Every facility for quick despatch of Merchants' weekly Circulars. T PRIESTLEY, CHEMIST, Lord-street, begs particu -0 • larly to call the attention of his Friends and the Public to the undermentioned selection of Preparations. PRIESTLEY'S SEIDLITZ POWDERS. Which approach nearer than anything yet discovered to the Chalybeate Waters of Germany. The style of pre paring PRIESTLEY'S SEIDLITZ POWDERS is peculiar 'to himself, and combines scientific skill with great accu racy ' • and though numbers of people unacquainted with the business, and others, have of late years attempted imita tions, they have invariably been found to be spurious com pounds, neither possessing the agreeable flavour nor the me dicinal properties of the Seidlit: Waters. Sold in Boxes, 2s. each, containing twenty-four Powders, to make one dozen tumbler glasses, and in Tin Cases, 10s. each. The latter are put up in a very eligible form for ex portation, or to use at sea, and will keep any length of time in all climates. ..... THE FLUID EXTRACT OF SARSAPARILLA. In this preparation are concentrated all the Medicinal Pro perties of Sarsaparilla Root. To persons, therefore, who, from various causes, would experience great inconvenience, or with whom it would be utterly impossible to prepare the Compound Decoction, the Fluid Extract, which possesses the advantages of portability and of keeping in any climate, will be found a most desirable mode of employing this much esteemed Medicine. Two teaspoonsful of the Fluid Extract, put into a wine glass full of water, makes a preparation equal in strength to half a pint of the Compound Decoction, formerly prescribed by the London, Edinburgh. and Dublin Pharmaeopceias. The diseases in which it has proved most beneficial arc those of the Skin; such as Scorbutic Affections, Eruptive Diseases, Secondary Symptoms. &c., arising from a diseased state of the system at large. For removing Blotches, Pim ples &n. from the Face, this Medici ne has no superior. The extensive use and high reputation of this preparation has led to numerous imitations, disguised by the name of Syrup, Essences, &c. The whole medicinal virtues of the Sarsaparilla consist in its extractive matter, and it possesses no real property in the form of essence, while the Syrup is injurious to the digestive organs hy causing acid fermentation.

EARSLEY'S ORIGINAL WIDOW WELCH'S IX FEMALE PILLS, so long and justly celebrated for their peculiar virtues, are strongly recommended to the no tice of every lady; having obtained the sanction and appro bation of most Gentlemen of the Medical Profession, as a safe and valuable Medicine in effectually removing obstruc tions, and relieving all other inconveniences to which the female frame is liable, especially those which, at an early period of life, frequently arise from want of exercise and ge neral debility of the system : they create an appetite, correct indigestion, remove giddiness and nervous headache, and are eminently useful in windy disorders, pains in the stomach, shortness of breath, and palpitation of the heart: being per fectly innocent, may be used with safety in all seasons and cli mates. The following is the opinion of Dr. Osborne, an eminent practitioner of Dublin, and Physician to Sir Patrick Dunn's, and the Mercers' Ilospital. In one of his recent lectures, reported in the Dublin Medical Journal, he makes the fol lowing remarks on this Medicine : " THE WIDOW WELCH'S PH.T.s.—These Pills have an extensive sale, and are in high and long-established repute, as an effectual remedy in removing obstructions, &c. in females. One of them was given to a young lady under my care, with the desired effect following on the same night ; and three other cases came to my knowledge, in which similar result followed their use." It is necessary to inform the Public that KEARS LEI"S is the only ORIGINAL and GENUINE MEDI CINE of this description ever made, and has been prepared by them for more than FIFTY YEARS !!

Ido most sincerely believe I should have remained in darkness and pain, but for the kind recommendation of a friend to use your invention. I purchased a 2s. 4d. canister of your Agent, Mr. Wilcock son, Tobacconist, who knows the above to be facts, and will bear witness to my extraordinary recovery of that most esti mable blessing of our life—" perfect sight"—l declare has proceeded from the use of your Eye Snuff. For the sake of those suffering, you may make what use you please of this letter ; Mr. Wilcockson and many others will vouch for its truth. I refer the sufferers to this gentleman, being your Agent, and so well known in Nottingham. I am, sir, your obliged servant, August 28th, 1841. ANNIS ZENIA MASSENIA. Abstract of a Letter from Mrs. L. S. Brewer, Dressmaker. 3, Edge-terrace, Kensington Gravel Pits. " To Mr. Grimstone, Inventor of Eye Snuff. " sth December, 1840. " Sir,—l have been a sufferer for seven years, both eyes being so swollen as to cause blindness. Among the many medical gentlemen who attended me was the famous oculist, Dr. Alexander : indeed, I do believe my case was beyond all their skill. Physic, bleeding, blistering, with a seaton, and all kinds of lotions, but no relief, till chancing one day being led by your house, in 39, Broad-street, Bloomsbury, my guide inquired if I had tried your Eye Snuff, on which I purchased a Is. 3d. canister, opened it in the shop, took some, and was greatly relieved before I reached my home. I can with truth assert, and make oath if required to do so, that it was your Eye Snuff cured me. Shall be happy to answer any inquiry.—l am, sir, yours gratefully, " L. S. BREWER." To Wm. Grimstone, Esq. November G. 1841. Sir, —Having seen your advertisements, I inquired of some of those gentlemen who have derived so much relief from using " your Eye Snuff." I purchased a 2s. 4d. canister for my son, who was suffering so much from the Ilead-ache and Deafness ; before he had used half of it, he was cured,which nabled him to follow his profession.