The discovery of Mr. Grimstone is simple, gentle, and certain, and by its unfailing influence on the nervous fabric of the head, possesses the un questionable power of relieving, assisting, and prolonging the sight even'to extreme old age.—Editor. Cheltenham Journal, 22d April, 1839.—" That most emi nent oculist, James Ware, Esq., F.R.S., was so strongly im pressed with the utility of snuff not made of tobacco, that in the third volume of the Medical Society's Works, page 334, this able oculist read several cases of gutta serena cured by the plentiful use of snuff. This snuff was made without the aid of tobacco, that being too great a narcotic to be used as a remedy; The anticipations of this gentlemen have been fully realised by Mr. William Grimstone, the Inventor of Eye Snuff, wade from aromatic herbs, so judiciously ar ranged as in almost every case of disease touching the eye, ear, and the delicate organs of the head, to produce a certain cure."—Editor.

Grimitone's Eye Snuff is a delightful and fragrant compound, and possesses properties peculiarly its own ; for, unlike all other snuffs, it is really of essential and important service to persons of studious habits, and of weak and infirm sight ; and if we may judge by the numerous medical gentlemen who have borne testimony to its merits, and the many well authenticated cures it has performed, it is not undeserving of the high esteem which it has already attained, not only in this but in other countries."—Old Eng land, 11th January, 1840. "We should be glad to see this snuff in general use. It is a safe and powerful restorative.—Manchester Chronicle. " GRIMSTONE'S EYE SNUFF. — Notwithstanding the sys tem of puffing which is carried on in this vast metropolis, we rsally must claim for Mr. Grimstone the distinction of being a benefactor to his species. We have had ocular demonstra tion of the value of his snuff, which we tried out of curiosity, having at the same time a slight affection of opthalmia, which the use of the snuff very speedily removed. We therefore cordially recommend it to the public. ' P—Crown, Aug. 26,1838.

We have rece i ved files of the Sydney Gazette and of the S ydney Commercial J ourna l to t h e 28th of April, inclusive from which we make the following extracts : SHIPS IN HARBOUR.—There are sixty vessels ' Cove at present. Of which ten are ships, forty barqt. *-teen brigs, and five schooners. The full amount of an amounts to about 21,000 tons, making an - -e each.—Sydney GazettP n Spin, runLic nousEs.—The number of public houses licensed in Sydney on the last licensing day weretwo hundred and twenty-five ! Considering the population of Sydney, we have no hesitation in saying that such a number is unparalleled in the world.—lbid. FLOU R.—A gentleman intimately connected with South Australia, and who has taken some trouble to make himself acquainted with the statistics of that settlement, informs us that for the current year it will require -150 tons of flour HE, nntb to ha _ 111WILII w ue importea into the colony to feed the population there ; and unless some large importations of grain front India arrive, which are not expected in consequence of wheat being very high in price at the Cape, flour wilt be dearer than it has yet been : its present price, according to the latest accounts from thence. is £io net. tnn rnmercial April 25. THE BarrANNtA.—Capt. Moore, of the revenue curt Prince George, arrived at Williams' Town on Friday la having several weeks ago been despatched by thr: vernment a second time in search of the crew of the Britannia. Capt. Moore found the long boat on the b, near Cape Howe, about 25 miles to the southward of Tw, fold Bay, as had been represented by the natives, and he is of opinion, from the 'position he found her in, that she had been beached by some of the crew or passengers. The boat was entirely empty. From several suspicious circumstances, Capt. Moore is of opinion that our ill-fated countrymen who landed in the boat, must have been murdered by the natives. One strong fact in favour of this opinion is, that on all for mer occasions when Capt. Moore visited Twofold Bay, the natives were very friendly, but on this occasion, immediately the cutter anchored, th ey a ll o f t h em ran away i nto the bush, and remained there until the vessel set sail, Capt. Moore, after leaving Twofold Bay, was obliged to put back, when the natives behaved in a similar manner. They were seen, shortly after the loss of the Britannia, to have several stripe s o f a white man' s s hi r t divided amongst them. It is very evident, from the boat having been found 'on the beach above high water mark, that some, if - not all of the crew and passengers, landed safely from the wreck, to meet, we fear, a more cruel death. Captain Moore tells us that he visited Presewaller Island since the Vansittart was there, and that he found the mainmast of the unfortunate Brittomart.—/bid. VAN DIEMAN'S LAND.