DISEASES OF PERSONS ENGAGED IN SNUFF
MA NUFACTORIES.—M. Pointe, physician of
the Hotel Dieu at Lyons, in a paper reel by
M. Patissier, to the Royal Academy of `Tedi-
eine in Paris, observed that the fabrication of
snuff is not so injurious in France as in Spain
and England, because it is made after the tobacco
has been moistened. He then added, that
having kept, for seven years, an exact register of
the diseases with which the manufacturers of
snuffs at Lyons were attacked, he found that the
diseases were inflammatory : inflammation of the
respiratory organs, and particularly of the
mucous membrane of the bronchi, chronic gastro-
enteritis, dysentery, ophthalmia, rheumatism,
carbuncles. On the contrary, the exhalations of
the snuff appeared to him to preserve from scro-
fulous affections and intermittent fevers. The
reporter here observed, that M. Pointe differed
completely from what had been long since ad-
vanced by Ramassini, and recently by M. Merat,
on the narcotic effects of the exhalations of
tobacco. According to them, not only the
workmen, but even those persons near the menu-
flietory, would be greatly injured by it. In
order to remove all doubt from this subject, he
had, in conjunction with M. Burdin, jun. visited
the manufactory of Grossillon, where twelve or
fifteen hundred workmen are employed. He
had .seen them of every age, of both sexes, enjoy
the most perfect health ; it was true that the
tobacco was moistened. He had questioned the
oldest workmen and the superintendents, and he
was told that for the first few days
they are
seized with headaches, nausea, cholic and diar-
rhoea, but that these complaints soon cease ;
with the exception of those who are accustomed
to chronic diseases of the chest, no workman is
ever ill.—At chives Generales.

LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE.—Sept. 11.

Until last Sunday the wind was unfavourable for ar-
rivals ; it then changed to the westward, and enabled the
vessels near at hand to get in on that day, on Monday,
and to-day ; the supply they brought has not been great.
This day's market was but indifferently attended by dealers,
who were cautious purchasers. Good Old Wheat and
Oats fully keep their price ; middling and inferior are dif-
ficult to sell, at a trifling decline. New Irish Wheat was
fully 3d. per bushel lower, and Oats about id. In other
articles there was no alteration worth notice.
