No complaints have been made by those who use Middle wood's Oil. His Agents are authorised to engage that his Oil possesses all the properties expressed in his advertise ments. If other Proprietors will do so, it will put a stop not only to spurious counterfeits, but enable the Public to dis tinguish betwixt articles of real utility and the trash the Public are cautioned against.

CAPTAIN PIDDING'S TEAS THE accounts lately received from Macao, f3rought intelli gence of the English having been totally expelled from China, and that hostilities had actually commenced between Her Majesty's forces, directed by her Superintendent in person, and Chinese men of war; in other words, China is at war with England. And the questions upon which the two countries are now at issue being of such difficult adjust ment as to render it almost impossible, and certainly impro bable, that any more teas can be obtaillFdArom China for a very considerable period, a great rise pwau 'descriptions of that article has taken place. Since June last, common black teas have risen Is. 9d., and fine green, 3s. per lb. Fine Hyson, with duty, fetched at the late public sales, 9s. 7d. per lb. ; fine black teas as high as 6s. 7d., whilst up to this mo ment, Captain Pidding has continued to allow his teas to be sold without any advance whatever. The late great rise, however, having caused a run upon his teas by the trade, who found that they could purchase them cheaper retail than they could buy inferior teas wholesale, he is compelled to raise the price, to prevent his remaining stock being purchased by tea dealers. For the prevnt, Captain Pidding's How- QUA'S MixTuitit will be sold at the rate of 6s. 9d. ner lb:, being 9s. the catty, or an advance of only 9d. per lb., when the commonest teas, since June, have advanced ls. 9d. per lb. HON - M1.7,2S SMALL LEAF GUNPOWDEItwiII he sold, for the present, at 9s. 9d. per lb., when even Hyson, an inferior tea, is fetching, wholesale, 9s. 7d. per lb. Half and quarter catties in like proportions. Captain Pidding thinks it right to inform the public that his Chinese correspondent states confidently, that there is no probability of the trade opening with that country, for, at the least, twelve months ; and as the entire stock of consumable tea in Great Britain will be exhausted before that period, there is little doubt but tea will advance daily. These Teas consist of Captain Pidding's HOWQUA'S MIXTURE, of 40 rare Black Teas, and HOWQUA'S SMALL LEAF GUNPO WDER,in Chinese Catty Packages.

It will prevent Diseases of a Scrofulous Nature affecting the Nerves of the Head. In cases of Nervous Head-ache it is completely efficacious, arid gives a Natural Sweetness to the Breath. It may be taken as frequently as other Si(uffs, with the most perfect safety and gratification t o the' consumer. Wash the eyes every morning with warm milk ,and water, to remove whatever secretion may have been pr duced during the night. • Dr. ABERNETHY used it, and termed t the Faculty's Friend and Nurse's Vade Mecum. Dr. ANDREWS also recommends its use as a preventive. (See his report when in Sunderland, published in the Times, Cheltenham Journal, and British Traveller, in Nov. 1831.) He says. " the herbaceous quality of the snuff had such effect on the stomach, as well as the nerves of the head, from the tenacious sympathy of the membrane of the nose with the nervous system, that Grimstone's Eye Snuff, when taken frequently, must prevent any contagion entering the system, and recommends its universal adoption.

From the John Bull, 6th May, 1839.—We copy the fol lowing from the Cheltenham Journal, being struck by its re ference to that eminent and successful oculist, James Ware, Esq., F.R.S., whose opinion touching the subject of which he treats will be read with interest. 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, made 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. " There are, perhaps, -few articles which are so universally used as snuff, and various and innumerable have been the devices to tickle our noses at the expense of our pockets, but there is only one snuff—albeit many have been attempted— which has proved of any value, or indeed realised the inten tion of the consumers. Grimstone'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. " GIUMSTONE'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."—Crown, Auy.26, 1838. " If any testimony were wanting to prove the efficacy of Grimstone's Eye Snuff, we should be most happy to throw ours into the grand scale of demonstrations and proofs already possessed by the inventor. Literary men, and individuals accustomed to Sedentary habits or long reading, will find this snuff invaluable in keeping off headache,-dininess, &c. &c.. —Old Monthly Magazine, September, 1838, p. 336.

