Duchess of Kent, and the Lords of the Treasury, is universally re-
commended by the Faculty for its efficacy in removing disorders
ncident to the Eyes and Head.
SIGHT RESTORED!—NERVOUS HEADACHE AND
DEAFNESS CURED!
By the most simple, delightful, and fragrant Compound!
Its mode of application is fraught with pleasure; many thousand
cures have been accomplished by its use, at a trifling expense, yet
certain in its operation. If testimonies be necessary to induce the
sufferer to make trial, Kings, Lords,. and Commons have used it.
Me Lords of the Treasury have sanctioned its use. Their late Ma-
jesties, the Duchess of Kent, the most eminent Oculists, Medical
Practitioners—with that gigantic balance, the Press—have eulogised
Grimstone's celebrated Herbaceous Compound, known as " Grim-
stone's Eye Snuff," for its efficacy in removing all diseases incident
to the Eves and Head. G. J. Guthrie , Esq., F.R.S. See J. B. Lich-
field, Es.q.'s Letter, Whitehall. Dr. Thomas. Dr. Andrews calls it
a national blessing—see his Reports touching its utility. The late
Mr. Abernethy, with many others, recommend Grimstone's Eye
Snuff, and call it " Man's best Friend," and the "Student's Vade
Mecum."
Dr. Andrews also recommends its use as a preventive. See his
reports in Nov. • 1831. He states that the tenacious sympathy of the
membrane, within the nostrils, with the nervous system, that Grim-
stome's Eye Snuff, when frequently taken, must be of the greatest
benefit to the consumer; and, further, recommends its universal
adoption as a preventative.
Dr. Thomas, of Hatfield, having witnessed many cases both of
headache and ophthalmia, has kindly given his testimony thereof.

SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS.
FROM THE EVENING PAPERS OF YESTERDAY.
GLOBE.—The Emperor Nicholas has made up
his mind to starve us. It is a fact—the Post says
so. "If this step has not already been taken, there
is reason to believe that it is seriously contemplated."
But this annunciation is, if possible, even less start-
ling than the comment f our Contemporary : " And
there could be scarcely more substantial evidence,"
he continues, " of paternal solicitude for the people's
welfare, on the part of a Monarch and a Govern-,
ment, who have the honour of being selected as the'
special objects of abuse and denunciation by all the
turbulents and malcontents of Europe." Rather hard,
though, to visit the sins of all Europe upon the
unlucky head of this country ; and a special
evidence, it must be confessed, of " paternal
solicitude " for the welfare of his people—videlicet,
Poland—to destroy her whole trade at one blow. But
there may be deep policy in this scheme. The Em-
peror is capable of great sacrifices for great ends.
How much in men and money has he not thrown
away—is he not still throwing away ?—in the con-
quest of Circassia ! lie has, however, evidently
given up the idea of attacking us in India. People
used to talk of Russian influence on the North
Eastern boundary ; and not a few thought it
quite enough success for Lord Palmerston,
even had he done no more, to scare away the Rus-
sian agents from Peshawur and the Court of Dost
Mahomed. But the state of things is reversed. The
question now is—or rather has been—not whether a
Russian agent.is exceeding his written instructions at
Caubul, but whether Lord Ellenborough has yet
taken it into his head to march upon St. Petersburgh ?
The. Emperor, therefore, with that intuitous self-
adaptation to circumstances which distinguishes the
Autocrat, has given up India for the present. War
in Europe, against this country especially, is to be
carried on, not by hostile troops, but by hostile tariffs.
Hunger will tame a lion ; and this " Great Wizard
of the North" will soon have the British Lion crouch-
ing at his feet. We really wonder that this " fright-
ful" danger left the Post self-possessed enough to ad-
mire the " substantial evidence of paternal solicitude."
To be sure, the Post tells us, a few lines afterwards,
that'when there is "a scarcity in England, the unfa-
vourable quality of the harvest in Poland would," of
itself, we presume, " shut out the possibility of a sup-
ply," from that quarter. So that, after all, the Em-
peror's'prohibition may not extend further than that
Poland is not to export when the country has a full
supply. In this sense there certainly is substantial
evidence of paternal solicitude in preventing his peo-
ple from losing their money, But to be serious, we
thought that by this time the bugbear of dependence
on foreign supplies had been laughed down. For
some years past we have averaged a supply of 1,000
quarters from abroad. According to the gennerally
understood consumption of this country, these would
supply a thousand individuals for a year. A
great proportion of them, at all events, would starve
but for our " supplies from abroad." A nd we presume
that the ability to starve that number is as serious a
consideration with our legislators, in determining
the question of foreign dependence, as if the num-
ber were to any amount greater. For the life
of a, .single citizen assassinated abroad, a strict
account is rigorously exacted by us at the
hands of the State under whose protection he
happened to be residing. We presume that
that life would be the subject of no less anxi-
ous solicitude, because it happened to be destroyed
by starvation at home. 'We are, in fact, as much
dependent on foreign supplies as we ever can be. If
these improvements in farming continue—which, by
the way, the Post does not seem much to admire—it
may he a question how far we shall not get rid of it
altogether. The idea is too ridiculous. The Post
must remember the time when the Russian nobility
forced the Emperor Paul to make peace with this
country, that they might regain our trade with them
in the Baltic timber. If,in that article our trade was
so necessary to them that they could not afford to
continue at war with us, and the Emperor Nicholas
really has confided to the Post his fixed resolution to
starve us, we shall wait with most exemplary patience
for his success.
STANDARD.—The French Government has
promptly followed up the successful termination of
the war in Morocco, by giving a decisive proof of its
pacific intentions. Orders have been issued to suspend
the preparations in progress at Rochefort, Cherbourg,
L'Orient, Toulon, and Brest. The expenses of the expe-
dition to Morocco are rated at about 800,0001. ster-
ling, and it is not intended to add to 'them by fur-
ther preparations, when no new movement is con-
templated. Were it not that . men sometimes en-
tertain apprehensions of evil, after they have for-
gotten the grounds upon which these apprehensions
were first conceived, we should be ashamed to recur
so often as we do to the arguments which we em-
ployed from the first to combat the prediction's of
those, who held that the war in Morocco must end
in the conquest of that empire by France, as terri-
torial aggrandisement was its only conceivable
motive, and that Morocco was to be made the step-
ping-stone to an attack upon England.. Such no-
tions may, no doubt, have found their way into
the imagination of the mad blockheads who write
the National, but it is impossible to believe that anv
sober-minded Frenchman could entertain them for
one moment. Morocco could not be securely con-
quered by any one European power, or by any
two European powers, though all the other
States of Europe should maintain a strict
neutrality. But if the aggrandisement of France
by an acquisition so great and so near as
the empire of Morocco, is calculated to excite the
jealousy of this country, were not such an aggran-
disement calculated to excite still stronger jealousy in
other nations of Europe, not only by the pnponder-
ance which it would give to, perhaps, already the
most t owerful nation of the Continent, and by the
recollection which the very name of extensive
French conquests would inevitably awaken ? These
are considerations which cannot have escaped the
wise • tatesmen who govern France ; and these are

