This is an essential spirit, drawn from aromatic herbs and flowers (grown at his Her bary, Highgate), which has been long known to the nobility and gentry, by whom it is highly appreciated for its manifold virtues, too numerous to be set forth in an advertisement, but may be read in his pamphlet, In which the bottles are enclosed. Each pamphlet has the signature of William Grimstone, Merchant, Herbary, Highgate, and will be found at page 11, uWer the copy of Mrs. Weekly's Letter to the Editor of the " Times" newspaper, 7th of August, 1846. This pamphlet Is forwarded through the post, on receiving two postage stamps. The Aromatic Regenerator can be forwarded through the post on receiving a post-office order for 4s. 6d., 7s.

Reader, reflect for a fcw 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 moved those sightless beings, 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, cataract, Nervous Headach, and Deaf ness, the Lords of the Treasury directed it to be denominated a medi cine, and to be stamped. Although this advanced its charaeter, 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, and sanctioned its sale under order of the Lords of the Treasury; the letter of protection, signed by Herries, Esq., to Mr. William Grimstone, hearing date 18th February, 1525. This was on account of its curative qualities, being sold at that time is cants• tern, within the reach of every poor family. But under this order of Government it is obliged to he stamped.

A well-dressed and exceedingly interesting-looking young woman applied to Mr. Elliott, for his advice and assistance under the following distressing and somewhat singular circumstances : From the statement of the fair applicant, it appeared that she is the daughter of a clergyman, who is and has been for some years the curate of one of the most important, as well as one of the most wealthy, pa rishes in the city of London, and is one of a family of six children, who, with her father and mother, had lived in great respectability and the utmost com fort for many years in the vicinity of the Camberwell gate. For some short time a dancing -master in the neighbourhood paid her some attentions, and about two months since they were married, her husband being under the impression at the time that he should re ceive from her father 1501. in cash down, and also looked forward to other pecuniary expectations. Since their marriage, however, it unfortunately trans pired that her father was not married to her mother, and had himself recently got united to another woman. Her husband discovering this, and finding his expectations as to money matters frustrated, turned her out of doors. Her mother had not the means to support her, and under these afflicting cir cumstances it was that she sought the advice and kind assistance of his worship. Mr. ELLIOTT remarked that the applicant's circum stances certainly were of a most distressing character, and regretted he could not of himself afford her any permanent assistance. Her husband, it was quite clear, was bound by law to support her, but in order to compel him to do so she must in the first instance become chargeable to the parish in which she resided, and then get the parish officers to move in the matter, and this done, her husband would be compelled to support her according to his means, or, in the event of his refusing to do so, he would be liable to be sent to the House of Correction. -- The applicant, who evidently felt the unpleasant if not humiliating situation in which she was placed, said she should act on his Worship's kind advice, and apply to the officers of St. Mary's, Newington, in which parish her husband as well as her mother re sided, and left the court for the purpose. WORSHIP-STREET. Mrs. Martha Yardley, landlady of a public-house in Gloucester-street, Hoxton, appeared before Mr. Hammill, upon an information exhibited against her by Inspector Pascoe, of the N division, for unlawf u lly permitting gambling upon her premises. Mr. Joseph Ash, a bootmaker, in Jewin-street, Cripplegate, stated that on the 25th ult. two well dressed men drove up in a gig to his father's ware house, on entering which they intimated that they were commissioned to find a purchaser for a large quantity of boots and shoes, which were to be sold at a great sacrifice, and advising him to place 101. in his pocket, invited him to accompany them, and they would put him in a way of making an excel lent bargain. After some further conversation they drove him in their chaise to the defendant's house, where one of them proposed that he should remain with his friend while he went to fetch the owner of the boots, but they had scarcely entered the place when a man of stylish appearance Came in, and, after calling for some refreshment and making remarks upon ordinary topics, proposed, as they appeared t o h ave an idl e half-hour on their hands, that they should join him in a game of billiards 'Witness's companion intimated that there was n. accommodation of that kind there, but suggested that they should retire to the rear of the pre mises to amuse themselves with a game at skittles, to which the other expressed great repugnance, as being a vulgar game which no gentleman un derstood ; but was ultimately induced to accede to