GRAVESEND CROWN PROPERTY, the BLOCKHOUSE

FORT; •
Situate aside the River, and close to the New Pier, in the centre

. of the ToWn.
MESSR S. DA VIS BROTHERS have received
poitive directions from the Honourable Beard of Ord-
nance, to SELL by AUCTION, at.the Mart, London, on TUES-
DAY, March 31, that portion of LAND; known as the BLOCK-
HOUSE, Gravesend, opposite the Terrace, between the ,Custom,
house and Ordnance Storekeeper's residence, divided into 40 Lots
for building, half of which. are aside the River, and are particularly
eligible for water-side premises, and the rest of the lots are adapted
for erecting 40 or more first-rate houses. For investment to let on
building leases this property is most valuable, the situation is parti-
cularly good and pleasing,
,in the.best neighbourhood, near to the
new Pier, and much enlivened by the view of the shipping and fre-
quent arrival and sailing of the steam-boats. The arrangements,
allotments, and laying out of the new streets have been carefully
studied to make this by far the most preferable part of the town.
Streets of handsome width, leading to the river, intersect the pro-
perty to afford amplsrapproaches and fine frontages to all the lots.
The rapidly increasing popularity of Gravesend and the extraordi-
nary influx of visitors render building absolutely necessary, and no
one can doubt that this ground offers the best sites for affording the
much wanted accommodation, and must prove most profitable to
purchasers.
Particulars and conditions of Sale may be had at the Ordnance
Storekeeper's Office, and Falcon Inn, Gravesend ; at the Office of
Ordnance, Pall-mall ; at the office of Mr. James Smith, solicitor
to•the Board, 27, Craven,street, Strand; at the Auction Mart,
London; and at the Auctioneers' Offices, 12, Haymarket, and 8,
Bridge-street, Blackfriars.

(lONSOLATION to the Gouty and Rheumatic
afforded by the Use of BLAIR'S GOUT and RHEU-
MATIC PILLS. The most excruciating pains of Gout, Rheu-
matic Gout, Rheumatism, and Lumbago, relieved in the short
space of two hours, and cured in a few days, by these incomparable
Pills, which arc so perfectly innocent as to require neither confine-
ment nor attention of any sort. Indeed, they are a remedy so com-
pletely efficient, that they need only a trial to insure their universal
recommendation. The following few names are selected from a
numerous list of persons that can be referred to, who will gladly
recommend these Pills from their own experience :
Mr. William Hale, nearly 40 years postman at Dulwich, Surrey,
afflicted with rheumatism for 10 or 12 years, and through which he
was superannuated, completely cured by less than one box. There
are several persons in the neighbourhood of Dulwich who have ex-
perienced similar benefits, and who can' be referred to.
Mr. Charles Price (late of the Phcenix Fire Office), No. 37,
St. Martin's Lane, has been twice cured of attacks of the gout by
the taking of three or four doses only each time.
Mr. W. Robinson, No. 30, Eagle-street, Red Lion-square, in the
employ of Messrs. Day and Martin, relieved by three doses, and
cured, by the taking of one box, of a violent attack of rheumatic
gout, which had confined him to his bed for eight days.
Sold by Thomas Prout, No. 229, Strand, London, seven doors
from Temple Bar ; and, by his appointment, by most medicine ven-
dors in town and country, price 2s. 9d. per box.
N.B.—The usual full allowance to country agents, on payment
being ordered in London.

UNDER the PATRONAGE of HIS MAJESTY, and AU-
THORIZED by the LORDS of the TREASURY.
SIGHT RESTORED.—NERVOUS HEAD-
ACHE CURED.—This discovery has proved itself of the
greatest importance to the public. The numerous testimonials tbe
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, whe have been relieved
from cataract, gutta serene, opthahnia, and inflammations, all dis-
eases of the eyes and head having been completely eradicated, glasses
.eft 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,
Vroad-street, Bloomsbury, and No. 24, King-street, Long-acre,
' Loudon.
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, yours respectfully, H. Peuceweee, Governor of the
Poor.—Poor-house, Tottenham, Middlesex, January 24, 1834,
Sight restored."
OBSERVATIONS of the Editor of the " Old England,'
Sept. 22;1833 :—" EYK &wen—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, au 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
tone to the over-strained organ are so numerous and well authen-
tioated, that the individual who neglects to make an experiment of
its efficacy may justly be said to ndulge a silly scepticism at his
own expense. '

