UNDER the PATRONAGE of HIS MAJESTY, and AU-
THORIZED by the LORDS of the TREASURY.
SIGHT RESTORED.—NERVOUS HEADACHE
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 re-
storative, all of whom may be applied to, who have been relieved
from cataract, gutta 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 impervious
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,
Broad-street, Bloomsbury, and No. 24, King-street, Long-acre,
London.

COPY OF A LETTER sent to Mr. Grimstone, 39, Broad-
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, your's respectfully, H. PLUCKWELL, Governor of the
Poor.—Poor-house, Tottenham, Middlesex, January 24, 1834.—
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, relieving 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 civilization, which gives birth
infirmity and disease, brings in its train
tonew
s odiscoveries new
fformrems oedial 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 arc 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."
OBSERVE the Inventor's Signature on each Cannister. Sold
in cannisters, Is. 3d., 2s. 4d., 4s. 4d.. and Bs. each. Observe the
signature on each cannister, " With the patronage of his late Ma-
jesty, and authorised .by the Lords of the Treasury." A liberal
allowance to all venders of " Grimstone's Eye-snuff." All orders

MESSRS. KINNEARS, SMITHS, AND CO.'S
BA N K RUPTC Y.—Yesterday the second General Meeting of the
creditors was held in the Waterloo-rooms, and was numerously
attended. Mr. James Brown, accountant, the interim factor,
laid before meeting, with other documents, a report, in which
it was stated that, though any estimate which could be made
at present of the probable dividend to be realised from the
estate must necessarily be vague and inconclusive, he was led
to think that it might fairly be taken at from 10s. to lls. per
pound. Mr. Brown was unanimously appointed trustee, and
notice was given that the creditors might lodge their claims
and grounds of debt with him at any time that suited their
convenience.---Edinburgh Courant.
A good deal of anxiety having prevailed on the
subject of the possibility of the Swan River Colony maintain-
ing itself during the current year, a report from the Agricul-
tural Society to Captain Irwin, the Lieutenant-Governor, in
September last, has been published. In this they state, that
notwithstanding the disadvantages under which the settlers
still labour, the cultivation of -the land had increased fourfold
since their preceding report ; that the quantity of land under
wheat was about 560 acres, and that about 240 acres were
under barley, oats, peas, potatoes, &c. The increase of cattle
and sheep had been materially checked by the necessities of
thet
c t
many
yin of them to sacrifice their breeding_
stock tothis particular the speedy assist-
ss tl settlers obliging
butcher,
and
ance of Government was much needed. The depredations of
the natives had ceased, and a more friendly feeling was gene-
rated between them and the settlers. The value of the wool
exported to this country, in the year 1830, was 2221. ; last
year it amounted to .5,000/.

- - -
The GOVERNOR stated that the Court of Directors had
considered it proper to call this special meeting, for the pur-
pose of declaring the first dividend on the Company's
shares.—(Hear.) He had had the honour of presiding on
many occasions when. he really had felt much distress, not
on his own account or on account of his 'own family who.
were connected with the undertaking, but.he had felt great
pain that the Company had not heretofore, succeeded. He
had no hand whatever in the original formation of the Com-
pany, it having been promoted by some of the most intelli-
gent persons in the City, and therefore it was that it 114,1
pained him to see so little success attend their exertions. In
looking back to the causes of the failure, he could not but
feel that it arose from the selection the Company had male
of its first agent, who had made many mistakes, but none
greater had he made than that of selecting a large
quantity of land that was utterly and entirely useless
for the purpose of supporting sheep. Since that ti*,
however, the Directors had, after much difficulty, ob-
tained from Government the power of exchanging 600,010
acres for two other locations, of which Sir Edwird
Parry, the Company's late Commissioner, had spoken
in the highest terms. The exertions of that officer in tne
service of the Company had entitled him to every prdse
and gratitude. Sir Edward Parry had spoken of one k-
Cation, consisting of about 260,000 acres, in the most flat-
tering and romantic manner—it was well washed with many
rivers, a most important point in a country like New South
Wales. Sir E. Dumaresque, the Company's present Com-
missioner, had spoken in high terms of the °Vier location,
consisting of 360,000 acres, considering it (Tay good
with the former land he had alluded to. As it was known
that sheep required a change, these two locations would
provide ample means for that purpose. The Company had
now 40,000 sheep, which produced last year 270 bales of
wool, which had been sold here, and produced 7,782/. 2s. 6d.
Some hides bad also been sent over. He • (the Governor)
was happy to state, that the time was at length come when
the Directors thought it right to propose the declaration of
a divideni—(Hear)—and it Was recommended that a divi-
dend of ten shillings per share should be paid to the pro-
prietors. The Directors thought it right to retain, with
the sanction of the proprietors, 500/. of the surplus, in order
to meet any extraordinary expenditure, should such arise.
Mr. HART DAVIS (a Director), said the expenses of
the year were provided for, and the dividend now proposed
to be made was out of the produce of last year's wooL
The GOVERNOR observed that the colony of New South
Wales was fast advancing in prosperity ; many circum-
stances indicated that this was the fact, and the Company
would advance in importance with the colony, as their es-
tablishment was so much identified with it. The accounts
of the Company, showing the actual state of their affairs,
were on the table, and to which he claimed the particular
attention of the Court of Directors. He should now put
the question, that the dividend of 10s. per share should be
agreed to.
Mr. WINTER remarked that to so pleasing a proposition
he thought none would object. He wished to. know, how-
ever, how the balance of 3,363/. was divided ?
Mr. H. DAVIS said that was the balance of cash in hand,
after paying all the debts due by the Company.
The question was then put, and the proposed dividend
agreed to unanimously.
The balance-sheet of the Company's accounts, showing
the present state of the finances of the establishment, was
then handed round. It appeared from this document that
the cash in hand, at the date the accounts were balanced,
was 3,363/..; that the produce or 270 bales of wool sold
was 7,7821. 2s. 6d. ; and of hides, 230/. ; making a total of
11,374/. Is. 3d. On the debit side, were items to meet
bills drawn by Sir E. Parry, 1,0601. Freight of wool and
insurance, 5701. To amount required to pay the dividend,
5001. ; which, with the 500/. proposed to be retained, would
leave a probable balance, after paying the dividend, of
4,2341. 4s. Bd.

