The Marchioness de Broglio Solari presents her best com-

Copy of a letter sent to Mr. Grimstone, July 9, 1838.
Sig,—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. •

March 31, 1838.
SIR,—I 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 d'dighted 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 63th year of
my age.
TMs is my third testimony, and 1 shall be most happy to give
it to you or to any respectable inquirer at my residence as
under.---I remain, with gratitude, sir, your obedient humble
E. ROBSON.

Sir —I think it my incumbent duty to return.you my grate-
fedotlooolodgmento of tho 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 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 sin 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
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,

Mr. Grimstone,—Sir, I thinkW it but justicearc thatB, I Ishould
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 I 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,

A pension of £5OO per annum reverts to the civil list by
the death of Sir Robert Baker, formerly chief magistrate of
Bow-street. Sir Robert had been in receipt of the pension
nineteen years.

SINGULAR CIRCUMSTANCE.—On Sunday last, no less
than six sermons were preached by six different clergymen,
at six different places of worship, in these towns, from the
same text, " Remember Lot's wife !"—CornwallGnzette,

A. destructive tire broke out, on Friday night last, in the
carpet manufactory of Messrst Machtnichael, at Bridgenorth.
About eleven o'clock the flames were seen to burst forth from
the windows, and so rapid was the conflagration, that in 15
minutes after the fire was discovered the roof had fallen in,
crushing in its progress the whole of the machinery, destrol-
ing upwards of £5OOO worth of property, and throwing desti-
tute from 200 to 300 hands.

SINGULAR PHENOMENON.—At Elting-ham, Northumber-
land, on the 9th inst. from 12 to 2 o'clock, there was a tre=
mendous hailstorm, accompanied with heavy peals of thun-
der. The snow was actually above two inches thick in some
parts, and the people were making snowballs on the 9th of
July—a thing which never occurred before in the recollection
of the oldest person in Ellingham.—Berwick Warder.
Mr. Greg has, it appears, on account of ill health, expressed

Three gentlemen are spoken of as probable successors to the
honourable gentleman on the same (the liberal) side, viz.,
Mr. Villiers, Dr. Bowring, and Mr. Milner Gibson, all corn-

fered honour.—Evening paper.
FROST, JONES, AND WILLIAMS.—The Mandarin, convict
ship, Captain Muddle, which sailed from Falmouth on the
28th of February last, with Frost, Jones, and Williams on
board, arrived at Simon's Bay, Cape of Good Hope, on the
4th May. On the 30th April information was given that it
was the intention of the convicts to take possession of the
ship, and carry her to America; and John Black, a convict,
was to navigate the ship. One of the guards was in the plot.
THE WEATHER.—The weather in this district continues
of the most unpropitious kind : nothing but rain, and heavy
rain too, accompanied by occasional cold winds, day after
day. In the early part of last week a good deal of hay was
housed, but since that time no progress has been made, and
the grass which is cut must, we fear, be beginning to take
harm. St. Swahili was a rainy day, and the believers in the
evil influence of such an event seem likely enough to have
their prejudices strengthened.—Blackburn Standard.
NATURAL CORIOSITT.—A duck in the possession of the
Rector of Slaidburn, about a fortnight ago, hatched eight
ducklings, one of which had three perfect legs, and is now in
the possession of Mr. Jackson, surgeon, at Slaidbnrn.