con-
sidered * Lord Chandos, when he so zealously pledged
himself to press such a motion upon Parliament. Those
gentlemen who stand unpledged upon the question, and
who have been induced to lean towards an abolition of the
tax by a notion that it would, Ist, relieve the consumer and
enable him to drink more beer, or, 2dly, that it would assist
the farmer, through an increased consumption, and a conse-
quent rise in the price of barley, and thus enable him to
pay a higher rent,—such gentlemen ought, we think, to
pause a little, and ascertain, so far as it can be done with-
out the risk of an actual and irremediable experi-
ment, the probability of the measure so recommended
producing the above, or any good effects, in a de-
gree at all commensurate with the shock to public
credit, which must result from a breaking-up of the revenue,
without a substitute for the tax abolished. We stated yes-
terday that the reduction of duty (amounting to 2s. 7d.
per bushel of malt) would not lower the price of beer to the
consumer more than 2d. the gallon, or A-d. per quart—an
alteration which can hardly be presumed to extend in any
degree the sale of the article, by consequence to increase
the demand for barley, to raise the price of it, or thereby to
assist the farmer. If, on the other hand, the sale of malt
should be increased by the reduction of the duty, and with
it the price of barley, it is obvious that the advanced price of
those materials must fall upon the beer drinker, not upon
the brewer, so as to neutralize, pro tank, the relief af-
forded to the consumer by the abolition of the tax, and to
weaken the force of one of the two arguments in favour of
such abolition, in nearly the same ratio in which it served
the other. It is fairly stated in an intelligent little pamph-
let, entitled Letters on the Consumption of Malt, that even
when the price of beer was reduced a penny per quart,
by the abolition of the beer duty, the increased sale
arose much more from the simultaneous multiplication
of beer-shops, which afforded such facility of access to the
liquor, than to the mere fall of price. Yet the addition to
the produce of the duty was only a little more than one-
seventh of the whole tax, or about 640,0001. per annum.
The real advantage to the most numerous class of con-
sumers, as well as to the barley growers, would be (were it
practicable) an extension of the manufacture of home-
brewed beer, which, under the operation of the present
law, would give the poor man's family as good a quart of
beer for 20. as he can buy of the publican for 5d., and
would naturally and inevitably, by increasing the demand
for malt, enhance the market price of it. But that is
not contemplated by the proposal of Lord Chandos, nor
could it be effected by any such mode of legislation. A
saving of little more than a farthing in the quart of beer
by the repeal of a tax, pressing equally on all purchasers
of malt, would not stimulate the poor man to a practice,
to which he has not been already tempted by a profit of
2d. The fact is, that if the malt tax were repealed to-
morrow, neither the poor consumer nor the industrious
farmer would be a gainer by it to the amount of ss. in the
1001. The price of one description of farm produce—
viz., barley—might be raised by a more enlarged consump-
tion. But does any one imagine that the owner of the soil
would permit the cultivator to benefit by the change to his own
(the landlord's) exclusion ? Is any one simple enough to
conceive that if the produce of an acre of barley land were
to fetch a better price, the same acre would not also be
valued by its proprietor at a better rent ? The same con-
fusion seems to prevail upon this subject as upon every
other involving the relations between landlord and tenant,
whether with regard to the price of grain, or to the privi-
lege of voting for Members of Parliament. The esta-
blishment of corn laws is invoked by what goes under the
name of the " agricultural interest," as a necessary pro-
tection to the tenant, who has really—in the long run
—nothing to do with it, except in so far as he is a
consumer of corn, seeing that, if the tax on imported
corn protects any thing, it is the landlord's rent,
and not the tenant's profit, just as tenants at will were
said to be enfranchised by the Reform Bill, for their own
sakes ; whereas it is in the interest of their landlords that
their votes have been almost invariably given. Those ac-
quainted with the details of the malt trade have demon-
strated pretty clearly that by the repeal of the tax, capital
to the amount of 5,000,0001. sterling, now employed by the
brewers in stirring and animating the trade, would, for a
time at least, be withdrawn from the market, and must be
replaced by fresh capital, bringing with it a new and more
languid method of dealing between farmer, malster, and
brewer. Nevertheless, the main point to be now consi-
dered is the alarming deficit which would at once appear in
the general revenue of the country, while it is obvious that
very few of the Whigs or Conservatives are prepared to
adopt the only efficient substitute, viz., a tax on property.
It is, we think, impossible that such a measure should be
carried, and we shall, as was before hinted, cordially congra-
tulate the Noble Lord who introduces it on his double good
fortune—the redemption of his pledge, and the defeat of
his motion.—Times.

