GRIAISTONE'S EYE SNUFF.—Under the
Patronage of his late Majesty, her Royal Highness the
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.
The 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
Orimatone'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. Lach-
fiew, Est.'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 recensmends its use as a preventive. See his
reports in Nov. Mt. 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.

4' Dear Sir,—l feel bound by a sense of justice to inform you of
the miraculous cure effected on myself by taking a few pinches of
the far celebrated Grunstone's Eye Snuff; which, is my case, ought
rather to be called' Ear Snuff;' it having effectually relieved me from
a deafness from which I have been suffering for many years. You are
at liberty to make any use you please of this communication, since I
should much regret if the extraordinary qualities of your Eye Snuff
were net universally known.

NEW INVENTIONS IN DRESS AND
USEFUL LUXURIES.

The forms and varieties of costume, and the multi-
plicities of elegant articles of personal and household
luxury, have attained to such high artistic perfection,
that one can hardly, with justice, refuse to the in-
ventors the merits and honours hitherto exclusively
accorded to the professors of what are designated,
par excellence, the fine arts. Sculpture, painting,
poetry, and music, will not much longer be allowed
to monopolise the fame and glory of the fine arts—
they must condescend to share them with the other
branches of creative genius. At this moment, visit
the capital of the Russian empire, admire the fault-
less form of some fascinating princess, as she passes
you on her prancing steed, the chances are you will
be told she is indebted for more than half her ele-
gance to the Messrs. Nicoll, of Regent-street, who
are the artificers of her splendid riding-habit. See
the Emperor himself in his sable pelisse, looking, as
he does, every inch a monarch—you will be in-
formed that he too has received the embellishments
of his outer man from the same London fashioners.
To the Prussian metropolis, likewise, Prince William
bears with him many samples of the perfect taste of
these artists, while the young and handsome Duc de
Montpensier is about to astonish the Parisians with
novelties in dress derived from the same 3ourco. Talk
of poets and painters—here is, indeed, a substantial
European reputation. Take another instance. Enter
the boudoir of some fair aristocrat ; note the rare
collection of superb bijouterie that surrounds you on
every side, the glittering albums, the fancifully em-
bellished writing-desk, the gorgeous inkstands, the
matchless vases of Bohemian glass and other crystals,
the innumerable nick-nackeries, brilliant and beautiful
beyond expression—with each and all of these the
name and fame of Messrs. Barry and Son, of the
Egyptian Hall, are linked as indissolubly as those of
Corregio and Rafraelle with the Magdalene and the
Saint Cecilia. Examine the perfumed notes of invi-
tation and the visiting cards that adorn your drawing-
room table, and mark the admirably-emblazoned
crests of the fair senders engraved and painted
thereon; these, too, proclaim the art and skill of these
inventors of all that is brilliant in such articles of
luxurious fashion. Upon taking up Mrs. Postan's
agreeable work, "Facts and Fictions, the other day,
we were much amused with a description of the
anxiety and impatience evinced by the ladies of Bom-
bay, on the arrival of each vessel from Europe, to
possess themselves of the latest inventions of the cele-
brated modestes, Mesdames Herbault Nieces, of the
Rue Menard, Paris. Not a pelisse, nor a mantelette,
nor even a ribbon, would one of them select until she
had heard the last fiat pronounced by these oracles of
extreme got2t. Here is a fame, not merely European,
but universal. The renown of Alexander the Great
reached not so far eastward as that of these famous
Parisian milliners. Remark any strikingly delicate
green, porcelain blue, or dahlia-tinted silk,
of surpass-
ing richness. Infallibly you will be answered
that they are the produce of the looms of Lyons,
and that they have issued from the magazine
of Messrs. Gay and Denis, Rue de la Vrilliere, Paris.
The inventors of novelties in dress and useful luxuries
have no right to complain of any want of apprecia-
tion in the present generation.

THE THIRD PART Or MR. BURKE'S DICTIONARY
OF THE LANDED GENTRY has just appeared, and carries
the subject down to letter R, inclusive. One more Part
will, consequently, complete this great national under-
taking, which will comprise the vastest store of genealo-
gical and historical information ever contained in a
single work. Almost every distinguished actor, in
public as in private life, is recorded in its pages ; and
the details it affords of the antiquity and eminence of
the families of our country gentlemen go far to prove
their superiority to the much vaunted Noblesse of the
Continent. The present Part is replete with much cu-
rious regarding the Septs and Clans of Scot-
land
the information and anecdote

EXTRAORDINARY AND DANGEROUS FRAT.—SatUr•
roaktetb,
day evening, about four o'clock, a large crowd of persons
IPesYtoen', Roundell, &c., &c.
were collected in Sackville-street, in consequence of see-
ing two young men standing on the top of Nelson's
Pillar. One of them, a fine young fellow, about sixteen
."
or seventeen years of age, began to ascend the figure,
and after " tugging awe) for some time, he succeeded
in getting on the " capstan" which is placed behind
the colossal statue of the great naval hero ; from
this position it was not very hard to ascend the
figure itself, which the lad accomplished, and having
looked round him for a moment, he seated himself
with the greatest apparent complacency on the head of
the figure, where he continued several minutes waving
his cap. lie then raised himself and stood on the head
of the figure, first on both and then on one foot, in
which perilous situation he remained several minutes,
whilst the most painful anxiety existed amongst the
observers for his safety. flaying descended, his
companion. who appeared somewhat his senior in
years, and who was dressed in a frock coat, went
through a similar evolution ; and then both ascended
the figure together, and taking hold of each other's
hand, they stood, with one leg (each) for a con-
siderable time on the granite head of the immortal
Nelson. It was blowing a very strong breeze, and it
was painful to witness the dangerous position of the
youths at this moment ; but they descended without any
accident, and on coining into the street they were loudly
cheered. They refused to give their names—nor would
they say if the feat was done for a wager, which is sup-
posed to be the ease.—Dublin Freeman.
UTILITY OF CONSTANT STUDY.—In my youth I
was very much devoted to reading ; and even now, old
as I am, I employ in it all the moments of leisure left me
by State affairs. Tho things of this world are too nu-
merous for a man who lives in the ninth story of his
palace to be able to know them. If he reads books, and
there informs himself of the actions and proceedings of the
ancients, he will find the means not to make many mis-
takes in his administration. For more than fifty years
that I have reigned, I have committed but few errors, and
I owe this advantage to reading.—Captain Pidding's
