" We earnestly recommend the cases related by Dr. Courtenay
to the perusal of such of our readers as are afflicted with the com-
plaints which the author has made the subject of these observations.
Several instances are adduced of the recovery of perfect healil

nent talents and very extensive experience. We enterta.;n the
highest opinion of Dr. Courtenay's professional skill, and congra-
tulate him on his successful and judicious application to these

QIGHT RESTORED.—NERVOUS 'HEAD-
k3 ACHE CURED.—This discovery has proved itself of the
greatest importance to the public. The numerous testimonials the
inventor has received during the last twenty years, from families and
editors of the first respectability, proving the truth of this infallible
restorative, all of whom may be applied to, who have been relieved
from cataract, gut.ta serena, opthalmia, and inflammations, all dis-
eases of the eyes and head having been completely eradicated, glasses
left off after twenty years' use, and the person rendered imperviou
to contagion by the frequent use of this delightful compound of the
most wholesome, choice, aromatic, and odoriferous herbs. It is re-
commended by occulists and medical practitioners for its many vir-
tues. The high patronage and character it has attained, is a testi-
monial beyond suspicion. To prevent imposition, ask for GRIM..
STONE'S EYE SNUFF, manufactured by the inventor, No. 39,

London,

COPY OP A LBTTEII. sent to Mr. Grimstone, 39, troad-
street, Bloomsbury .—" Dear Sir,—You may make use of my name,
for a true fact, in taking your Eye Snuff. I have received such
great benefit, that I can see to write without glasses, which I could
not do before I took your Eye Snuff, my eyes being so very weak;
they are now perfectly strong! Many of my poor aged men and
women would purchase it in preference to other snuff, but they
cannot afford sixpence per ounce or buy it in the cannister. I re.
main, Sir,

Sight restored."

OBSERVATIONS of the Editor of the " Old England,'
Sept. 22, 1833;—" EYE SNUFF.—This is really an extraordinary
preparation. Of what it is compounded we know not ; but this we
know, that it is wonderfully efficacious,
reliettins headache and
purging the eyes of injurious humours, especially if they are of a
scrofulous nature. It is also an extremely complaisant companion
when toiling over musty books or writings, and tends most power-
fully to enable the eye to perform, without fail, an unusual quantity
of labour."

OBSERVATIONS of the Editor of the United Service Gazette,
April 19, 1834..-." The advance of ciVilitatien, ovhich gives birth
to Ise trutiy new terms of infirmity and disease, brings in its train
new discoveries of remedial agents and new applications of science
to their virtues. In no case has this remark been more signally
verified than in the modern prevalence of near• sightedness, and
the new appliances for its relief. Truly, we are a blinking genera-
tion; every second man glares upon us in the streets through varied
shades of blue, green, or amber, but none of these optical preser-
vatives profess to restore the impaired faculty to the vigour of health.
Let, however, the student and the literary devotee learn, with gra-
titude, that such a remedy exists. The instances in which Grim-
stone's Eye-snuff has renewed the power of vision by restoring
tone to the over-strained organ are so numerous and well authen-
ticated, that the individual who neglects to make an experiment of '
its efficacy may justly be said to indulge a silly scepticism at his
own expense."

LIVERPOOL COTTON-MARKET, NOV. 4.
Sales of Cotton to-day are 3,000 bags, of which 1,500 are
speculation. All are American. There is a great demand
for yarn at Manchester ; more wanted than can be obtained.
Reports from New York state that the crop is neither so large
nor the quality so good as was expected, and that it will be
cUcidedly three weeks later.
RARITY OF MARRIAGES IN THE WEST HIGH-
LANDS.—It is no less remarkable than true, that in five popu-
lous parishes, including a contiguous tract of land of upwards
of 110 miles in the West Highlands, there were not, during
list year, more than nine marriages. The five parishes alluded
to are Kilmun, Strathburn, Strathlachan, Cairndow, and Loch-
goilhead, each of which sent to the hymeneal altar as follows :
—Kilmun, four brides, one bridegroom ; Strathburn, one bride,
one bridegroom ; Strathlachan, three brides, three bridegrooms;
Cairndow, one bridegroom ; Lochgoilhead, two bridegrooms.
The remaining bridegroom was supplied by the Abbey parish
of Paisley. We are glad to be able to add, that there are
better prospects for the ensuing year. It is said that one of
the parishes will furnish as many marriages next year as the
whole five did during the last 91-le.—Greenock Intelligence'',
ENIIGRATION 1781.—1 n the House of Com-
mons of Ireland, on Saturday, April 24, 1784, Alderman War-
ren begged leave to inform the House of the alarming degree
to which emigration was now taking place • many ships lately
sailed with multitudes of people on boarli ; and there were
now three ships in the harlionr# eto3ll of Which would carry
away 300 pergoiis, He bad gone on board these ships, and
was sorry to find the persons emigrating were not the profli-
gate, the idle, and the dissolute, but the sober, the honest,
and the industrious country-people, many of them from the
counties of Wexford and Kilkenny, spinners and eombers, who
declared they tore themselves away from their native country
because they could not procure
~i.stence in it. This, the
Alderman said, was an twil that ought to be stopped, not by
any coercive measures, but by making the people happy, and
finding employment for them at home; he therefore men-
tioned the subject that gentlemen might consider it during the
recess ; and he declared that the man who could devise an
effectual remedy would be entitled to the thanks of this coun-
try ;ndeed. The question of adjournment to the 11th of May
was put and passed unanimously. In 1834, a New York
paper says—The emigration into Canada through Quebec
from Jun 1825, to August, 1834, amounts, according to a
table publiihed in the Montreal Daily Advertiser, to one mil-
lion one hundred and thirty-three thousand eight hundred and
thirty-eight persons. Thp greatest number of emigrants in
any one year was in 1832, wtien it amounted to 2201000.

RESISTANCE TO PAYMENT OF CHURCH-RATES
OF ANY DI SCRIPTION.—Patrick Griffin, Sheriffs' bailiff, pro-
ceeded to Clashmore, from Dungarvan, on the 29th ult., to
4erve a Writ on Laurence Dennehy, of the former place, for the
recovery of the sum of 131. 11s., for goods sold to him by Mr.
Hayes, of this city. When Griffin was near Clashmore, he
was attacked by about 50 persons, principally women, who are
now put foremost, and who beat the man in a most desperate
manner, and took from him the writ and copy ; they broke two
of the poor fellow's ribs, and gave him a pair of black eyes,
and then left him on the road ;• he was afterwards taken up,
being'unable to walk, and carried on a cart into Dungarvan.
In fact, there cannot be served any process of law in that part
of the county now, without imminent risk of the life of the un-
fortunate person who may so happen to be employed. The
day previous, a man of the name of Hackett, a process server,
who had been engaged on a similar mission, had nearly met a
desperate death, an account of which was published in our last
number.—Cork Evening Herald.