The number performed otherwise than by the rights of the established chtirch was 6,451—viz., 5,654 in registrars' offices, 73 between Qtialsers, 160 , between Jews. This return must be highly gratifying, testifying, as it does, the attachment of the great bulk of the population to the national church. We always expected that the Broomstick Marriage Act nould be treated as a dead_ letter by the people of this country.--i'orkshire Gazette. "TILE OVER-PAID CLERGY."—The parish of Llanba darn-vawr, in Cardiganshire, includes the populous town of Aberystwyth, and reaches from the sea to the foot of Plinlim mon, containing several large hamlets, numerous lead mines, and a rapidly increasing population. The Rev. John Hughes, the pious and indefatigable incumbent (called, by courtesy, the vicar,) with the help of two curates, performs in the most exemplary manner the labourious duties of this very exten sive district—he has no share of the tithes, but receives from the lay rector, Sir Bruce Chichester (the newly created ba ronet) TWENTY POUNDS PER ANNUM !—This, with a dwelling-house, three acres of land, and the humble addi tion of Queen Anne's. bounty, is all that this estimable and over-worked minister receives for his unceasing labours ! The lay rector (no doubt an anti-pluralist and church reformer, or the present dispensers of honours would not have made him a baronet) receives upwards of £2OOO a year in tithes from this immense parish. Were he to give only a tithe of this income to him for whom the whole was originally intend ed, it would be but an act of common decency.—Merthyr Guardian. DUEL BETWEEN LIEUT.-COLONEL THE EARL OF CAR DIGAN (11th DRAGOONS), AND LIEUT.-TUCRETT, LATE OF THE SAME CORPS.—In consequence of the Earl of Cardi gan having ascertained that certain letters published recently in the Morning Chronicle, reflecting, as his lordship sup posed, on his character as an officer and a gentleman, were written by Lieut.-Tuckett, late of the same regiment, (the 11th Dragoons, of which his lordship is lieut.-colonel), the noble lord sent him, through Captain Douglas, of the 11th, a challenge. This was of course accepted, and Captain Wainwright, of the half-pay, was the friend selected by Mr. Tuckett to. arrange the preliminaries. An apology was de manded by the noble lord, to which the reply was, that if he would deny the allegations contained in the letters refe-red to, it should be given. Lord Cardigan declared that certain portions of these letters were true, but that the gre a ter part were calumnies. On this the apology was refused, and a meeting was the consequence. It took place on Saturday afternoon on Wimbledon-common. The first shot was inef fectual on both sides ; on the second fire Mr. Tuckett received his adversary's ball in the back part of the lower ribs, which traversed round to the spine. The ball has been extracted, and Mr. Tuckett is doing well, having been pronounced out of danger. A LAMENTABLE ACCIDENT took place at Omagh on Saturday night. It appeared that for some time past the fields of Mr. Robert Holmes, near the old chapel, a s h or t distance from the town, had been greatly trespassed on, the hay torn out of the stack and scattered about, the potatoes dug up and carried away, and the oats and barley greatly trodden down. This being continued night after night, Mr. Holmes, than whom there is not a more respectable or quiet man of hiS station of life in Omagh, at length determined to keep watch himself, and to frighten the first person he found so destroying his 'property by firing over their heads. On the night in question, at about half-past nine o'clock, while he was keeping watch, he heard a noise at some distance from where hehad stationed himself and discharged his gun, loaded with shot, in that direction. It unfortunately happened that the persons were much nearer than Mr. Holmes suspected, standing up in the shelter of a stock of barley, by which they were kept out of sight. The shot took effect on both (f, Jere were only two persons), a man and a woman—the for mer a person passing ,by the name of Krasicki, a Polish Count, and Professor of Phrenolo—the latter a fine-look but unfortunate girl, name d Eliza Young. The girl received 18 grains of the shot in and about the lei* side of the head; the Count narrowly escaped, having received only two grains in the right cheek. He was standing with his arm round the girl, who uttered the words " I am killed," and fell never to speak again. Mr. Holmes, finding what had occurred, im mediately called assistance, had the g irl carried td the road, and ran and b roug h t me di cal aid, but to no purpose. She died a few minutes after being conveyed to the infirmary. Mr. Holmes at once gave himself up to the sub-inspector of police, Mr. J. H. Ridge (affording the only evidence against himself,) and was lodged in gaol. An inquest was held in the Court-house on Monday. Verdict—" That deceased came by her death from a gun-shot wound, and that the gun was discharged by Robert Holmes."—Derry paper. CHURCH PASTORAL AID SOCIETY. — We are gratified to learn that the annual report for 1840, which is now in course of publication, contains a satisfactory and encouraging ac count of the proceedings and progres! of the society, The crease of £5,753 2s. 3d. upon the year preceding. The Bishop of Peterborough and the Bishop of Sodor and Man have added their names to the list of vice-patrons. 37 new asso ciations have been formed, and 22 clergymen have kindly of fered their services as corresponding members, several of whom have entered into au engagement with the committee to afford the society the benefit of a certain portion of their time and exertions to plead its cause and otherwise nrnmn,. • --- ...., pi uu l o G e its interests. During the past official year the society h as made grants to 76 incumbents in charge of 534,800 souls, in order to provide stipends for 97 clergymen and 9 lay assist ants, at a charge, When all the appointments shall be made by the incumbents, of X 8,612 per annum, besides 9 grants, i amounting n . the whole to £470, tow ar d s t h e building, pur chase,.or fitting up nine chap e l s or rooms to be licensed for public worship, in places where local resources for these pur poses were exhausted. The existing grants of this society are in aid of 270 incumbents, having under their direct ministe rial care an aggregate population of 1,994,913, or each, on an average, the charge of 7,388 souls ; whilst the average amount of their incomes is only £161; and 134 of these incumbents are without parsonage-houses.

