UNDER the PATRONAGE of HIS MAJESTY, and AU

THORIZED by the LORDS of the TREASURY.
OIG-1-it RESTORED—NERVOUS HEAD-
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
clitors of the first respectability, provitr, the truth of this infallible
ee,teraive, all of whom may be applieeto, who have been relieved
from cataract, gutta serena, •pthalmia, and inflammations, all dis-
e:ues of the eyes and head having been completely eradicated, glasses
lea 0' 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 awl 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,
!road-street, Bloomsbury, and No. 24, King-street, Long-acre,
London.

COPY OF A LETTER sent to Mr. Grimstone, 39, Bread-
street, Bloomsbury .—" Dear Sir,—Yeu 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-
mein, Sir, your's resectfully, H. PLucKwELL, Governor of the
Poor.—Poor-house, Tottenham, Middlesex, January 24, 1834.
S!gh t restored."

OBSERVATIONS of the Editor of the " Old England,'
Sept. 1833 Eve SNurr.—This is really an extraordinary
reparation. Of what it is compounded we know not ; but this we
knew, 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
to so many new forms 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
:one 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 ndulge a silly scepticism at his
ewn expense."

CHELTENRAI4I, Jan. 17.—A match for one hundred sovereigns
came off this morning on the Old Race Course between Captain
Baring's Calif and Mr. Starke's Chesnut gelding ; the former ridden
by Captain Pellatt, the latter by Colonel Charitie. The race xva.:3
won easy by Calif, owing in a great measure to Mr. Starke's hors"
haying run out of the ground in turning the corner.

Sir Thomas Piston was one of the most able Go-
vernors Trinidad ever had. His way of treating debtors that
had the means, but wanted the will, to pay, was original ;
in-
stead of undergoing the heavy delay of a Spanish law process,
credizors were in the habit of going to Governor Picton ; be
ould summon the debtor before him, and ask him if the plain-
tiff's claim was just; if the defendant answered in the affirms-
live, Picton rejoined, " Pav him, Sir, immediately;" perhaps
the defendant would remark that he had not the money at the
moment. " When will you have it, Sir ?" " This day week."
" Here," the Governor would say, addressing the plaintiff,
" Here is your money," at the same time paying him himself,
and then turning to the defendant he would say, " Take care,
Sir, that you produce the money within ten days." This was
enough, for few men would venture to trifle with the Gover-
nor. He had the art of making himself loved and respected
by the honest Members of the community and feared by the
worthless.—lllonthly Magazine.
