SCHWEPPE'S SODA WATER and LEMO
NADE.
J. S and Co. beg respectfully to caution the Nobility, Gentry, aid
Publie in general, against an impositioa frequently practised by whet'
Makers, who make use of " zchweppe's Bottles," in order to pass offtheir
own spurious Composition as " Schweppes Manufacture." None is se_
twine without a Red Label over the ork, representing their Signature,
to imitate which is felony.
The superiority of their manufacture, which is made on a rrinciule
peculiar to them,elsos, is universally admitted; and the experhanoe- of
half a century, aided by groat improvements in their machinery, they
hope will justly entitler them to the continued patronage of the public.

Original Letters at 39, Broad-street, Bloomsbury.
To Mr. Grimstone, Broad.street, Bloomsbury.
Ophthalmic Hospital, ChatiChafing-Crone.Sia,—Poreeiving that in one of your bills my name is mentioned in
union with that of my late patient Mr. t atchfield, I beg leave to confirmhis testimony, and state the great benefit derived by the use of your ex-
cellent herbaceous eye.snutf in his case, which was one of obstinate
chronic ephthalmia, accompanied by opacity of the cornea, and a varicose
state of the conjunetional vessels. Ilia ease was the first under my
notice in-which the preparation was used; but, being struck by the ad-
vantageous results, I resolved to lay aside prejudices, and advise its use in
some eases in my practice at this hospital. The benefit was great, and has
led me still lurther to recommend it, but, unfortunately, the funds of the
tospital are Isw, and our patients too often eannot afford the purchase of
your snuff, it being, from its price, almost as unattainable to the poor as
patent medicine would-be. If it be not asking too mucky sould you feria
any arrangement by which the really indigent patients of this institution
could be supplied with the eyo.snuff at g, lower price, on producing a re-
commendation to that effect, signed by me. If yen could, I would ask
you to be so kind a+ to write to inn here on the subject ; in doing so you
wont :4 perform a great act of charity, and the obligation would be felt, not
only by the poor whous you would relieve, but by your obedient servant,
J. G. GUTHRIE.
Mr. Grioastoric has complied with the above humane request of Dr.
Guthrie

Whitehall, March 8, 153‘4.
SIR —I think it but justice that I should offer my acknowledgments
to you for the great benefit I have derived from the use of your
in•st exquisite fragrant compound of herbs, called Eye Snuff: Its
action on the membrane of the nose causing the lachrymal glands to
discharge in a manner truly surprising, and by that means so cleansrd
the cornea, that my Eyes became healthy, stmg, and performed their
wanted duties in a manner that 1 have not knoorn the blessing of for
six years. The renowned Dr. Guthrie recotnmended ree to tty your
Eye Snuff, prior to my undergoing an operation. Many thanks to him
for his recommendation; thanks to your invention, that operation will
not be necessary Sir, you have my permission to make this known in
any manner you think best. I am, Sir, your obedient servai.t.

USE OF CONTRACTS.—What will be thought
when I mention that in this store I saw almost everything ex-
cept pianofortes. There were clocks, turning lathes which
cost ninety guineas each, planes worth several guineas apiece,
miners' tools and other implements of which no one in the co-
lony knew even the name, much less the use; also black chip
bonnets for the negresses ; black gaiters for Massa Quacco,
and a couple of hundred porter pots. In short, of articles of
no earthly service to the Africans there were here thousands of
pounds' worth rotting in store ; and still more are sent out,
because, I suppose, some one has a contract at home to furnish
these stores, whilst coarse cloth, cottons, and a few simple
tools are all that are required to supply the wants of the Afri-
cans on their allotments. So at St. Helena, some years ago,
iron trucks were sent out nnnually for the guns, because some-
body had a contract 1 It was represented that they were not
required ; but still they were sent out, and they were therefore
handed over to the settlers to make rollers with.—Captain
Alexander's Africa.

An architect of Clifton has invented an " Aero-
naut " upon a novel principle, Navin? the advantage of hori-
zontal propulsion, which gives a velocity of 50 or 60 fillies
per hour 1 The invention hat been suLmitted to Government
for military purposes, and might be eminently useful for many
other objects.. Its form is simple and imposing, the dimen-
sions rather exceeding the great Nassau Balloon. The ap-
peaiance altogether is grand and beautiful—the estimated
cost about I,2ool.—Bristol Mirror.
