SIGHT RESTORED!-NERVOUS HEAD-ACHE
AND DEAFNESS CURED!

By the meet simple, delightful, and fragrant Compound!
Its mode of application is fraught with pleasure ; many thou•
sand cures have been accomplished by its use, at a trifling ex-
pense, yet certain in its operation. If testimonies be necessary
toi n duce the sufferer to make trial, Kings, Lords, and Com-
mons have used it. The Lords of the Treasury have sanctioned
its use. Their late Majesties, 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" Grimstone's Eye Snuff,"
for its efficacy in removing all diseases incident to the Eyes and
Head. G. J. Guthrie, Esq., F. R. S. See J. B. Lachfield,
Esq.'s Letter, Whitehall. Dr. Thomas. Dr. Andrews ealls
it a national blessing—see his Reports touching its utility. The
late Mr. Abernethy, with many others, recommend Grim-
stone's Eye Snuff, and call it " Man's best Friend," and the
" Student's Vade Mecum."—See the many thousand Letters
of Testimonies, of undoubted medical authority, with others of
the first respectability.
Nottingham, 28th Aug., 1841.
This extraordinary cure is attested by Mr. James Wilcockson
Foreign Snuff and Cigar Merchant, Nottingham.
To Mr. W. Grimstone, 39, Broad-street, Bloomsbury, London.
feel great pleasure in sending you the particulars of
my case, and the miraculous cure performed on myself, by
using your truly valuable Eye-Snuff. Sir, I am now in my
93d year, and a native of Holland, have been in this country
26 years. Whether from change of climate, or my advanced age,
I cannot say, but for six years I have been deprived of sight,
therefore unable to follow my business. I do most sincerely
believe I should have remained in darkness and pain but for
the kind recommendation of a friend to use your invention. I
purchased a 2a. 4d. canister of your agent, Mr. Wilcockson, to-
bacconist, who knows the above to be facts, and will bear wit-
ness to my extraordinary recovery of that most inestimable
blessing of our life—" Perfect Sight"—l declare has proceeded
from the use of your Eye Snuff. For the sake of those suffer-
ing, you may make what use you please of this letter, Mr. Wil-
cockson and many others will vouch for its truth. I refer the
sufferers to this gentleman, being your Agent, and so well
known in Nottingham.
I am, Sir, your obliged servant,
28th Aug. 184!. ANNIS ZENIA MA SSENIA.

P. S.—Sir,—l should not do you justice without stating my
relief was almost instantaneous. illy eyes became clear and
freed from humour, and by persevering in its use very fre-
quently I am enabled to read small print without the aid of
Glasses, and continue to enj god's greatest blessing—Sight !
free from pain. I have reason • grateful, and do recom-
mend your Eye Snuff to all I know.

• Manufacturer, by Special Appointment to her Majesty,
his Royal Highness Prince Albert, their Graces the Dukes of
Somerset, Northumberland, Argyle, and Montrose, the Dow-
ager Duchess of,Bedford, and numerous families of distinction,
33, Strand, begs to acquaint the Nobility and Gentry that he
has succeeded in constructing a Tooth-brush upon a new prin-
ciple, which for the preservation of the teeth and gums and du-
rability, excels any ever yet offered. The fastening is composed
of corded silk anti India rubber, by which it is impossible for
the hairs ever to come loose in the mouth ; they are the only
kind that can be warranted from corroding; persons frequently
get bad teeth and gums from these causes, the corrosion being
poison to the breath, and cancer to the gums. Families in town
and country supplied carriage free, with every kind of sponges,
brushes, brooms, turnery, mats, horse clothing, blankets, lea-
thers, and every requisite for the use of houses and stables, of
the very best quality at wholesale prices, 40 per cent. under any
other house in England. Families in the country can have a
list of wholesale prices by a post-paid application, 33, Strand.

STRAWBERRY HILL.

The road to Twickenham on Wednesday gave us a minatur,
fore taste and assurance of what we shall see, in the course of :
few:days, on the road to Epsom. The attendance was at leas,
threefold more numerous than on any previous occasion.
The bidding went on slowly apd steadily until lot 60 wa,
brought out. This, it may be remembered, is a curious old
jewel, consisting of a golden heart set with precious stones, and
ornamented with emblematic devices and Scottish mottoes. It

formerly belonged to the Lady Margaret Dougl;, and was
preserved by her as a souvenir of her husband, Lennox, the
Regent of Scotland. This lot was sold for 130 guineas.
Lot 66 was the beautiful rosewood cabinet, which was de-
signed by Horace Walpole, and ornamented with those won-
derfully expressive carvings in ivory by Verskovis, who ob-
tained so great a reputation in his day. This magnificent
meads fetched 120 guineas.
Several lots of minor importance were next sold, but nothing
worthy of any especial notice until lot 77, the Raffael
which is so exquisitely illuminated, and richly ornamented
with rubies, turquoises, and large cornelians. After a hard
struggle, it was knocked down to Mr. Forster, for 110 guineas
The bell was next brought out, and was rung by order 01
Mr. Robins, in order to let the world know that it was at
length about to pass away from its resting place at Straw-
berry-hill. As everybody has either seen this tintinabulum,
or read the numerous and elaborate descriptions of its
beauties, we need not detail them here. The bidding started
at 100 guineas, and was kept on gradually between an agent
for Mr. Beckford and Mr. Forster. The latter at length bore
away the bell for 240 guineas, and immediately after it was
bold, every one was seen paying or receiving bets, which it
appears had been laid in great numbers that it would
be sold for at least 1,0001. The seal of his insolvent
Mr-i•sty of Corsica was not held in very high estimation, as it
was sold for six guineas. The quaint old silver tea-kettle, with
lamp-stand, and other paraphernalia, fetched 295. per ounce,
which greatly exceeds the price which was paid for the pla-
teau, which was ornamented by Hogarth's own hand. Foster
nextgave fifty-two guineas for King Henry the Eighth's dagger,
with its calcedonix case and handle, and shortly after he pur-
chased the Julio Clovio missal for 4'20 guineas. This valuable
volume contains the Psalms of David, written with a pen on
fine vellum, and is superbly illuminated by Julio Clovio. The
extraordinary brilliancy of the illuminations, and wonderful
manner in which they have retained their colour and effect after
a lapse of so many years, has been the theme of very general
astonishment and admiration.

A BILL TO EXCLUDE THE BO-

ROUGH OF SUDBURY FROM SENDING BUR-

GESSES TO SERVE IN PARLIAMENT.
[NoxE.—The words printed in Italics are proposed to be in-
serted in the Committee.]
Whereas, the privilege of electing Members of Parliament
is a trust held and enjoyed for the benefit of the public ; and it
is right and expedient that any constituency by whom such
trust shall have been abused, for purposes of private advantage
and emolument, should cease to the same ; and whereas
open, general, and systematic bribery and corruption prevailed
at the last election of Burgesses to serve in Parliament for the
borough of Sudbury ;—Be it therefore enacted, by the Queen's
most Excellent Majesty, by and with the advice and consent of
the Lords Spiritual and Temporal, and Commons, in this pre-
sent Parliament assembled, and by the authority of the same,
that the borough of Sudbury, in the county of Suffolk, shall,
from and after the passing of this Act, cease to elect and
return any Burgess or Burgesses to serve in the High Court of
Parliament.