EXPERIMENTAL OPENING OF THE CHESTER AND BIRKENHEAD RAILWAY. A number of the directors of this line, proceeded, on Thursday last, from Warrington, where several of their en gines and carriages were in w a iti ng ,—t o Crewe, where they were entertained- at a sumpt uous co ll at i on by he mayor of Chester, and other directors of the Chester and Crewe Rail way. They afterwards proceeded along the Crewe line to Chester, where they were received with great enthusiasm by s large concourse of spectators. On the following day, (Friday), the directors and their friends started from Chester; on the Birkenhead line, with a train of five engines and ten carriages, at a gentle speed, and arrived at their destination without accident, soon after twelve. At Crewe, they were joined by Mr. George Stephenson, the engineer of the first great railway (the. Manchester and Liverpool), and of many subsequent lines and works of magnitude. We need scarcely say that the greeting between him and his brother engineer, Mr. Dixon, of the Birkenhead line, and of the gentlemen present, most of whom knew him, was most cordial. On Saturday, a trip was made still more gratifyipg, if possible, inasmuch as it embraced the journey in the new line only from Birkenhead to Chester and back. On the previous day, the arrival of the trains not being generally anticipated by the now populous town of Birkenhead, the interest excited was comparatively small. A number of fines new engines and carriages were now, however, collected for the first time at the Birkenhead station, and the neighbour.. h od consequently became on the qui vire. Towards the hour appointed for starting a large number of persons of all ages and conditions, collected on the vacant ground of the company opposite the station ;—at the top o , Abbey-street, which was decorated with flags, many ladle I were on the ground, to witness the departure of the first large train from the terminus, towards Chester. The gen tlemen included the directors, the engineer, Mr. Dixon, the treasurer, Mr. James, Mr. Yarrow, nephew of Mr. Dixon, (the assistant-engineer), and a large number of friends from Liverpool, Birkenhead and Chester. There were several new engines on the ground. but one of them only, the Wirral!, built by Messrs. Charles Taylor and Co., of this town, was attached to the train, which was a mixed one. The second class carriages were very neat and commodious, and bore the name of the makers, 6. . R. Melling and Son, Green Hayes, Manchester : a new and approved plan of a break is introduced. The two first class carriages were truly splendid vehicles, handsomely painted and varnished, and combining extraordinary neatness and strength, with several improvements in construction, amongst which may be con sidered their being hung from the springs on strong leather. The manner in which these carriages are finished, both exteriorly and interiorly, excited the approbation of all who inspected them, and is equally creditable to the builders and to the company under whose directions they were' built, by Mr. Truss, of Chester. Great anxiety was evinced by many of the bye-standers to obtain a ride to Chester and back, on the proposed pleasure trip, fur which, of course, there was no charge ; and several of the open carriages were soon filled. Those who had thus taken their places were, how ever, informed that the operative engineers and workmen connected with the line should be admitted, end that if beyond these, room could be found for strangers„ they must find their way back from Chester on foot, as others of those employed at the works would have to be brought from Chester by the train on its return. This was a damper to the aspirants to a cheap jaunt, and most of them dis mounted with rueful countenances, amidst the laughter of the byestanders. The whole of those who were to proceed having taken their places, the train started at about ten minutes past one o'clock, at a moderate pace, amidst the loud cheers of the populace. Mr. Dixon, the engineer of the lire, and Mr. Yarrow, had both taken their places on the engine, with a view to greater security,—a precaution which is highly commendable in all new lines. As the train proceeded, the inhabitants of Lower Tranmere, and of every hamlet, house, or cottage, whence a view could be obtained, made their appearance at doors or windows, or on the several bridges, all equally enthusiastic in their demonstration of delight at witnessing, most of theta for the first time, the rapid and, to them, fearful movement of the train. The entire length of the line is, as nearly as can be stated in round numbers, 141 miles, and the gradients are easy, none of them exceeding 1 in 330. The country through which it passes is generally interesting and often picturesque, though not populous except at either terminus. It leaves the village and Church of Brombro' on the right, in proceeding to Chester, and those of Eastbani on the left. From the first or Tranmere embankment a fine view is obtained of the Mer sey and the Lancashire shore. The