—l am, yours gratefully, M. HACKETT. Mr. Banister, Surgeon, 2, Cross-court, Broad-street. . To W. Grimstone, Esq., 39, Broad-street. " 10th December, 1840. SIR,—I have been afflicted for many years with a severe pain in my head, attended with a dimness of sight and dart ing pains in my eyes, for which I have had the first medical advice ; indeed, I have taken large quantities of medicine, without receiving any relief; but I am now delighted to s a y , with truth, that ever since using your valuable eye snuff, which I have taken copiously, that is, a 2s. 4d. canister weekly, I am quite free from those excruciating pains, and can read the smallest print, although I am in the 67th year of my age. This is my third testimony, and I shall be most happy to give it to you or to any respectable inquirer at my residence as under.—l remain, with gratitude, sir, your obedient humble servant, " E. ROBSON. " 19, Bell-street, Edgeware-road, Marylebone." P.S.—Sir, I should not do justice without stating my relief was almost instantaneous. My Eyes became clear and free from humour, and by persevering in its use very frequently I am enabled to read small print without the aid of glasses, and continue to enjoy God's greatest blessing—Sight ! free from pain. I have reason to be grateful, and do recommend your Eye Snuff to all I know. A. Z. M., Nottingham. The following is one of Don G. Lobe's letters : Harannah, 14th August, 1811. Dear Sir,—l had the pleasure to receive in due time y our friendly correspondence and supply of Eye Snuff on the 15th of August, also the 13th October last year ; however, from my extraordinary increased consumption of your delightful compound of herbs known as Grimstone's Eye Snuff, I take the liberty of asking you to forward by first ship 1500 more cases same as last.

The select committee appointed to inquire into the state of the West India colonies has just made its report. It is ex tremely brief, owing to the ne t ar approach of the parliamentary recess, and the anxiety of the committee not to allow so im portant an inquiry to remain altogether undecided until ano ther session. The following resolutions comprise the result at which the committee have arrived : l.—That the great act of emancipating the slaves in the West Indian colonies has been productive, as regards the character and condition of the negro population, of the most favorable and gratifying results. 2.—That the improvement is the character of the negroes in esery colony in the state of which this committee has had time to extend inquiry, is proved by abundant testimony of an increased and increasing desire for religious and general instruction, a growing disposition to take upon themselves the obligations of marriage, and to fulfil the duties of do mestic life, improved morals, rapid advance in civilization, and increased sense of the value of property and independent station. 3.—That, unhappily, there has occurred, simultaneously with this amendment in the condition of the negroes, a very great diminution in the staple productions of the West In dies, to such an extent as to have caused serious, anti, in some cases, ruinous injuries to the proprietors of estates in those colonies. 4.—That while this distress has been felt to a much less extent in some of the smaller and more populous islands, it has been so great in the larger colonies of Jamaica, British Guinana, and Trinadad, as to have caused many estates, hi therto prosperous and productive, to be cultivated for the last two or three years at considerable loss, and others to be abandoned. s.—That the principal causes of this diminished production and consequent distress, are the great difficulty which has been experienced by the planters in obtaining steady and continuous labour, and the high rate of remuneration which they give for the broken and indifferent work which they are able to procure. G.—That the diminished supply of labour is caused partly by the fact that some of the former slaves have betaken themselves to other occupations more profitable than field labour ; but the more general cause is, that the labOurers are ,enabled to live in comfort and acquire wealth without, for the most part, labouring on the estates of the planters for more than three or four days in a week, and from five to seven hours in a day ; so that they have no sufficient stimulus to perform an adequate amount of work. 7.—That this state of things arises partly from the high wages which the insufficiency of the supply of labour, and their competition with each other, naturally compel the planters to pay; but is princip a lly to be attributed to the easy terms upon which the use of land lias been obtainable by negroes. B.—That many of the former slaves have been enabled to purchase land, and the labourers generally are allowed to occupy provision grounds subject to no rent, or to a very low one; and in these fertile countries, the land they thus hold as owners or occupiers not only yields them an ample supply of food, but in many cases a considerable overplus in money, altogether independent of, and in addition to, the high money wanes which they receive. 9.—That the 'cheapness of land has thus been the main cause of the difficulties which have been experienced ; and that this cheapness is the natural result of the excess of fertile land beyond the wants of the existing population. 10.—That in considering the anxious question of what practical remedies are best calculated to check the increas ing depreciation of West Indian property, it therefore appears that much might be effected by judicious arrangements on the part of the planters themselves, for their own general advantage, and by moderate and prudent changes in the system which they have hitherto adopted. 11.—That one most obvious and desirable mode of endea vouring to compensate for this diminished supply of labour i s to promote the immigration of a fresh labouring popula tion, to such an extent as to create competition for employ ment. _ _ I2.