Watersprite made the running, with May Morning and
Melior next, close up. At the bottom turn May Morning
went to the front, but was soon passed by Grillade, who
retained the lead to the top turn, where they ran nearly
abreast, May Morning being in the rear. At the distance
Independence took a slight lead, and a fine race ensued,
ending in a dead heat. .The others were eo close together
that the judge could not place a third.
Yorkshire Grey afterwards walked over, and the stakes
were divided.

BEHAVIOUR OF AN INDIAN RIVEN- VESSEL

AT SEA.

(From the _Liverpool Albion.)
The steamer Ganges, a shallow -vessel belonging
to the Oriental Inland Steam Company, and in-
tended for the navigation of the rivers of the East,
recently left the Mersey to proceed to India under
sail. This vessel, which attracted considerable at-
tention from her unusual appearmace, has shown
herself to be a safe and excellent seaboat. The fol-
lowing account, given by the captain, of the be-
haviour of the vessel in a heavy gale which she en-
countered immediately after leaving port, will be
read with interest, as it shows the power of shallow
vessels, when properly constructed, to contend with
a heavy sea without injury lam very much
pleased indeed to tell you that our noble little craft
is a first-rate seaboat. I was rather glad we had the
gale—it gave us all confidence in her. When it
began the.pea hit hard abaft the sponson, so I set all
fore-and-aft sail, and to the surprise of all -of us she
never took a drop of water there, and the weather
sponson dried up. The Teazer made far worse
weather of it than ourselves. lam glad we came in
here, as the White Star put iu this morning, hav-
ing very bad weather indeed down Channel. I shall
send an account to the directors, and tell them what
I think of her. She is the most buoyant vessel I
was ever in, and has the least motion.'

GEMSTONE'S EYE SNUFF.—A certificate proving the
virtues of this snuff, from Dr. Ure, M.D., F.R.S., 25,
Keppel-street, Russell-square :—" I hereby certify that the
eye snuff invented and manufactured by Mr. Wm. Grim-
stone, of the Herbary, Highgate, is quite free from tobacco
and composed of herbs, capable of exciting mildly the pitui-
tary glands, without exercising any subsequent narcotic
action on the optical organs. This snuff is therefore
adapted to relieve congestions affecting the brain and the
vision.—Andrew Ure, M.D., F.R.S., professor of chemis-
try and analytical chemist." The above is the result of an
analysis of Grimstone's eye snuff, required by the Spanish
Consul-General (Marquis of Bayern°, &c.), to free this
snuff from tobacco duty in the Spanish dominions.