considerations which must for ever restrain our
neighbours from enterprises like that imputed to
them. Now . that the riffle of alarm has blown
over, we cannot help ',thinking that it will prove
in the end to have been productive rather of good than
harm, if it has taught our' neighbours to contemplate
a little more closely and 'a little more carefully the
probable benefits and the possible losses of war. In
this country, where the people have for more than a
century, exercised the habit of thinking for them-
selves, and where we have had pretty generally
fairly divided among the people the blessings of
peace as well as the burdens of war, peace is always
popular, although, by our insular position, and
other circumstances, we are better protected than
others .from the worst effects of war. In
France, on the other hand, the people had, until
lately, too little share in the conduct of the affairs of
their country to think very seriously about them ;
and in the matter of peace or war they had scarcely
any pacific interest ; for while war held out the pros-
pect of glory to all, and of employment to a great
many, peace proffered nothing. For fourteen years
the French people have, for the first time since
France was a nation, been in the enjoyment of free
government, and for nearly four of these fourteen
years in the enjoyment of good government, and now
that it is for the first time the,choice of peace or war
has been presented to them even in the distance. To
suppose that a whole people of thirty-four millions
would in four, or even. fourteen years, change
all it predilections, would be indeed extravagant ;
but still ,we have every reason to think that very
nearly all of the French people who have as yet
learned to think—a great majority, and certainly all
without exception who have learned to appreciate the
blessings of good government, a majority also—are,
like ourselves, friendly to peace—more friendly, be-
cause of the 'calculations which the late events have
forced upon their attention. Under a good system
of government, patriotically administered, peace is
always a blessing to all—and it is only under such
government that all the blessings of peace
are developed. But France has now such
a government for the first time since she was a
nation, as we have remarked, and is now also in
the enjoyment of peace, as far as Europe is concerned,
and no Frenchman in possession of his senses will
risk the loss of either, with the fair account of profit
and loss before him. Peace is the interest of all
nations—of Great Britian as much as of others,
though certainly pot more—but of peace the prospe-
rity and the contentment of Prance are the guarantee
to Europe. Every interest, general and particular,
binds us to promote the prosperity and to cultivate
the friendship of the neighbouring country. France
cannot be rich without making us richer in propor-
tion. France cannot be free and happy without

she will be, from
the effect of four short years of good government that
we witness.

THE LATE UNFORTUNATE EX-
PEDITION TO BORNEO.

FURTHER PARTICULARS.

