kindness of P. S. MURPHY, M.D., deliver an hour's
LECTURE illustrative of this Figure, SATURDAY next,

early application will be necessary to insure Tickets, which

NOTICE TO CARRIERS, BOATMEN, &c. &c.
MANCHESTER 8r SALFORD JUNCTION CANAL.
THIS CANAL, which connects the Rochdale Canal (just
above the fourth lock from Knott Mill) with the Mersey
and Irwell Navigation, (near the Old Quay,) Manchester,
will be OPENED to the Public from add after MONDAY
NEXT. By this means, all the navigations of Yorkshire,
Derbyshire, Cheshire, Staffordshire, &c. &c. will have a
direct communication with the Bolton and Bury Canal, and
the Mersey and Irwell Navigation, (which is deeper, wider,
and several miles shorter, than any other line,) to Warring-
ton, St. Helen's, Runcorn, Liverpool, &c. &c.
The Junction Canal has the advantage of double locks,
which will considerably facilitate the passing of vessels,
thereby avoiding an inconvenience which has hitherto caused
serious delay. The tunnel (which is short) is well lighted
with gas every 20 yards ; there is also a towing path the whole
length ; and, for the convenience of vessels using this line,
men will be in readiness, if required, for the purpose of
hauling them, and assisting them through the locks, for which
a charge will be made not exceeding sixpence each vessel, or
a farthing per ton.

Rates Cie tonnage, and any other information, may be had
on application at this office.
Junction Canal Office, No. 116, Water-street,
Manchester, May 26th, 1840.
N.B.—lt is arranged, that all vessels passing through the
Junction Canal, and using the Mersey and Irwell (Old Quay)
Navigation to Liverpool, Runcorn, Warrington, &c., shall
not be subject to any greater charge for tonnage than if they
passed along the Rochdale to the Bridgewater Canal.

CAPTAIN PIDDING'S TEAS.
T
II E accounts lately received from Macao, brought intelli-
gence of the English having been totally expelled from
China, and that hostilities had actually commenced between
Her Majesty's forces, directed by her Superintendent in
person, and Chinese men of war; in other words, China is
at war with England. And the questions upon which the
two countries are now at issue being of ``such difficult adjust-
ment as to render it almost impossible, and certainly impro-
bable, that any more teas can be obtained from China for a
very considerable period, a great rise in all descriptions of
that article has taken place. Since June last, common black
teas have risen Is. 9d., and fine green, 3s. per lb. Fine
Hyson, with duty, fetched at the late public sales, 9s. 7d. per
lb. ; fine black teas as high as 6s. 7d., whilst up to this mo-
ment, Captain Pidding has continued to allow his teas to be
sold without any advance whatever. The late great rise,
however, having caused a run upon his teas by the trade, who
found that they could purchase them cheaper retail than
they could buy inferior teas wholesale, he is compelled to
raise the price, to prevent his remaining stock being purchased
by tea dealers. For the present, Captain Pidding's HOW-
QUA'S MIXTURE will be sold at the rate of 6s. 901. per lb.,
being 9s. the catty, or an advance of only 9d. per lb., when
the commonest teas, since June, have advanced ls. 9d. per lb.
HOWQUAPS SMALL LEAF GUNPOWDER will he sold, for the
present, at 9s. Pd. per lb., when even Hyson, an inferior tea,
is fetching, wholesale, 95. 7d. per lb. Half and quarter
catties in like proportions.
Captain Pidding thinks it right to inform the public that
his Chinese correspondent states confidently, that there is no
probability of the trade opening with that country; for, at the
least, twelve months ; and as the entire stock of consumable
tea iu Great Britain will be exhausted before that period,
there is little doubt but tea will advance daily.
These Teas consist of Captain Pidding's HOWQUA'S
MIXTURE, of 40 rare Black Teas, and HOWQUA'S
SMALL LEAF GUN POWDE R,in Chinese Catty Packages.
N.B.—The signature of " Captain Jose RHODES PID-
DING" is upon every genuine package.

SIGHT RESTORED !
NERVOUS HEAD-ACHE CURED !,
GRIMSTONE'S CELEBRATED EYE-SNUFF,
Under the patronage of his late Majesty, he ROyal'High-
ness the Duchess of Kent, and the Lords he neasuryo
IS universally recommended by the Fa ty for its efficacy
in removing Disorders incident to t e Eyes and Head.
It will prevent Diseases of a Scrofulous Nature affecting the
Nerves of the Head. In cases of Nervous Head-ache it is
comple • efficacious, and gives a Natural Sweetness to the
r ~ , may be taken as frequently as other Snuffs, with
he . -rfect safety and gratification to the consumer.
W. i e eyes every morning with warm milk and water, to
rem ,e whatever secretion may have been produced during
the night. ,
Dr. ABERNETHY used it, and termed it the Faculty's
Friend and Nurse's Vade Mecum.
Dr. ANDREWS also recommends its use as a preventive.
(See his report when in Sunderland, published in the Times,
Cheltenham Journal, and British Traveller, in Nov. 1831.)
He says, " the herbaceous quality of the snuff had such effect
on the stomach, as well as the nerves of the head, from the
tenacious sympathy of the membrane of the nose with the
nervous system, that Grimstone's Eye Snuff, when taken
frequently, must prevent Any contagion entering the system,
and recommends its universal adoption. Dated Nov. 10, 1831.