—That for the better attainment of that object, as well as to'securethe full rights and comforts of the immigrants as freemen, it is desirable that such immigration should be con ducted under the authority, inspection, and control of res ponsible public officers. 13.—That it is also a serious question, whether it is not required by a due regard for the just rights and interests of the West Indian proprietors, and the ultimate welfare of the negroes themselves, more especially in consideration of the large addition to the labouring population which it is hoped may soon he effected by immigration, that the laws which regulate the relations between employers and labourers in the different colonies should undergo early and careful revi sion by their respective legislatures. IPSWICH ELECTION.—On Monday the nomination of candidates for this borough took place, and on the following day was the polling, when at the close the numbers were as follow : Gladstone, C Fox, C Thornbury, R 548 Vincent, Chartist The reason why Vincent, the chartist, obtained so many votes was because he was backed by his radical colleague, Mr. Thornbury, who is a man of considerable influence in the borough, and employs a great quantity of men. We state with regret that the discharge of the 200 men from Mr. Smith's quarries, which took place a short time since, has been followed by a reduction in the wages of the labourers to the extent of 3d. a day. from their already very low diurnal wages of 20d. and 2s. We further learn that 10 per cent. has been deducted from the amount of wages earned by his quarrymen and by his workmen on the quay. We are assured by parties thoroughly conversant with the trade, that several hundreds more, both of quarrymen and of labourers, will have of necessity to be discharged before next winter, both from the works of Mr. Pennant and Mr. Srnitle— Carnarvon Herald. EMIGRATION TO THE CANA DAS.—The government agent for emigration has caused a copy of the following notice to be posted at the Dublin Custom-house, as a caution to per sons about to emigrate : " Government Emigration-office, Custom-house, Dublin, Aug. 11, 1842. " The latest advices from New Brutiswicl continue to de scribe the redundancy of labour which still exists; and that, consequently, great distress prevails there. " Persons intending to proceed to that colony are hereby warned, that too many emigrants have arrived there already this season. " J. E. HoDnEn, Government Agent." MARSHALL'S FLAX MILL AT LEEDS.—The following particulars respecting this stupendous building have been furnished by an eye-witness, who was permitted to inspect it a few weeks ago:—The building is 132 yards long, and 72 yards wide (inside measure) —one story, or 20 fact high. The roof consists of 72 brick arches, supported 72 iron pillars of the Corinthian order, and secured together by strong iron work. The brick roof has a thick coating of composition, to prevent the water from coining through, and is covered with hearth, from which has sprung up a beatiful grass close. There are 66 glass domes, 48 feet round, 11 feet 6 inches high, containing 10 tons of glass, all iron window frames. Total weight of roof, 4,000 tons. Cost with the machinery, upwards of £200,000. There are four steam-engines, 100 horse-power each, and two 80 or 85 horse-power each, land one engine 7 horse-power, which does nothing but blow either hot or cold hair into the room. The building covers more than two acres of ground. It is supposed that 80,000 persons might stand in the room, 60,000 upon the roof, and 50,0 00 in the cellar.—Nottingham Review. ANECDOTE OF MAJOR-GENERAL SIR ROBERT SALE.— This gallant and distinguished officer very nearly lost his life at the storming of Ghuznie, or Ghizni, a redoubtable fortress in Affghanistan, as strongly garrisoned as it was fortified. Ghuznie, in short, was a place of great strength and import ance ; and its occupation was considered indispensable to the success of the Affghan war. A force of 12,000 men had already reached it, but was wholly inadequate to batter or invest a fortress of such magnitude, more especially as the artillery-train contained only forty guns, eighteen of which belonged to the horse artillery, and were of very small cali bre. Lord Keane, however, determined that an attempt should be made to storm the place. Accordingly, Sir Robt. Sale was appointed to command the storming brigade, con sisting of four regiments; whilst the gallant and lamented Col. Dennie volunteered to lead the forlorn hope, consist ing of four companies of light infantry. The engineers, under the command of Captain Thompson, a very distin guished officer, having in the silence of night, and without being perceived by the enemy, crossed the causeway, de fended by loopholes, which lead across the wet ditch, suc ceeded in reaching the massive portal of Ghuznie, and piling against it bags of gunpowder, to which was attached a long hose. The garrison, however, bearing a bustle without, and anxious to ascertain, though not suspecting its nature, dis played a large and brilliant blue light upon the rampart im mediately over the gate; but ere they had time to distinguish objects, the hose was fired, the powder exploded, the heavy barrier was shivered to atoms, and the gaping chasm which, its disappearance displayed, was partially tilled with frac tured beams and rafters, and masses of detached masonry. As soon as the bugle sounded, Colonel Dennie and his men rushed into the dark opening, where they found themselves opposed, hand to hand, by the Affghan garrison, who had t e i Still their already recovered from their surprise. Th e y were, however, fighting in the dark, the bayonets of our men being opposed to the Affghan sabres. Colonel Dennie 's little band had t o grope their way between the still standing walls ; a nd the glimmer of the fading blue light, instea d of assistin g them, served only to render their situation more perplexing. their St they groped and fought bravely on.
