From the John Bull, 6th 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.
Grimstone is simple, gentle, and certain, and by its unfailing
influence on 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 Soc.ety's Works, page 334,
this able oculist read several cases of gotta 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,
'ar, and the delicate organs of the head, to produce a certain

" There are,"perhaps, few articles which are so universally

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-

LATEST NEWS FROM AMERICA

By the arrival of the Britannia steam-shi

) we have

received New York and Boston papers to the Ist in-
stant, and Halifax papers to the 3rd instant, both dates
inclusive. The following are the most important ex-
tracts from these papers :

NEW YORK MONEY MARKET.

The foreign bill market was active. The rate on London
was Bc. to 81c., or 4dlrs. SOc. to 4dlrs. 82c. the £ sterling ;
on France, sdlrs. Inc. to sdlrs. 184 c. ; on Amsterdam, 40 ;
llamburgh, 36.1 ; Bremen 77-1 to 78. These rates were an
improvement of 1 to It per cent.
The stock market on the 30th ult. was rather heavy, some
descriptions declined, and others improved; North American
Trust and Bank fell off per cent. • United States Bank,
per cent. ; Stonnington, 14. Sales of bills on Baltimore were
made at a ; 2 discount on Philadelphia, 31c. 31 discount.

COTTON TRADE.
(From Bennett's Morning Herald.)

At this season of the year the attention of all interested in
this trade is directed to the probable yield of the crop. Last
year we published at this time a statement of the crop, putting
it at 2,200,000 bales. It was not, however, until January
that the public were convinced that the crop would exceed
1,800,000 bales. The result is, that 2,150,000 bales have
been received. This is the result of the high prices of pre-
vious years. During the past year
. prices have fallen slightly,
but the prices of supplies have fallen in a great proportion ;
and the stoppage of the public works and .improvements
generally, have released a large physical force, which has
turned back to agricultural pursuits. This will have a great
influence upon the crop of this year, as frequently the quan-
tity planted and matured exceeds the ability of the physical
force of the planter to " pick out." The accounts of damage
done to the crops are greatly exaggerated.
The crop has undoubtedly, in particular locations, sus-
tained injury. The accounts from the interior of Alabama,
Louisiana, and Mississippi, are very conflicting, giving evi-
dence that no general disaster has befallen the crop. The
season, upon the whole, has been favourable thus far. The
yield now depends upon the season after the frosts make
their appearance, which is usually about the fifteenth of
November. The present appearances are, that the crops
will not be much short of last year. The receipts of the new
crop are unusually large thus far, as follows :
At N. Or. to Sept 12, 14,377 Same time last year.... 7000
„ Mobile „ 19, 396 12
„ Savannah „ 25, 104 71 1/ 62

SUNDAY, Sept. 27.—This market has, since the arrival
of the last steamboat, been heavy, and prices have given way,
until a decline of per cent. may be considered as established.
The sales of the week reach about 2200 bales at 8 to 101 for
Upland and Florida ; Mobile 9to 101 ; New Orleans 81 to
11. In the southern markets there is a fair businesi doing.
At New Orleans the receipts of new crop reach 8000 bales,
being nearly 4000 bales more than was received at the same
period of last year. The old crop is nearly out of the mar-
ket. At Charleston, for the week ending on the 19th, about
600 bales changed hands at 8 to 10 cents.
MONDAY, Sept. 28th.—The market remains very quiet,
and prices about the same. Stock on hand, 7000 bales ;
sales Upland and Mobile at 8 to 10 c. ; New Orleans, at 8/
to 11 c, a few fine at 131 c. ; 250 do Mobile, at 81 to 11 c.
New Orleans, September 18, 1840.

Dear Sir,—You no doubt will hear a great deal of the ca-
terpillars (Noctua Gossippi) and its ravages on the cotton
crop, but the statements put forth are very much exaggerated
by the large speculators in the old crop, and parties who can
only be saved from approaching ruin by high prices. So far
destruction has been confined principally to the leaves and
tender part of the plant, on the plantations adjoining the su-
gar districts of this state ; but the lateness of the season will
put a stop to the operations of these allies of the speculators.
It is said they have appeared in some parts of Mississippi and
South Alabama ; but as the bolls are mostly so far matured
as to resist their attacks, no important injury is apprehended.
In every other respect the crop has the most favourable pros-
pects ; but all depends on the weather for the next eight or
ten weeks, whether the crop will be a moderate one or ex-
ceed last year's. This time last year the crop was estimated
at 1,600,000 bales, and as late as .January it was the opinion
of many well informed persons that 1,800,000 bales would be
the extent.

The receipts of new cotton to date far exceed those of any
former year. Up to this time it has found buyers at 9to 10
cents, and for fancy parcels higher priceshave been paid. Ex-
change on London 11 ; on New York, at 60 days sight 2 to 3
per cent. premium.
