the Committee postponed it till Monday. The Committee then adjourned. WHITEHALL, FEB.. 17.

BUXTON, BART.—We regret to state that letters have been received in town this morn ing, announcing the death of Sir Thomas Fowell Buxton, Bart., on the 19th inst., at his seat, Northrepps, Norfolk, after a lingering illness, which for the last fortnight had con fined him to his bed. This distinguished man first becam* known to his country by his exertions to diminish the se. ferings of those at home, whether confined in gaols or stray gling in deepest poverty, as the Spitalfields manufacturers quarter ofa century age. Entering Parliament, he commenced that career of enlarged and comprehensive usefulness which will always associate his name with the abolition of slavery in the West Indies, and with the most active endeavours to confirm and improve the measures for the abolition of the slave-trade; and not less with the admirable, though not equally successful, efforts for the benefit of the African race in their own vast continent. The comparative failure of the Niger exp editton preyed, there was reason to fear, on his spirits an on his health; though he never ceased to feel, that every measure which wisdom and zeal, combined in the Go vernment which directed that expedition, could effect to in• sure its success, had been faithfully employed; but it pleased God otherwise.