Mr. WINTER asked if the expenses of the Company had
been reduced?

The GOVERNOR replied that the greatest exertions had
,been made to promote economy. Colonel Dumaresque has
received but 7001. a year, without any retiring allowance ;
he was resident in the colony, and in his dispatches stated
that, after having rode over 1,000 miles of the land, the
Company had some of the best land in the colony.—(Hear.)
Mr. WINTER hoped that, as a dividend had at length
been declared, the proprietors would not hereafter be called
upon to retrace their steps and make further calls. He
concurred in the opinion expressed of the ability of Colonel
Dumaresque, who, though a soldier, was fully competent,
from his general knowledge to act for the Company.
Mr. DAVIS said that at the last meeting an attack had
been made upon the Directors by a proprietor not now
present, who had given it as his opinion that, unless a radi-
cal reform was made in the Company, there would be no
end to calls for more money. He (Mr. Davis) had then
.)
stated that it was probable no further call would be re-
quired, and that a dividend was not so remote as many ex-
pected ; and he was happy to state that the Directors at
length were enabled to propose a dividend.—(Hear.
The expenses of the Company had been materially lessened,
but as the Company advanced in prosperity he could not
promise that expenses would not increase. If they had an
increase in their sheep they must have more shepherds ;
and if the consumption of coals increased from the Com-
pany's colliery, they must have more colliers. He could
not but express his thanks to the proprietors, who, by their
patience, and the support they had given the directors, had
rescued this Company from abandonment.—( Hear.) He
would venture to assert, that, for the next ten years to
come, the proprietorS would never have a less dividend than
that now proposed, but that it would be considerably in.
creased, and that too after making full allowances for any
difficulties the Company might encounter. The produce
of wool from the Company's sheep the year before last was
200 bales, last year it was 275 bales, and this year it was
expected to reach 400, and in the following year 600 hales
were expected. They had also a considerable export of coals
to Van Diemen's Land, and the consumption in the colony
was gradually increasing ; last year they sold above 7,000
tons. The progress of steam navigation would also increase
considerably the consumption of coal. The prospects of
the Company, therefore, were extremely favourable.
In reply to a question, the Governor said that the bills
to be paid and drawn for by Sir E. Parry, were about
5,000/. ; last year they amounted to about 7,0001. It had
been laid to the charge of the Company that they were not
Christians—that they had not provided for the religious in-
struction of the people on their land. 'This was not the
case, for this year the Directors had been in negotiation
with Government on the subject, the Colonial Minister
having proposed to give the Company a certain quantity of
land, and the latter undertaking to provide for the expenses
of a clergyman. After many delays the Government broke
off the negotiation, and would have nothing further to do
with the subject. Sir Edward Parry had, out of his own
resources, built a church on the Company's land, and the
expenses of maintaining a clergyman were paid by the Co-
mpany.—( Hear.)
After some further business had been disposed of, the
thanks of th'e meeting were, on the motion of Mr. WIN-
TER, moved to the Court of Directors, for the favourable
Report of the Company's affairs that day presented to them,
and for their zeal and attention to the affairs of the cgs,-
blisbment.

The motion was carried unanimously.
The GOVERNOR returned thanks, and said the Directors
had, in times of difficulty, paid every attention to the Coma
pany's affairs, and when, too, there was little or no prospect
of advantage ; and he could answer for them that they would
not be less desirous of attending to the concerns pf the eo-
tablishment in future.
The Meeting then adjourned.

GIN PALACES.---A splendid gin palace has neen
lately erected in Rosemary-lane, in the midst of the old clothes
market, called " Rag Fair," and its magnificent fittings-uPo
polished mahogany doors, large squares of plate glass, a very
handsome lamp, which alone is said to have cost one hundred
guineas, and a large clock, which is illuminated after dark, as a
beacon to lure the victims of the liquid fire, gin, to the Moloch
within, forms a very striking contrast with the mean dwellings,
dirt, and misery which surround it. The interior is fitted up
in the same splendid manner, with massive gas burners and
casks of the most gaudy colours. A gin palace on a very
large scale is about to be erected in High-street, Shadwell (a
continuation of Ratcliffe-highway), on the site of an old anal
unpretending public-house, called the Ship and Sheares,
which, with another house adjoining, has been pulled down for
the purpose. The police expect a very great addition to their
labours in this disorderly neighbourhood on the completion of
the gin palace, as the street already abounds with liquor shops,
which are always filled with sailors and drunken prostitutes.
The shopkeepers view the intended erection with
dismay. ,feelings of

A short time ago a committee of the guardians of the
poor of the parish of St. James, Clerkenwell, was appointed
to investigate numerous frauds which have during several
years been committed on the parish funds. The committee
have made three reports, which have been circulated for
the information of the parishioners. The reports, which
are to the following effect, clearly point out the necessity
of some legislative measure tozegulate the_ parochial
expenditure.