it, though seemingly with great reluctance. They ac cordingly proceeded to the ground, were the two strangers commenced playing, the first of whom was winning rapidly, when the one who had left returned with the intimation that the stock witness intended to purchase had been already sold, but he would intro duce him to another transaction that would be equally advantageous. Feeling some interest in the result of the game, as the man who had last entered ap peared to be a perfect gentleman, and had already lost about 61., he closely watched the proceedings of the players, who had commenced bet ting half-sovereigns, which were deposited in the hands of the defendant's barman, who had joined them in the interim, and acted as stakeholder, and three half. sovereigns having been so deposited, he was asked to place down a fourth.. to make even money, which he did, and it was instantly pronounced to be lost. Two other stakes of similar amount followed the same way, and they having persuaded biro to play for a stake of 10/. a-side, he had nearly won the game, when a dispute was raised about his money not having been deposited, and he was induced to hasten home for the amount, which his father refused to supply him with, and on returning to the house .for a valuable meerschaum pipe he had left there, he was told by the barman that he had handed over the whole of the stakes to the other men, all of whom he said had left the house, although witness saw their chaise still standing outside. Inspector Pearce stated that he had received nu merous complaints from persons who had suffered from similar practices at the defendant's house, one of whom, who was in attendance, had been trepanned there, and lost an amount of 51. by the same juggling process. In answer to the charge the defendant said that she had no personal knowledge of what had taken place in the skittle-ground, and called her barman, iiidward Coleman, who stated that after calling his mistress down stairs t 4 attend to the business, he repaired to the skittle-ground, and certainly acted in the ca pacity before described, but had no participation in the alleged collusion, and supposed that the whole of them were personal friends. Mr. HAMMILL said he considered the case had been clearly established, and after cautioping the de fendant, that if brought there again upon a like charge she would be liable to a penalty of 101, to be afcer wards increased to 501. for any subsequent offence, sentenced her to ply the full penalty of Si. imposed by the statute for a first conviction, with the costs.

MONUMENT TO EBENEZER ELLIOTT. The true-tempered men of Sheffield are about to do a new honour to themselves by honouring the memory of Ebenezer Elliott, the man whose iron pen drew up the indictment against that public robber Corn-law ; and never was indictment better drawn for conviction, though a rare success attended the novel deed, for it was only worded with common words, the words themselves hot and glowing with hate of wrong . Elliott struck from his subject—as the blacksmith strikes from the red iron—sparkles of burning light; and where they fell they consumed. BRs homely in dignation was sublimed by the intensity of his honesty ; if his words were homely, they were made resistless by the inexorable purpose that uttered them. But the man had the true heart and soul of the poet, and could love the simple and beautiful as passionately as he denounced the selfish 'and the mean. He would turn from the coronet of the corn-law landlord, the thin.. he had hammered very small indeed, showing with hid best vehemence how very, very little was a symbol of social rank when misused for social wrong ; he would turn from the battered bauble, and then from the heart of a hedge-flower extract the balm of beauty and the spirit of love. The Corn-law Rhymes did greatest service. They were the earliest utterances of a people contending with a sense of inarticulate suffering. They sup plied the words; they gave a voice and meaning to the labouring heart, and the true poet vindicated his true mission by making his spirit pass into the spirits of the many. Very secure, indeed, in the genius of the corn-law were the lordly corn -law landlords. Contemptuously serene the titled Triptolemuses. There was, to be a fitful noise —an sure,impatient grunt of the swine mu l t itude; impatient o f hi gh-priced meal. Yet all w ent gaily in the H ouse ; yea, in both Houses of Landlords. And at the time there was a plain, strong, vulgar man, putti ng -d own certa i n sy l la b les, measuring out wordy li nes — every li ne t h e s i new of a Samson to pull down the heathen temple where s at enshrined. A nd these words went Monopoly abroad. They were sung by workmen on their road to labour —they were chant e d at c l u b s ; t h ey were droned at the fireside. Wrong and indignation were packed into verses, and made portable to the smallest faculty. In the meanwhile, what cared the landlord Commons—what the landlord Lords ? Time rolled on, and Corn -law was condemned. The indictment drawn by the poet was the draft after wards improved ; but Ebenezer Elliott was the first drawer; and honoured be the men of Sheffield, who seek to do monurne D tal homag e t o their patriotic poet I modern stat ues to the sword.

HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE. Mozart's chef d'ceuere, Il Don Giovanni, which is without exception the most perfect opera in the world, was produced here last evening, in perhaps the Most perfect manner in which it has ever been pro duced. The following was the cast : Donna Anna ... Madlle. Parodi Donna Elvira ... Madame Giuliani. Zerlina ... Madame Sontag. Don Giovanni ... ... Signor Coletti. Don Ottavio ... Signor Calzolari. Masetto ... ... Signor F. Lablache. Leporello .. ... Signor Lablache. We had imagined it scarcely possible to cast this opera more strongly than it was cast last season at her Majesty's Theatre, but we must confess that the cast of the present season is even still stronger, stronger by all the difference between the Zerlina of Madlle. Alboni and that of Madame Sontag. The Zer lina of Madame Sontag ,is perfect. She is by far the best Zerlina that has ever ap peared upon the lyrical stage. There is a win ning simplicity dashed with a coquettish arch ness about her acting of the part which is perfectly fascinating, and then she is so graceful, so naturally lady-like, yet so perfectly artless and so completely void of guile, that her Z3rlina is, without exception, the most perfect representation of the character ever seen, and only to be compared to her Susanna, her Rosina, and her Norina. Her singing was exqui sitely beautiful and true to the music ; she seldom indulged in ornament, and when she did they were in exquisite keeping with the text, and were such as Mozart himself would have written for the part, could he have foreseen the advent of such a perfect artiste as Madame Sontag. Her acting in the " La ci darem" scene was a fascinating piece of coquetry restrained by rustic timidity, and her singing in this far-famed duet was exquisitely , beautiful ; it is needless to say that the duet was en thusiastically encored, as indeed was every other piece in the opera in which Madame Sontag took a part. The " Bata, Matti " was the very perfection both of singing and acting; beginning slowly, and in a somewhat melancholy mood, she gradually lapsed into playful coquetry and then burst out into joyous exultation, as Masetto gradually yielding to her coaxing, at length consents to a reconciliation. The greatest triumph, however, was reserved for the last, it was the " Vedrai Carino," which was rendered in a style that, for purity, of taste, for exquisite feel ing, for flute-like sweetness of tone, and for marvel lous perfection of execution, has never been equalled. The audience were stilled into breathless admiration during her performance of this beautiful aria, and at its conclusion there was an outburst of enthusiastic applause and a loud and unanimous call for its repe tition, with which Madame Sontag gracefully corn 'plied. Coletti, who made his first appearance fur the season, was in excellent voice, and acted the part . of the Don with great spirit. Hz sang the music excellently well, was encored in " La ci darem," and in " Finche han dal Vino," and ought to have been encored in " Deh vieni albs finestra," the serenade in the second act, which he rendered with great taste. Mademoiselle Parodi exhibited immense tragic power as Donna Anna. Her denunciation of Don Giovanni as the murderer of her father was intensely impassioned. Madame Giuliani sang the music of 14Ivira with great taste, and Calzolari has added greatly to his well.earned fame, by his , admirable performance of Don Ottavio. His vocalization was perfect throughout, and he was most deservedly encored in "Il mio tesero," which we have never heard more exquisitely rendered. Lablache was the Leporello, c'est tout dire en un mot; and the Masetto of Frederick Lablache was worthy the Leporello . of his father. In the ball scene Car lotte Grisi and Marie Taglioni (the latter habited en Cavalier) danced the minuet and the zarabunda in the most graceful and picturesque style ima ginable—each pose was a study 'fur a sculptor. The zarabunda was encored. Between the acts Mademoiselle Amalia Ferraris danced her grand pas, and was received with the greatest enthusiasm. Les Matarnorphoses concluded the evening's entertain ment. We cannot conclude this notice without pay ing honour due to Mr. Balfe and the orchestra, for the admirable manner in which the former conducted and the latter performed the beautiful music of the masterpiece of Mozart. It'was worthy of the theatre, of the conductor, of the artistes, and of the Maestro. The theatre was crowded in every part. The Queen's box was occupied by Lady Emily Seymour, Miss Seymour, Colonel and the lion. Mrs. Berkeley Drummond, and Captain H. Seymour.

