OFFICE, 61, MOORGATE-STREET, CITY

THE Report of the Government Commissioners, and the
deep interest which has been expressed in Parliament,
and by all who have the safety of our navy, the success of our
commerce, and the protection of our seamen and fishermen
at heart, prove incontestibly the absolute necessity which
exists for the immediate reparation of all our present Har-
bours, and for the formation of at least 250 new ones. The
expense, which has hitherto been one of the insurmountable
impediments, no longer offers any
.obstacle, as by Captain
TAYLER'S meritorious invention this Company can form one
hundred and eighty. Harbours at a less expense than that
certified by the Government Commissioners, as the sum re-
quired by the old modes, for the formation of three. The
facility of construction enables this new Floating Breakwater
to be affixed. and harbours of refuge formed, on the most
exposed part of our coasts, where not only none at present
exist, but where also none other than by this method can be
constructed ; smooth water for the safe landing of goods and
passengers by steamers can be assured at all, even the most
exposed piers. The Directors have great satisfaction in
stating that they are in active negociation with several places
of the highest maritime importance, and that the Admiralty,
zealous for the promotion and success of the undertaking,
have already granted the use of anchors and ground moor-
ings to enable Captain TAYLER'S plan to be put in imme-
diate operation at Brighton.
Prospectuses and other particulars may be obtained at the
Company's Office; at the Solicitor's, 5, Size-lane, Bucklers-
bury ; and at the office of SOMERS CLARKE, Esq., Brighton;
where also applications for Shares may be made until the
30th of November instant, when the allotment will be made.

"Whitehall, March 8, 1838

" Mr. Grirnstone,—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 Bye Snuff. Its action on
the membrane of the nose, causing the lachrymal glands to
discharge in a manner truly surprising, and by that means
so cleansed 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 G. J.
Guthrie, Esq., F.R.S. recommended me to try your eye
snuff prior to my undergoing an operation. Many thanks to
him for his suggestion. Thanks to your invention, that ope-
ration will not be necessary. Sir, you have my permission to
make this known in any manner you may think best.
" I am, sir, your obedient servant,
" J. B. LACHFIELD.

" P.S. Be pleased to send to the Thatched House Tavern,

" Sir,—l have been a sufferer for seven years, both eyes
being so swollen as to cause blindness. Among the many
medical gentlemen who attended me was the famous oculist,
Dr. Alexander : indeed, I do believe my case was beyond all
their skill.- Physic, bleeding, blistering, with a seaton, and
all kinds of lotions, but no relief,' till chancing one day being
led by your house, in 39, Broad-street, Bloomsbury, my
guide inquired if I had tried your Eye Snuff, on which I
purchased a Is. 3d. canister, opened it in the shop, took
some, and was greatly relieved before I reached my home.
I can with truth assert, and make oath if required to do so,
that it was your Eye Snuff cured me. Shall be happy to
answer any inquiry.—l am, sir, yours gratefully,

" 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

This is my third testimony, and I shall be most happy to give
