ANOTHER CURE OF COUGH AND OPPRESSION OF THE
CHEST, THIS WEEK, BY
DR. LOCOCK'S PULMONIC WAFERS,
From Mr. J. Sergeant, Bookseller, Linton, Jan. 7, 1850.
" Gentlemen,—Mr. Mitchell, of Abington, a respectable cooper,
for upwards of twelve months has been suffering from a Cough and
Oppression of the Chest. He has been under the treatment of our
neighbouring surgeons, without receiving any benefit; but, strange
to relate, before he took half the contents of a small box of Dr.
Locock'e Palmonic Wafers, he experienced almost miraculous relief,
and has since continued in the enjoyment of health to which ha had
previously for a long period been a stranger.

Venders.

GRIM STON E'S AROMATIC
REGENERATOIt.
If you are in want ef that beautiful adornment of the human
figure, a natural supply of human hair, obtain through the post, or
of any wholesale or retail chemist or druggist, or perfumer, an 11 s.
bottle of Grimstone's Aromatic Regenerator. This is an essential
spirit, drawn from aromatic herbs and flowers (grown at his Her-
bary, Highgate), which has been long known to the nobility and
gentry, by whore it is highly appreciated for its manifold virtues, too
numerous to be set forth in an advertisement, but may be read in his
pamphlet, in which the bottles are enclosed.
Each pamphlet has the signature or William Grimstone, Merchant,
Herbary, Iligheate, and will be found at page 11, un?‘er the copy of
Mrs. Weekly's Letter to the Editor of the Times" newspaper, 7th
of August, 1846.
This pamphlet is forwarded through the post, on receiving two
postage stamps.
The Aromatic Regenerator can be forwarded through the post on
receiving a post-office order for 4s. 6d., 7s. Bd., or 125., which in-
cludes the postage with the case.
The 11s. size contains four of the 4s.
A few of its many virtues, as thousands can prove, are published
In the pamphlet enclosed with each bottle.

POSTAL COMMUNICATION BE-
TWEEN LONDON AND PARIS.
In a day or two will be published the report of the
Select Committee appointed to inquire into the best
means of accelerating and improving the postal commu-
nication between London and Paris. We will venture
to anticipate the report of that Committee upon the
strength of knowing the names of its members. Where
we find such persons as Mr. M•Gregor, lair. Moffatt, Sir
James Duke, Mr. William Brown, Mr. Mackinnon, Mr.
Henry Baring, &c., called together to consult upon a
very simple question of business arrangement that any
two men of business of the average amount of brains
might dispose of in a morning's consultation, we will not
do them the injustice to suppose that they will arrive at
any other conclusion than the one which the country
has a right to expect at their hands. As to the general
tenour of their report we trust there is no doubt that it
will declare the route by Boulogne that which must
henceforward be preferred. Whether or no the starting
point from the English coast shall be Dover or Folke-
stone is a question upon which a certain hesitation
may well exist until it has been accurately inquired
into. On the one hand, Folkestone is, geographically,
better situated; on the other, Dover is the better
harbour. Folkestone harbour is, however, suscep-
tible of great improvement, and probably, if there
should be a contract formed with the South-Eastern
Steam-packet Company for the water transit, it would
be found more convenient to them to take Folkestone as
the starting point. Other considerations there are, we
believe, such as the heavy port dues exacted at Dover,
which no doubt the Committee will take into account be-
fore arriving at a final decision. We look to the report
to clear up our hesitations on this point, and upon the
further one of whether it would be the more economical
and the more effective course for the public service to
come to an arrangement with the South-Eastern Steam-
packet Company for the water transit, or to prefer the
official carriage afforded by the Admiralty; with the
advantage of recent experience on other lines, we can
have little doubt that the system of private contract an-
swers best; but when we have the facts and figures be-
fore us. with which no doubt the Committee is prepared
upon these two inoot points, we shall be in a condition
to express an opinion upon the matter more satisfactory
t our own feelings, and more beneficial to the public

Reader, reflect for a few minutes, and if you are 40 years of age
you will remember the thousands of blind you meet with in your
walks, others with various coloured eye-shades; indeed, such was
the demand for eye-shades, that it was a business. What has re-
moved those sightless beings, and given place to a straightforward,
clear-sighted people (the climate is the same) ? I'll tell you the caase
—the universal use of Gemstone's Eye snuff ! and because it cured
Ophthalmia, Gutta Serena, Catar et, Nervous Headach, and Deaf-
ness, the Lords of the Treasury directed it to be denominated a medi-
cine, and to be stamped. Although this advanced its character, 67
cases of cure being proved by the informers, still it was an act of
oppression ; as in 1825 the Solicitor of Stamps, Godfrey Sykes, Esq.,
altered the label, and sanctioned its sale under order of the Lords of
the Treasury; the letter of protection, signed by Herries, Fsq., to
Mr. William Gemstone, bearing date 18th February, 1525. This was
on account of its curative qualities, being sold at that time ii canis-
ters, within the reach of every poor family. But under this order of
Government it is obliged to be stamped.

sent one ; its main office is to declare a forgone con-
clusion in a manner so emphatic that their i ecommen-
dation may at once bear fruit in action. It is somewhat
discreditable to the good sense of all parties concerned,
that we should be now occupied in the preparation of a

