You must understand,' sir, that I have for the last
Eve years suffered much with giddiness in. my head
and dimness of sight. I rAturally concluded (being in my
69th year) that it was the decay of nature, and was advised
by a friend, who said much in its favor, and the extraordinary
virtues of your celebrated invention, I was induced to give it
a trial, and I am happy to say that the great and signal benefit
I have derived from the use of four 2s 4d canisters has ena •
bled me to lay aside my spectacles, has given me great relief
in my head, and I feel so thoroughly convinced of its benign

• 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. LACHFIELD.

N AND DUBLIN MAIL COMMUNICATION

Ve do not think the great advantage to the general inte-
ts of the Chester and Birkenhead, and the Chester and
:we Railways, is fully appreciated. At all events, it is a
is on which we may well be excused devoting a little

e have now for a long time given an ardent advocacy to
uprovement of the mail and transit communication be-
i London and Dublin. Our views as to the best and
direct route do not appear at present capable of being
out. But these lines of railways realise the next best
s, therefore we trust soon to see them more used than
London and Dublin travelling. The palpable
may be briefly summed up to be—a shorter line
;e Grand Junction Railway terminating at Liver-
.e convenient landing from and embarking on board
on the Birkenhead than the Liverpool side the
;scellent and commodious hotels immediately con.
oil; to the. Birkenhead terminus of the railway—a better
;ss from the river for the steamers—the whole embracing
ving iu time, under judicious arrangements, from London
to Dublin, of at least one, if not two hours. The last is an
advantage which will be better appreciated in Dublin than
here, where the common complaint is that the English mail
very often arrives after the country mails have left the
General Post-office, Sackville-street. We are informed, on
good authority, that if this was adopted as the mail, or post-
office line, there would be a greater saving in the wear and
ir of the steam-packets. It is notorious they have better
lig on the Birkenhead than the Liverpool side the Mersey,
will be less danger of accidents by collision, such
befel the Media. There. would be not only,

therefore, a manifest saving of time to the public, but also a
saving of cost to the government. These are considerations
which cannot be long overlooked.
It may be asked, why—these advantages being so palpable
--,this should not be the mail or post-office line ? We are
not so

but culpability rests on-the General Post-office.
The tay lines have been open several months, yet even the
London, Chester, and Holyhead mail still " drags its slow
4mgth along'- : by way of Hartford, within sixteen miles of
caching. arriving in Chester very often after the passengers
,vho left London several hours later. If the post-office autho-
rities

sess power to compel the mails to be carried on
'asonable terms, this is inexcusable. If they
do not, it says little for the public spirit of any company that
throws obstacles in the way. But as this is a topic involving
the convenience of not only Chester and North Wales, but
also of nearly all Ireland, it is due to all interests that not