The performance of I Puritani, which was to have taken place at this theatre last evening, was postponed in consequence of the indisposition of Signor Mario, and Nor►na was substituted in its place. Grisi was of course the Norma, and never has even she herself surpassed her majestic impersonation of the - character of the Druid priestess of last evening. The conception which she has formed of the character belongs to the loftiest order of poetry. The blending of mys tic inspirations with the feelings and the frailties of humanity is so touching at once, and so true, that, as we contemplate the magnificent pic ture we are carried, in spite of ourselves, into the past, and are made to realise a mode cf life and of religion with which we have nothing in common. Madame Vera acquitted herself extremely well in Adalgisa, and Signor Tamberlik sustained the repulsive character of Pollio very creditably. The tremulousness of voice, however, of which we have already spoken, has not departed, and proved again on this occasion extremely injurious to his otherwise meritorious performance. Herr Formes, in Oroveso, waa truly great.

Mr. Stirling Coyne's version of The Yicar of Wakefield was produced here last night with the most complete success; It is perfectly different from the Strand version. The Strand author has taken the sentimental portion of the story a• the basis of his version, and has endeavoured to use the very words of the novel in every instance that he possibly can, and has followed Goldsmith closely in the elaboration of his plot, Mr. Coyne, on the contrary, has used the novel rather as materials from which he has con structed a drama that may be almost called original, and be has not scrupled to deviate from his author whenever by so doing he could heighten the dramatic effect. The . cast was a strong one. Mr. Webster's Dr. Primrose was highly effective. He makes of the vicar a warm-hearted, benevolent, rather vigorous old man, and he carried out his conception of the part admi rably. Mrs. Keeley's Mrs. Primrose was a very clever piece of acting; she seemed at first somewhat too young and too petite for the part, but her burst of feeling when she sees Olivia for the first time after her elopement so electrified the house that all felt that they would not have her otherwise than she was for worlds. Such is the magic of genius. Buckstone, although not quite the Moses of Gold smith, was the Moses of Buckstone, which, as far as the stage is concerned, is by far the more amusing of the two. Howe made the most of Ephraim Jen kinson, which in this version is much curtailed; his scampish friend Staggers was well dressed and well acted by Selby; and Stuart as the sentitious Burchell was excellent. His " Fudge" told most effec tively. Lady Blarney and Miss Skeggs were acted admirably by Miss P. Horton and Mrs. Fitzwilliam. Each lady introduced a comic descriptive song, and the latter as the fortune-teller was most amusing. The most humourous scene in the drama is the one in which she tells Moses his fortune, a scene we believe of Mr. Stirling Coyne's own introduction. The suc• cess of the drama was complete, and it was announced for repetition amidst the unanimous applause of a crowded house. YEOVIL.--HIGHW A Y ROBBERY.—On Thursday evening, as Mr. Henry Tomkins, son of Dr. Tomkins, of this town, was returning from Key Farm, about eight o'clock, he was stopped by two men, one of whom asked for his money, which he refused to give; the other struck him over the eye as he was handing them two sovereigns, which he then throw away, being determined that they should not have them by unfair means. The ruffians, hearing some one coming on the road. left him. He returned home, and after wards went with his man servant to look for the money. When just above Brag Church the servant was attacked by two men and two women, who ill-used the man brutally, and afterwards stopped and maltreated. Mr. Tomkins. The women have been apprehended; and it is hoped, therefore, that some clue will be found to tho mien. —Bath Chronicle. FIRE IN FRIDAY -STREET, CHEAIISIDE. -- Last evening, about half-past seven o'clock, a fire, which, but for its opportune discovery and the accidental bursting of a water-pipe, would no doubt have been attended with a loss of several thousand pounds' worth of property, occurred in the well-known and extensive Manchester and shawl ware house belonging to Messrs. John Mair and Sons, carrying on business at No. 60, Friday -street, Cheapside. The flames commenced from some unexplained cause in the basement warehouse,' and when discovered were seizing upon every thing on the ibor, and also feeding upon the wooden wain scot on either side leading to the top floors. By throwing buckets of water upon the front of the basement, the fire was prevented from extending further in that direction, but the heat at the back was so great that a water-pipe wee melted, and there was a copious stream of water discharged from the melted pipe, which fortunately dropped upon the flames.