Brombro' valley, crossed by a high embankment and culvert, points a romantic scene. and beyond it the Alostyn valley, still more extensive and picturesque, is spanned by a lofty mound and a fine viaduct of eleven arches, under one of which, 68 feet below the level of the railway, is the Chester and Ellesmere canal, and under another a considerable brook. The centre arch (over the canal) is 45 feet in span, and is of the skew form. The others are of equal height, but of smaller span. Here the country is finely wooded, and continues to open out to great extent, co vered with seats and farm-houses, and bounded on the west by sloping land of Wales, backed by the range of mountains of which Mod Fannan stands pre-eminent. The line crosses the high road from Chester to Liverpool by a bridge, a little to the north of the Lunatic Asylum, which last forms a fine object in the landscape. The tower of Chester Cathedral and that of St. John's Church are now at hand, and in a few minutes the traveller, if on his way to " the ancient city," is set down at the station at the east end of Brook-street, where it is immediately joined by the Chester and Crewe line. The rails are here on a level with the street, which will be carried over a bridge of three arches, already in a forward state, a little to the north of its present site. Here the offices, &c., requisite for the station are also approaching to completion. We should add that the greater portions of cuttings are over the central part of the line, and many of them were of heavy amount. The whole, however, as well as the embank ment and bridge work, have been accomplished in a very substantial and workmanlike manner, and all the slopes will in a short time be strongly consolidated by herbage. On this first occasion, it was the wish of the directors to proceed along the line with caution, lest any accident might arise from parties, at the different crossings being prompted by curiosity to come upon the line. To make security dou bly sure, the steam-whistle was sounded on approaching every point where the slightest danger could possibly be ap prehended, and the speed was at the same time reduced. Stoppages were also necessarily made at several of the sta tions, to take up or set down parties interested. The jour ney was finally performed to Chester in fifty minutes ; but it will doubtless, when opened to' the public, be accomplished .ir half an hour, or.,even. less--. The ,speed occasionally at tained appeared to be about thirty miles an hour. The greater number of the fields on each side of the line are laid out in pasture ; and the cattle, horses, and sheep, " all unused to the rail-ing mood," on see i ng the train and hearing it thun dering along, flew off at tangents, in great alarm. Some of the husbandmen lost their teams, and others had much diffi culty in restraining them ; but no accident occurred. On arriving at Chester, the directors and their friends visited the town, and afterwards re t urne d t o th e stat i on, whence they started on their homeward voyage at about a quarter past three o'clock, accompanied by several of the di rectors of the Crewe Railway, whose guests they had been on Thursday. The first p ar t o f th e road from Brook-street was crowded with spectators, and a very slow speed became re quisite, the engine drawing the train being now the Zillah, built by our townsmen, Messrs. Mather, Dixon, & Co. The trip was exceedingly pleasing, but, owing to the circumstances before stated, the same time was occupied in the return trip —namely, 50 minutes to the station at Birkenhead. The train was loudly greeted at all the fine bridges on the line, and at every other point where the few or the many who domicile in the neighbourhood could obtain a view of it. At At Birkenhead the crowd was great, and appeared to be much gratified with the result of the day's experiment. About five o'clock the directors and their friends of this town, Birkenhead, Chester, Crewe, &c., sat down to an ex cellent dinner at Mr. Hillier's, the Monks' Ferry Hotel. Amongst these present were William Dixon, Esq. ' in the chair, Mr. Claxton, vice -chai r , th e R ev. James Main waring, Mr. Joseph 'Wallaby, clerk of the company, Mr. Christopher Bentham, Mr. John Dixon, engineer, Mr: John Jackson, Mr. Murray Gladstone, Mr. H. Crackenthorpe, Mr. William Ravenscroft, Mr. Worrell, banker of Chester, Mr. White of Sutton Hall, Mr. Follett and others. We need scarcely add that the evening was passed in a most agreeable manner ; that success was drunk to the Birkenhead and Chester Railway; and that the parties separated highly delighted with the_ proceedings of the day. Tile railway will, we learn, be opened for passengers and traffic on Monday next, when also—an arrangement having been come to with Mr. Price, lord of the manor of Birken head—the Monks' Ferry will again be thrown open to the public. maimmiMmmip....ii,..., a Mr. Brown, an aeronaut, asc en d e d i n hi s balloon from the gas works, Ashton-under-Lyne, on Monday, and alighted about rive miles from the town.