An Evening Contemporary has an article upon the im-
portant subject of the Malt Tax, evidently prompted by
some free-trade theorist, and written by a party wholly ig-
norant of the position of the agricultural occupiers and la-
bourers, as well as the custom of tillage throughout Great
Britain ; at any rate the writer is one who is most anxious
to blink the real question, for the sake of perpetuating his
cruel theories against the industrial portion of the British
Empire. His notions savour so much of the Maccullochite
empiricism, that we should not have noticed them but that
we know that empirics sometimes dispense most dangerous
commodities. He commences by stating that there are
many raw materials of manufactured articles that ought first
to be relieved from taxation before the malt duty is disturbed.
We willingly accord that we wish our crippling system of
Excise was exploded, and it should be the first endeavour of
the government to get rid of that system which, with
all its cumbrous inquisitorial machinery, is maintained at
the enormous charge of 17i per cent. on the aggregate.
But the writer, in talking about the raw material, has for-
gotten that the tax on malt is actually a tax upon the raw
material called barley, from which, if once the duty were
removed, the poor and industrious cottager might brew a
wholesome beverage with the cost at the outset of merely a
few utensils that would not amount to the indirect duty he
now pays for the poisonous stuff he is compelled to drink at
the beer-shops and public-houses in the course of three or
four months. Again, we deny that the cottagers have
generally left off making their own bread ; where they have
so done it is in consequence of their poverty, and that only
in the immediate neighbourhood of large towns. Our
personal knowledge bears out this assertion. And he also
proves himself little acquainted with the internal economy
of the peasant's cottage in decidedly rural districts, when
he asserts that his clothes are not mainly prepared at
home ; in fact, the means of the farming labourer are
so reduced that lie cannot purchase them already
made. So much for this part of his reasoning.
That the peasant should be enabled to return to the good
old, and still existing, custom, in many instances, of brew-
ing and baking, &c., at home, is one of the great objects
for our advocacy for the repeal of this onerous tax, because
we believe that it will lead to a regeneration of character
in that useful portion of our population, which the applica-
tion of Malthusian and Maccullochite theories have tended
greatly to lower. The writer says that the abolition of
the malt tax will only relieve the occupiers of light
lands—to wit, the barley growers, who, from his ac-
count, would appear to have made large fortunes by the
application of hone-dust for manure. This is a curious
apology for the perpetuation of the malt-tax, and shows
that the writer has but a shallow and limited knowledge of
agriculture, almost as limited as the supply of bone-dust is
now annually becoming, either for heavy clay, wheat, or
light barley lands. Verily it is but the paltry excuse of
a free-trader in corn to accelerate the downfall of the
agricultural occupiers by flooding the country with foreign
barley in order to suit his private views. He must, if he
pretends to knowledge at all, have known that, had it not
been for the general adoption of an improved system of
applying manures during the past twenty years, that the
corn and meat-growers of this country could not have main-
tained their position as they have done. But we must dis-
miss this twaddler upon the malt tax—this masked advocate
for free-trade principles at the expense of more than six
millions of the British population. Yet we cannot con-
clude without expressing to the agricultural interests our
conviction that the repeal of the malt tax is but a prelimi-
nary measure, which will be incomplete without a thorough
reform in our monetary system, from which, if the Admi-
nistration flinch, it truly will merit the reprobation of all
who wish well to this country ; but we hope, since the
King's Speech from the throne has reiterated the admis-
sion of agricultural distress, that this important interest
will no longer be neglected.—Morning Herald.
We stated yesterday that Mr. Hume, in a manner for
which he deserves the highest credit, had at once, upon a
proper representation of the circumstances of the case, re-
linquished his intended motion, for limiting the Supplies,
on Friday next, in favour of one of the Members of the
late Government—and that that Member, whoever he
might be—whether Sir John Cam Hobhouse, or Lord
John Russell—would move that the Supply should be
restricted to three instead of six months. Our evening
contemporaries did us the honour of omitting all mention of
this not very unimportant matter of information, although
no other morning Journal was in possession of it. It is
possible that the Morning Advertiser is not in credit
with them.. On Sunday, Lord John Russell was
waited upon, for the purpose of inducing him to
bring forward the " three months' supply motion," and
at that moment he had not, though favourable to it, made
up his mind upon the subject—but no doubt was enter-
tained that he would make the motion, more especially after
Mr. Hume, in the most handsome manner, had declared