• The damage done was, therefore, with the exception of that occasioned by smoke in the top rooms, cnfined to the basement. The firm was insured in several of the London insurance offices. THE COUNT DE NEutux.—Their Royal High nesses the Count and Countess de Neuilly, the Duke and Duchess de Nemours, and suite, honoured Newhaven with their presence on Wednesday, April 10. Their Royal High nesses arrived at three o'clock, in two carriages, from Brigh ton, and drove to the Bridge Hotel, where they partook of refreshment. The Count de Neuilly expressed himself to Mrs. Smith, of the Bridge Hotel, as being very thankful for the reception and attention paid him by the inhabitants of Newhaven on a former occasion, and remarked that he hoped to have the pleasure of paying them another visit while in the neighbourhood. Their Royal Highnesses remained at the Bridge Hotel for about an hour, and then departed to wards Brighton. ROYAL CONSIGNMENT.—A package has arrived at the port of Southampton, by the steamer Pacha, from Gib raltar, consigned and addressed to his Royal Highness Prince Albert, which contained a valuable picture, and was imme diately forwarded to town, for delivery at its destination. CLEVER MUSICAL CRITICISM,-Our reporter having been dispatched yesterday to distribute the paper among the up-town subscribers, in the absence of the boy, had the im pudence not only to go to the opera without leave, but to furnish the following account of what he heard and saw. N.B. We dismissed him from the office ipso facto :—" The opera was brilliantly attended last evening to hear Bertucca in the role of Lucia. We have but ore fault to find with this inimitable artist—a want of crescendo in the staccato move ments, by which she falls two bars short of her cantabile in the pizzicato notes running from H to L, thereby leaving the allegretto bare and unsupported by her appoggio. Forti and Beneventano, ever great in their respective roles, were only surpassed by the prompter. We have never heard this glorious artist to more advantage; his rough, stentorian notes soaring above all others, kept up the pleasing delusion of a drunken man in the pit, and frequently suggested to you the inhospitable exclamation of ' Turd him out !' * • • Spagnoletti, the other day, in speaking of his first viola player, declared that both as a man and a musician he was praiseworthy—as a man, for the tenor of his conduct, as a musician, for the conduct of his tenor."—New l'erh Christmas Bell. GIVING A PRISONBE THZ BBNErIT OF A DOUBT. —The following scene took place at the Town-hall, Graves end, a e ahort tithe since :—Recorder--Gentlemen of the jury, the prisoner at the bar is indicted for stealing a piece of meat, the property of the prosecutor. You have heard the evidence, and if you have any doubt upon your minds, you must give the prisoner the benefit of such doubt. (Jury turn round in box—much whispering—sagacious nods, with repeated reference to notes—Judge fidgetty front delay— prisoner from fear—jury turn round—silence.) The Town clerk—How say you. gentlemen, "guilty," or " not guilty ?" Foreman—" Guilty;" but we recommend him to mercy. Recorder (surprised)—On what grounds? Foreman—Be cause we don't think he's the man. We don't think there is sufficient evidence of " indentity. Recorder—l told you be fore, gentlemen, that if you have any doubt, y. u must give the prisoner the benefit of the doubt. Foreman—Wen, then, we find him Guilty. ROYAL Fuss HOSPITAL.—At the quarterly meet ing o f th e governors of the Royal Free Hospital, Gray's Inn road, heldin the Board-room, on Wednesday, the 11th inst., the report from the weekly board stated that during the pre vious three months 179 in -patients, and 6,408 out-patients, had been relieved; that by the recent re-opening of one of the wards (which want of funds had some time ago compelled them to close) the board had been enabled to adopt a better classification of patients; and that by the continued benevo lence of the public, they trusted soon to re-open the oth e r closed wards and thus apply an additional fifty beds to the relief of the suffering poor.