From the John Bull, Gth May, 1839.—We copy the 'fol-
lowing from the Cheltenham Journal, being struck by its re-
ference to that eminent and successful oculist, James Ware,
Esq., F.R.S., whose opinion touching the subject of which
he treats will be read with interest. The discovery of Mr.
Gritnstone is simple, gentle, and certain, and by its unfailing
influence ou the nervous fabric of the head, possesses the un-
questionable power of relieving, assisting, and prolonging the
sight even to extreme old age.—Editor.
Cheltenham Journal, 22d April, 1839.—" That most emi-
nent oculist, James Ware, Esq., F.R.S., was so strongly im-
pressed with the utility of snuff not made of tobacco, that in
the third volume of the Medical Society's Works, page 334,
this able oculist read several cases of gutta serena cured by
the plentiful use of snuff. This snuff was made without the
aid of tobacco, that being too great a narcotic to be used as
a remedy. The anticipations of this' gentlemen have been
fully realised by Mr. William Grimstone, the Inventor of
Eye Snuff, made. from aromatic herbs, so judiciously ar-
ranged as in almost every case of disease touching the eye,
epr, and the delicate organs of the head, to produce a certain
cure."—Editor.

" There are, perhaps, few articles which are so universally
used as snuff, and various and innumerable have been the
devices to tickle our noses at the expense of our pockets, but
there is only one snuff—albeit many have been attempted—.
which has proved of any value, or indeed realised the inten-
tion of the consumers. Grimstone's Eye Snuff is a delightful
and fragrant compound, and possesses properties peculiarly
its own; for, unlike all other snuffs, it is really of essential
and important service to persons of studious habits, and of
weak and infirm sight ; and if we may judge by the numerous
medical gentlemen who have borne testimony to its merits,
and the many well authenticated cures it has performed, it is
not undeserving of the high esteem which it has already
attained, not only in this but in other countries."—Old Eng-
land, 111 h January, 1840.
"We should be glad to see this snuff in general use. It is
a safe and powerful restorative.—Manehester Chronicle.
" GRIMSTONE'S EYE SNUFF.—Notwithstanding the sys-
tem of puffing which is carried on in this vast metropolis, we
rsally must claim for Mr. Grimstone the distinction of being
a benefactor to his species. We have had ocular demonstra-
tion of the value of his snuff, which we tried out of curiosity,
having at the same time a slight affection of opthalmia, which
the use of the snuff very speedily removed. We therefore
cordially recommend it to the public.''
—Crown, Aug. 26,1838.
" If any testimony were wanting to prove the efficacy of
Grimstone's Eye Snuff, we should be most happy to throw
ours into the grand scale of demonstrations and proofs already
possessed by the inventor. Literary men, and individuals
accustomed to sedt,atary habits or-iong reading, vvi/Ifind this
snuff invaluable in keeping off headache, dizziness, &c. &c.

Gopy of a' letter sent to Mr. Grimstone, July 9, 1838.
Stn.,—Having been afflicted with bad eyes for a long time,
a friend who had received benefit from using your eye snuff
recommended it to me. I have taken the contents of your
2s. 4d. canisters, and am happy to say my sight has im-
proved; the weakness and dimness is removed ; and, sir, it
is my wish wish that you make this known for the good of
the public.

TO Mr. TV. Grimstone, inventor of Eye Snug, 39, Broad-
street, Bloomsbury. _

March 31, 1838.
have been afflicted for many years with a severe
pain in my head, attended with a dimness of sight and dart-
ing pains in my eyes, for which I have had the first medical
advice ; indeed, I have taken large quantities of medicine,
without receiving any relief; but I am now delighted to say,
with truth, that ever since using your valuable eye snuff, which
I have taken copiously, that is, a 2s. 4d. canister weekly, I
am quite free from those excruciating pains, and can read the
smallest print, although I am in the 65th year of my age.
This is my third testimony, and I shall be most happy to give
it to you or to any respectable inquirer at my residence as
under.—l remain, with gratitude, sir, your obedient humble
servant,

Sir,—l think it my incumbent duty to return you my grate-
ful acknowledgments of the efficacy of your invaluable " eye
snuff. You must understand, sir, that I have for the last
four or five years suffered much with giddiness in my head
and dimness of sight. .I naturally concluded (being in iny
69th year) that it was the decay of nature, and was advised
by a friend, who said much in its favoi, and the extraordinary
virtues of your celebrated invention, I was induced to give it
a trial, and I em happy to say that the great and signal benefit
I have derived from the use of four 2s 4d canisters has cm-
bled .me to lay aside my spectacles, has given me great relief
in my head, and I feel so thoroughly convinced of its benign
virtues, that my gratitude shall ever be evinced in recom-
mending it to all I may hereafter meet suffering with those
afflictions.—l am, sir, your most obliged and grateful servant,
To W. Grimstone, Esq, ANN COLE.
To W. Grimstone, Esq. inventor of Eye Snt(f, 39, Broad-st.
Whitehall, March 8, 1838.
Mr. Grimstone,—Sir, I think it but justice that I should
offer my acknowledgments to you for the great benefit I have
derived from the use of your most exquisite fragrant com-
pound; composed of herbs, called Eye Snuff; its action on
the membrane of the nose, causing the lachrymal glands to
discharge in a manner truly surprising, and by that means
to cleanse the cornea, that my eyes became healthy, strong,
and performed their wonted duties in a manner that 1 have
not known the blessing of for six years. The renowned Dr.
Guthrie recommended me to try your eye snuff prior to my
undergoing an operation. Many thanks to him for his sug-
gestion, thanks to your invention, that operation will not be
necessary. Sir, you have my permission to make this known
in any manner you'think best.
• I am, sir, your obedient servant,
J. B. LACHFIEI.D.
P.S.—Sir, be pleased to send to the Thatched House Tav-
ern, St. James-street, a4s 4d and a3s 4d canister. You

reign. _ J. B. L.