We do not, however, believe that the anticipated blue
book will contain a single fresh fact or figure of any im •
portance for the settlement of the question. In the
columns of this journal all the data really necessary for
fie solution of a very simple commercial problem such as
this have appeared over and over again, and over and over
again have we pressed them upon public, attention with
all the earnestness the importance of the subject deserves.
At the risk of being thought a little tedious, we will
here once again recapitulate the main points of the ar-
gument. It is 82 miles from London to Folkestone ;
27 miles from Folkestone to Boulogne ; 169 miles from
Boulogne to Paris. In other words, the distance from
Londonmiles. Now let us take the Calais route. It is 88 miles
from London aoris by Folkestone and Boulogne is 278
Dover; from Dover to Calais 23 miles;
from Calais to Paris by railway, via Lille, 235 miles ;
that is to say, from London to Paris by the route now
taken by the mails it is 346 miles. It is f'B miles from
London to Dover, from Dover to Boulogne 28,
from Boulogne to Paris 169 —in all 285
miles. These figures would seem at once to
be decisive on the question, unless some very
strong ground indeed connected with the Channel pas-
sage can be shown for preferring the longer to the
shorter route. Now, what are the facts? Let us con-
fine our attention for the moment to the rival routes of
Dover and Calais, and Folkestone and Boulogne. No
doubt Calais is preferable to Boulogne as a harbour.
There is much less necessity at the first-named port for
open-boat work. The average duration of the passage
from Dover to Calais is nearly lh. 40m.; from Folke-
stone to Boulogne it is about 2h. 10m. The average the
reverse way is—Calais to Dover 2h. Om.; Boulogne to
Folkestone 211. Om. The average both ways is, between
Dover and Calais lb. 50m.; between Folkestone and
Boulogne 2h. sm. Thus the difference of average is ex-
actly 15m.—or, to speak largely, let us say 20 minutes.
Certainly this is not a set-off which should induce us to
prefer the route which is longest by seventy miles.
But it is said greater regularity can be obtained
by the Calais than by the Boulogne route.
11pon this we would remark in the first place, that
unless the amount of irregularity be very consi-
derable this position will not bear investigation. Much
better would it be that the French bags should be dis-
tributed by the early delivery for 290 working days, of
the year, and somewhat later on the other 23 delivery
that they should be sent round by the mid-day y
upon all the 313 days during which Englishmen labour
and toil every year of their lives. Be this, however, as
it may, let us see, in point of fact, what is the difference
of irregularity between the two routes. We are writing
with tables before us on this subject, which have been
very carefully prepared for a pamplet published in the
this year, to "
t
commencetnen. 0 which we have already
called attention in the course of this controversy. We
will content ourselves with stating results. The number
of irregularities in the year 1848 by the Boulogne route
(not referrable to causes, such as the revolution, &c.)
was 32; by the Calais route in the year 1849, 26; that
is to say, the Boulogne line is -worse than the Calais
line by six irregularities. On the hand it Is superior,
inasmuch as it is well nigh 70 miles shorter, and the
mail bags are conveyed along it in two hours less time
than via Calais and Lille.
Our limited space forbids us to enter into those details
which no doubt will appear set out at length in the re-
port of the Select Committee. We refer especially to
the system on which the transit of the bags is at present
managed, and the one upon which it might be managed,
within the French territory. The general heads extracted
from the time tables are as follows:—The maximum
speed obtained between Paris and Calais is now 7, it
used to be 8 hours; from Calais to Paris it used to be 7,
it is now 6t. The maximum speed between Boulogne
and Paris might be 4.1
distanceßoulogne is
n performed by ex-
press in 2 hours 15 minutes. esupposin_ g this rate to be
maintained between Amiens and Paris, the time occupied
on the whole journey, would be 5 hours, and a fraction
longer on the "down ' journey from Paris to Boulogne.
We come to the following conclusion from the facts
we have adduced, as well as from others of the same
kind—that the distance between Paris and London
should be accomplished for postal purposes in a time
ranging between eleven and twelve hours. Say that
the bsgs which leave Paris at 8 o'clock P.M. could be de-
livered in London at, say, 7i 1-31• the following morn-
ing, it would be well enough. Now, we have no manner
of doubt that such a result can be obtained by transfer-
ring the mail-se
• rvice to Folkestone and Boulogne. Thus
the London merchant would have the whole business-day
to answer his French and southern correspondence;
and the foreign and Indian bags would be forwarded
at once down to the great seats of commercial in-
dustry in the provinces without the loss of a • whole
day, as at present. The question of the alte-
ration o the Calais route is simply one of
time, just like the abolition. of Smithfield market, or
i itramural interments, or any other great public
nuisance. 01 course, it is right tha there should b-
itiquiries, and that what all the world knows already
should be put into an official and au horitative
form before it be officially acted upon. But never had a

THE PERIWINKLE TRADE.—II would hardly be
supposed that so trifling an article of consumption as peri-
winkles could form a matter of extensive traffic; but so it
is. sometimes as many as 50 or 60 tons of these little shells
are brought at a time to our quay from the island of Ker-
vera, opposite Oban, where they abound, and arc gathered
by the poor people, who get 6d. a bushel for collecting
them. From this they are shipped to Liverpool, and thence
by rail to London, to satisfy the insatiable maw of the modern
Babylonians. Very few are retained here in transit, as the
popular taste for " whilks and buckles," is not so strongly
marked in our population, and better profits are conse-
quently obtained in London, even after paying so much sea
and land carriage.—Glasgow Paper.

MANCHESTER TRADE REPORT, MAY 2.—The
market to-day has presented no material variation from
Tuesday. Spinners and manufacturers are very firm in de-
manding an advance, and the consequence has been that a
very small amount of business has been transacted.