—His Excellency Sir John Frank lin. and suite will leave Launceston ott the 11th or 13th of this month, on their return to town. The party at Govern ment Cattail:lt on Wednesday esenjug last was most nutneis i rously attended.' Captain-Parker, at present Aide-de-Camp to his Excellenej, will not leave for Sydney until after the ensuing royal birthday,:—Hobart Thum Advertiver, April 3. llis Excellency has received a despatch from the Right Honourable the Secretary of State, acknowledging the re ceipt of the petition from the northern public meeting on the subject of the proposed 'discontinuance of the assignment of convicts to domestic service. His lordship fully approves of the reply made by the local government, and says :--" You have very properly pointed out the distinction between the ends of punishment and those of colonization, A distinction • kept in view by Sydney ec Iciently the remOintrants ENORMOUS SHEEP..-14r. Edmund Bryant, of Kingston, lately weighed alive five sheep of the improved Leicester breed, and their joint weight was 1305 lbs., the largest of which Weighed 280 lbS. We think that these are the largest breed in this or any of the adjoining colonies.—lbid. THE WEATHER.—Rain is much wanted in the country to enable the agriculturists to carry on their farming operations, although in some districts pasturage is much more plentiful than in former seasons. The farmers are now pretty gene rally engaged in thrashing out their grain, and in ploughing and sowing the upper lands. The settlers are very loth to sell their wheat at the present prices, as a rise appears to be generally expected by them .--Launceston Advertiser, April 9. HOBART TOWN MARKETS.—Wheat, 12s. to 13s. per bushel ; oats, 6s. 6d. to 7s. ditto ; English barley, Os. to Os. €d. ditto; Cape ditto, 7s. to 7s. 6d. ditto; bay, 4;6 to £6 10s. per ton ; potatoes, .£7 to £7 10s. ditto ; onions, 15s. to 16a. per cwt. ; apples, Bs. to 16s. per bushel; she•oak, 14s. per ton ; Port Arthur coals, 14s. ditto.—Tasmanian Despatch, April 10. PORT PHILLIP. UNION WITH SOUTH AUSTRALIA.—WC are informed upon good authority that a project is on foot carrying with it the influence of the South Australian Colonization Commis sioners, for effecting an union betwee►► Port Phillip and South Australia, and forming of the two a colony, altogether inde pendent of New South Wales, under tl - the colony of Australia Felix denomination of WATER. —Disease, is more prevalent in Melbourne at the present period than it' ever was on any occasion since the formation of the settlement. In the opinion of the medical men of th• town the existence of this disease is attributable almost solely to the use of brackish water. THE BLACKS. —There are accounts in town of fresh out rages committed by the blacks on the settlers at Portland Bay. One gentleman has lost a considerable number of sheep, which have either been separated or driven off by the VEGETABLZS.—We have-seen a quantity of turnips grown on a small farm on the estate of Dr. M'Crae, on the Moonee Moonee ponds, about three miles from Melbourne, which speak well for th e f er tili ty o f P ort Phillip. The farm on which the turnips were grown was let only eight weeks ago to its present tenant, and during that time it has been fenced in, brought into cultivation, and the turnips of which we saw so fine a specimen, raised upon it. The turnip is of the kind called the Aberdeen yellow, a species of garden turnip, whiCh has scarcely ever been known to succeed in England, and it has already attained to a size which we have rarely seen equalled at home. The most remarkable fact, however, is, that from the time the seed was sown until the turnip was pulled not a drop.of rain fell, and as the land is not by any means of a moist description, we can only attribute the growth of the turnips (extraordinary under such circum stances) to some principle in the soil peculiarly retentive of e,. .When such is the success which attends garden .;rations in this cliinate, even in the driest seasons, we may soon hope to see Melbourne surrounded by orchards and fruit gardens.--Port Phillip Herald, April 21. moisture STATE OF TRADE MANCRESTKR.-Our market yesterday was in pretty nearly the same state as on the preceding Tuesday, —a fair amount of business being done, though at very moderate prices. The lower counts and interior qualities of yarn are in good demand, and sell freely at previous rates ; while su perior qualities of 40's are worse to sell, and in some cases a slight reduction has been submitted to. In the goods mar ket there is an improved demand for very light and thin cali coes ; but other articles remain without alteration. ROCHDALE FLANNEL MARKET, MONDAY, AUG. 24.--- We have had a decided improvement in the demand for flan nels to-day, and considerably more business has been done ; but there is no material advance in the prices. There is ano ther failure this week of a small manufacturer, and, as usual, the chief sufferers are the woolstaplers. The wool market is much the same as that of last Monday. HUDDERSFIELD MARKET, TUESDAY, AUG. 25.—There is little or no change to note in the state of this market this week, unless it be that there was not that appearance of ac tivity which has obtained for some weeks of late. Perhaps this may be accounted for on the ground that great caution' marks the conduct of the manufacturers, who are mostly working to order; so that very few new goods are now brought into the market. Prices remain steady, unless it be a partial rise in some sorts of wools. In the warehouses, a fair business is doing ; but in no department of trade is there any cause for exultation. Middle and low-priced plain and fancy woollens are most in request ; and in light fancy goods the demand is pretty good • but in superfine there is littl e doing.