FOR ALL DISORDERS OF THE EYES.
DR. JOHNSON'S or SINGLETON'S
GOLDEN OINTMENT.
This Ointment has been prepared by the Family of
the present Proprietor mote than 200 years, so that
its reputation rests not on casual success, but on the
experience of many generations. Its efficacy is certain in
all obstinate Inflammations, Herpetic Eruptions, Ring-
worm, Sore Head, and all Scorbutic Humours, either of the
EYES or elsewhere, which is eonfli med by the testimony
of eminent Oculists and Surgeons, who acknowledge that
when other means have failed to produce even relief, per-
fect Cures have been effected by this alone; they are
therefore obliged frequently t resort to it.

The Conseil des Pmd'homnzes, which is the
body representing the weavers, manufacturer., and mer-
chants of Lyons, have just presented to the French Mini-
ster of Commerce a petition breathing the s .me liberal
spirit on commercial matters which distinguished that of
the Chamber of Commerce to the L-gislature. It con..
cludor as follows :—" Your enlightened zeal, M. le Mini
stre, for the public good—your interest in the prosperity
of our manufacture, entitle ua to calculate on your suppor t
By ourselves, and by our representatives, we entreat that
our relations with England may only be changed by being
more and more liberalized and extended. We ask it alike

fur the manufacturer and for the labourer, whose deputies

o
exportation of French machinery,
the preservation of which was so important to our in-
dustry, your refusal was based on the unwillingness to give
commerce au illiberal tendency ; and we were convinced,
when it was represented to 111, bow fatally such a system
might operate in England. We felt the fear that mea.
sures of reciprocal character might be adopted by that
country ; but we now call upon you to give effect to
your own convictions, in order to prevent evils of which
no one can estimate the extent—evils with which we
shall he inevitably surrounded if this prohibitory system be
not broken down. Freedom of trade, Sir, is now de-
manded by our industrious population. Freedom of trade
is indispensable to their existence. Freedom of trade is
required by the nation—it is above all things necessary for
our security and our well-being."— Tirnes.

SALE OF KING'S CROSS.—Yesterday after-
noon, at the Mart, was bona fide sold, under circum-
stances which excited much interest, and caused a very
numerous assemblage of the subscribers and other parties
interested, the newly-erected King's Cross, at the junction
of the Hampstead, Pentonville, Gray's Inn-lane, and New.
roads. This building, which is of Bath stone, was pro •
jected soon after the death of the late King, and it was
then intended to place an equestrian statue of GEORGE IV.
on the summit. The " Cross," however, from want of
subscriptions to carry into execution the original design,
remained, for some time, in an incomplete state. It was,
at length, completed in its present form ; and, certainly,
as a protection by day, and a beacon at night, when well
lighted, it was, and is, of service to passengers at this
wide-extended and dangerous crossing. The sale took
place by order of the assignees of Messrs. GUYENNETTE,
under a fiat of bankruptcy. Several gentlemen declared
there was no title to the property. It was answered that
the Cormnissioners of the Roads had agreed to the erection
of the Cross," and had exchanged a piece of ground in
lieu of the site; the Parish Vestry had also approved of
it; that certainly was the only title. A gentleman ob-
served, the subscribers had a claim upon it as well as the
assignees. This was answered in the negative. It was
then stated that, under the Paving Act, the Cross might
be pulled down. The auctioneer remarked, that a work
of so much public utility and ornament, and which had
cast nearly 1,0001., would not be removed by the official
authorities. The building, which is now let at 25/. a
year to the Commissioners of Police, was knocked down
and sold for 166 guineas only. The low price at which
it was sold surprised every one. The materials alone, al-
lowing the expense of pulling down, are worth double the
money. The subscribers and creditors were much disap-
pointed that the new police authorities, who now Posse's
it as yearly tenants, were not the purchasers.