The Prussian Staats Anzeiger, under the date Vienna, April 6, gives the following account of this affair : " Complaints having been received from the Roman Catholic clergy that persons of the Protestant communion publicly and audaciously carried on the most menial em ployment on the Roman Catholic holidays, openly slight ing the services of the Church by their contumacious conduct, and likewise treating the priest with such dis respect as not even to take off their hats when they pass him, the Minister of Religious Affairs sent the following reply :—That he deems it right that persons professing the Protestat religion are not bound to honour the festival of any other Church, sad that, consequently, they are at perfect liberty to perform their ordinary work; but that any acts which are openly offensive and occasion disturbance must be put down. The Minister of Religious Affairs, however, thinks It wonld be desirable for Evangelical Christians to abstain from such public ordinary works which openly interfere with the quiet eta holiday, and that in those places espe cially where there is a mixed population, it is very desirable that a good understanding should not be vio lated by any unseemly conduct on either side. The Stadholdership of Upper Silesia, in trans mitting this rescript to the respective pastors, sub joined the following remarks : •• Your Revel dice must be so fully persuaded of the necessity and importance of a good understanding, as well as of the mutual respect due to religious services, that I am convince.' you will do your utmost endeavours at once to put a stop to the discord ehich has arisen be tween two parties professing the Christian religion, il lative to the differeuce of their religious services, and see that a reciprocal respect be paid to Divine worship. I shall send a similar request to the Vicar-General, and desire him, for the attuinment of the object which he has in view, to unite his efforts wita those of the prin cipal inhabitants of every district, who, in case of any it,terruption of the religious services or offered insults to the clergy on tither side, shall , be empowered to in terfere." .;;7k We have r ece i ve d th e P arls j ourna l s o f yesterttay, =•.,:.!. .Y \:,: ~; . /.4 Colonel L'I::PINASSE has presented a proposition l' ) i,i)to the National Assembly which is a directAttattc 44 ___2:, , .'", and contravention of, th e pr i nc i p l e of universal ;ant* -..--)/ frage. the proposes that two years' residence be re, :----' quired of el ec t ors i n t h e commune in which,be-vO4l 4 0 - '7.-.; M.- - w that all persons not in employment, or living Ibikird3l4 be excluded ; that workmen claiming to vote must produce certificates of having been employed a year previously at their respective trades; that all crimi nals, civil and military, be deprived of tbe right of voting ; that the votes of the army and navy be COB* founded with those of civilians, and not published separately ; finally, that all persons entitled to vote must exercise the franchise under pecuniary, penalty ; that no person shall be proclaimed representative who dues not obtain an abolute majority of,, the votes given, and that the vacancies occurring in the Na tionLi Assembly ,hall nut be filled up until ; the num ber of representatives shall he reduced to 700.

The PRESIDENT, on the above report, has appointed General RAMBAUD and M. DUFOUR, sub. military intendant, to the above mission. A domiciliary visit was made a few days since at the residence of a priest of the French church, in the commune of Roches-sur-Rognon (Haute-Marne), and at that of his assistant, and from 600 to 700 balls of different calibre were seized. By order of the authorities the church was closed, and seals affixed on the doors, and judicial proceedings have been corn. menced against the above individuals. • Dispatches received from Mayotte to 11th-Decem ber announce the death of M.

ATAL ACCIDENT AT AV 0113LEY.-011 Friday evening a fatal accident occurred at the colliery belonging to Mr. Nightingale, Worsley. Two men, named El Molineux and John Berry, on leaving work, signalled to be raised to the top of the pit, and they were accordingly hoisted up. When they reached the mouth of the pit, the engineer endeavoured to stop the engine ; but, owing their weight being lighter than the loads usually wound up, the impetus given by the descending basket, and the quick speed at which the engine was going at the time, be was un able to do so. The consequence was that the men were wound up to the head of the gear, when the chain snapped and they were dashed to the bottom of the pit, a depth of 150 yards, and of course both were were killed. On Mon day Mr. Rutter held an inquest on the bodies at Wortley Stocks. From the evidence given it appeared that no blame attached to the engineer, who was a sober map, and had been in the employ of Mr. Nightingale several yea!?