(From the Friend of China' May 4.)
After leaving Semmirendan, we dropped down until
we felt the effects of the flood tide, when we anchored,
still lashed together, watching the boats that several
times attempted to close in. At daylight we weighed,
the boats firing at us from a point above ; but having
a fair wind, we made sail, followed by the boats,
until we reached that part of the river where the bar
is situated,' about thirteen miles from the sea. Here
we had to anchor in one of the four branches into
which the river divides, separated from each other by
narrow islands covered with jungle. Captain. Hart
went in his boat to sound, but found it would be
some hours before we should be able to cross. The
boats now took advantage of a point above us, and
opened a well-directed brisk fire upon us, raking both
vessels, cutting up the rigging and completely hulling
the brig. It was so- severe that at one time Captain
Lewis allowed no one on the poop but himself; the
poop gun being of no use. Boats were arriving in
great numbers every minute and crossing over out of
our fire, with the evident intention of passing down
one of the other reaches, and attacking us in the rear.
Seeing this, it was decided to move a little further
down, so that we could prevent them rounding the
point, and at the same time compel those boats above
us to come out, at least when they fired. In a short
time, as we expected, the boats came to the point now
abeam of us, though: not, as they expected, in our
rear, and received such a severe fire of grape and
musketry as compelled them to retreat; but they soon
returned with fresh boats, opening a brisk fire of
grape
.n bothlus vessels,ketryon us, but it was so warmly
thatre-
turned they were never able to
round the point_
turne dabnd
y

It was here, during this heavy cross fire, that Mr.
Murray was killed ; he was shot through the heart by
a grape shot, whilst pointing the schooner's midship
•gun. Two men, volunteers, came in the schooner's
boat for me, in spite of the heavy fire; but he had.
expired almost instantaneously ; the expression of
"My God !" was all he ever uttered. During the
whole of the action he was very active, going from
gun to gun, and encouraging the men, ho certainly,
behaved most bravely, standing to their guns, though
muoh,exposed in the hottest fires, returning their shot
with a. cheer, always ready for anything, though they
had nothing to eat but biscuit during the action.
The firing from the boats now slackened, it being
the first time that we had been able to get them
within the range of grape and musketry, and severely
great distance
felt it, their guns being long, and carrying a
distance remarkably correct. After about seven
hours hard firing at our anchors
officer of the schooner, with the 1; Mr. Garret, chief
rig's long-boat, and
a crew of volunteers, laid out a warp over the bar,
when both vessels lashed together and warped over
the bar. Though we grounded several times, yet with
a fair wind we got over safely, and made all sail for
the sea, which we could see about thirteen miles dis-
tant, still pursued by the boats, who kept firing at us
until we made a good offing about eight when
they fired their last shot, about thirty-four hours
after the first, the brig having fired alone 720 rounds
during the action. IVe now made all sail for the
Dutch port of Maned°, to refit, &c. Mr. Murray was
interred in his own flag on the morning of the 18th
of February, at sea.
The above is the simple and correct account of all
that occurred from our entrance until our leaving the
River Coti, of the death of our lamented leader, and
of our really wonderful escape out of this nest of
pirates. Nor do any of us.look back .on the scenes
through which we passed without thinking of the
conduct of our commanders, Mr. Murray, Captain A.
Hart, and Captain 11. Lewis, and feeling that respect
for their abilities, bravery, and coolness, which
brought us out of so much danger and difficulty : nor
of that of the other officers and gentlemen of the
expedition, who did their duty in most dangerous
situations.

From my being in both vessels during the action,
and intimately acquainted, through Mr. Murray, of
all that occurred, both before and during our stay in
the Ceti, and when not engaged with the wounded,
passing my time in assisting on deck, and being thus
able to see more what passed than a person confined
to one place and one vessel, is the reason why I have
taken the task of writing this upon me.
W. SAEL, Surgeon to the Expedition.

DISTRESSING AND FATAL
ACCIDENT;

It is our melancholy duty to record the particulars
of a most distressing accident, Which happened in
the neighbourhood
.of this city last Saturday after-
noon. .On that day, the Rev. Prebendary Medley,
vicar of St. Thomas, accompanied by Mrs. Medley
(his mother), the Rev. Prebendary Cornish, vicar of
Kenwyn, near Truro, and the lion. Mrs.-Shore, of
Mount Radford, a widow lady, and sister of the gen-
tleman last named, left St. Tho.nas for a drive, in a
double-bodied phaeton, drawn by a pair of horses.
They visited the chapel at Oldridge, which is a
chapelry connected with Mr. Medley's parish, and
were returning by the Whitstone.road, Mr. Medley
driving. At the top of the le

ieh,secyct descent begins, the horses started
al n e
Nadder Farm. The carriage swayed from side to
side, during the descent, and Mr. Aledley felt it would
be best to keep in the middle of the road. They went
on without injury until they came to the turn of the
road, when the carriage, either from the locking of
the wheel, or from coming in contact with a stone,
was in an instant broken in pieces, and the whole
party thrown violently upon the ground. Mr. Cornish
regained his legs immediately, and escaped with-
out injury, but Mr. and Ali's. Medley and Mrs.
Shore lay upon the ground in an utterly helpless
condition. 'With the assistance of a man named
Nichols, of Exeter, who was working in a field hard
by, they were removed as quickly as possible to the
house of Mr. Baker, at Nadder Farm, and a man on
horseback, who happened to come up at the time,
was instantly dispatched for a surgeon. Mr. Lyddon,