MACRETH.—On Sunday forenoon, Mr. Maereth (who is quite recovered from the late horrible attempt upon his life) attended divine service in the parish church of St. Lawrence, Ludlow, and, through the minister, offered thanks to God for his preservation and recovery. When the Rev. Mr. Arrowsmith (who o ffi c i ated in the absence of the Rev. A. 0. Johues, the rector) pronounced his name, all eves Were bent upon him, and he appeared a good deal agitated, but soon recovered his self-possession. He has been paid much attention in Ludlow, and his amiable disposition, gentlemanly demeanor, and companionable habits, have made him a ge neral favourite there. He left Ludlow yesterday by the Worcester mail, and from Worcester, through Cheltenham, to Bristol.—Salopian Journal. The postmaster at Exeter has received notice that the mails for Egypt and the East Indies will leave Falmouth in Govern ment steamers on the second day of every calendar month.— Exeter Times. The following cause has been given for the late fatal acci• dent on the Eastern Counties Railway. One of the stokers frightened at the • 1...-..1 velocit or the enine, put ciown e otne upon the propelling wheel g without the knowledgf the break en gineer, or without putting off the steam from the piston ; this caused, the engine to jump, and ultimately to jerk off the rails, and hence the fearful mischief that arose.—Chelynsford Chronicle. DECLINE OF SOCIALISM.—In consequence of the great decline which has taken place in the number of Socialist wor shippers since the recent exposures of the ininnifi.. Mal system in Leeds, it has been announced that in future the morning lectures at the Saloon in South-Parade, Leeds, will be discontinued. DREADFUL ACCIDENT ON THE NORTH MIDLAND RAIL WAY.—CHESTERFIELD, SEPTEMBER 14.—A terrific acci dent took place on the North Midland-railway on Sunday last. The train which v leaves Chesterfield ra- 11 got as far as Linn-- tree of one of the carriag,_ treme badness of the iron it was made of. Seven carrta o; were precipitated off the rails, and all in them more or less injured. One gentleman, a foreigner, was killed on the spot, and was sleeping when the catastrophe occurred. His body was seen on the rails, and a carriage was on his back. He had wit'u him some game, and plenty of cash on his person, besides a valuable pocket-book. He is supposed to have been shooting in the north—have not yet heard his name. The guard, a remarkably fine-looking man, was precipitated down an embankment seven yards deep, where he lay for dead ; he was taken up breathing, but died last night. Ano ther person, (name unknown) is so seriously injured that he is not expected to recover. A respectable young woman had her collar -bone broken, and her brother had so contused an arm that the surgeon says it must be amputated. An aged female, of Chesterfield, was so injured as not to be likely to recover. She has no bones broken, but a dreadful internal hemorrhage. It would be difficult to enumerate all the broken limbs and severe contusions-vitheys are so lAtnerous. `Mr. Srephengon was himself a pa'ss6gVe, but eScap6cl unhurt. .P, on its way to Derby, when the axle suddenly broke, through the ex LIVERPOOL DISPENSARIES A GENERAL MEETING of the GOVERNORS of Li this Institution will be holden, in the Boaan-uopm, Parish Office, No. 1, Fenwick-street, on Wednesday, the 23d instant, between the hours of Eleven and Three o'Clock. p , for the purpose of Electing an HONG RY PH YSICIAN to the NORTH DISPENSARY, whi ffice is now vacant by the resignation of Dr. Mackensie.