—Mancheste r Guardian. LEICESTER.—There has been more demand for goods dur- ing the past week, and some considerable sales have been made. There is more doing in wool, and the aspect of the market is improved. In worsted no alteration in price, but there is a better demand, and the opinion is now general that wools and yarns have seen their lowest for the present.— Leicester Chronicle. The thermometer at Quebec, towards the close of last month, ranged from 86 to 90. COMMERCIAL BANK OF ENGLAN D . that there is no foundation whatever fo r th e stat ement sure which has appeared in some of the London papers, that the direc tors of this bank had commenced legal proceedings against a great number of its customers. The truth is, that the cases in which it has, been necessary to call in the assistance of the law have been hitherto remarkably few ; nor has any difficulty or delay been experienced, except such as are inst.- parable from the sudden termination of an extensive busi ness, and the unexpected calling-in of advances, upon the continuance of which the parties had every reason to depend. —Manchester Guardian. :We are PENRITH.--STOPPAGE OF THE NEW RANK.—It iS said that the liabilities of the new bank at Penrith, under the firm of Messrs. Atkinson, Craig, and Ladiman, which stopped payment on Wednesday week, exceed £50,000. The conster nation produced in the neighbourhood of Penrith and Tern plesay.rerby is very great. Messrs. Atkinson and Craig reside at Templesowerbv ; the latter of them is out of they way.— The well-known ale-brewery at Appleby, which has been carried on for many years under the name of Craig and Co., and under the successful management of Mr. M. Harrison, has stopped p a y men t a l so. RAPID PRACTICABLE COHMUNICATION BETWIXT LON DON AND INVERNESS.—The railway time betwixt London and Liverpool is . 9 hours. The F ire - King,steamer, last year, made the • trip from Liverpool to Glasgow, which, by the windings of the Clyde, is as long as from Liverpool to ()ban, in 15 hours. At the same rate, 3 hours more would bring the Fire- King to Fort W i lli am. An ordinary mail coach of the first class, at 10 miles an hour, would come in 0 hours from Fort William to Inverness—in all 33 hours from Lon don to Inverness, and 24 hours from Liverpool to Inverness. —lnverness Herald. • EDINBURGH—ORSTITHOLOOICAL NOVELTY.—The storks belonging to the Zoological Gardens being allowed the full liberty of their pinions, may be seen taking their daily flights over the town and suburbs, and returning daily to their haunts in the grounds. The appearance of these strangers in the air, with their wings, which measure four feet in length, fully spread out, their short body and long slender legs, is very striking. They must fly to a considerable distance, as they are occasionally absent for hours together, and in their aerial excursions soar to a great height. We hope there is no person c a p a bl e of arresting, " with murderous engine," the daily exercises of these interesting birds. B RIDGEWATER.—ANTIQUITIES.—A few days since, as workmen were cutting peat in the Edington turbary, they, at about three feet beneath the surface, discovered a deposit of British antiquities, consisting of s;x celts, five knives, two torques, one arniilla, one fibula, two rings, and a few other pieces, the uses of which do not appear. These antiquities are of brass, and in the best possible state of preservation. The celts are of the usual form, but vary in size ; the torques are wreathed ; the armilla and fibula fluted and slightly orna mented; the knives (if knives they are) were flit on the un der surface, but ribbed on the upper, to give them additional strength. The box in which these antiquities were enclosed was formed out of a solid piece of wood : it fell to pieces on exposure to the air. Spear heads, swords, and celts are often found in these bogs, but there is no instance of any number of such curiosities being until now met with together. THE MURDER OF LORD WILLIAM RUSSELL—DISTRI BUTION OF THE REWA.RDS.—It will be remembered that, soon after the discovery of the murder of Lord Wm. Russell, a government reward of £2OO was offered for the apprehen sion of the perpetrator or perpetrators of the diabolical deed. The matter has at length been considered by the Lords of the Treasury., and it is now determined upon that the distri bution of the promised bounty shall be awarded as follows : Inspector Pearce, of the A division, £5O; Inspector Beres ford , of the C division, £3O ; Inspector Tedman, of the D division, £3O; Sarah Mancer, the housemaid of the lamented nobleman, £l5 ; and Mary Hormel', the cook, £5. The re maining £7O will be -divided equally amongst the constables who assisted in the case ; and Ellis, late valet to the ill-fated lord, but now in the service of Lord Mansfield. The per sons last alluded to were seven in number, and will, conse quently, receive £lO each. The above sums will in the coarse of a few days be paid to the several parties named, and it is understood thst the additional reward of £2OO offered by the late lord's relatives, will be dealt out in the same proportions as the reward on the part of the government: -oat- Itt in that acOgi wet. sime offsl, Kid pton, ,epet nber- ocers 12.
