Sir,—Having seen your advertisements, I inquired of some
of those gentlemen who have derived so much relief from
using " your Eye Snuff." I purchased a 2s. 4d. canister for
my son, who was suffering so much from the Head-ache and
Deafness ; before he had used half of it, he was cured,which
nabled him to follow his profession.—l am, yours gratefully,
M. HA C KETT.

" 10th December, 1840.
" 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 1 have had the first medical
advice; indeed, I have taken large quantities of medicine,
without receiving any relief; but -1 am now delighted to say,
with truth, that eversmce using your valuable eye snuff, which
1 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 Gith 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.-1 remain, with gratitude, sir, your obedient humble
servant, " E. ROBSON.

" 19, Bell-street, Edgeware-road, Marylebone."
P.S.—Sir, I shouli not do justice without stating my relief
was almost instantaneous. My Eyes became clear and free
from humour, and by persevering in its use very frequently I
am enabled to read small print without the aid of glasses, and
continue to enjoy God's greatest blessing—Sight ! free from
pain. I have reason to be grateful, and do recommend your
Eye Snuff to all I know. A. Z. M., Nottingham.

JAMES NORTH, Secretary

TO THE ELECTORS OF ST. PETER'S WARD.
GENTLEMEN,
WHEN von did me the honour to ELECT me one of
your REPRESENTATIVES in COUNCIL. I was
not sufficiently aware of the very stringeef nature of those
Clauses in the Municipal Act which reletito Contracts made
with the Corporation, and which inWhit any member of
Council, either directly or indirectly; from entering into-
such Contracts.
From the nature of the Business in which I am engaged,
and from its various and peculiar ramifications, I have more
than once, since I entered the Connell, been placed in a
painful position, lest I should inadvertently infringe the law ;
and as I cannot resort to any measures which, though they
may be legal; are, in my opinion, It violation of the spirit of
the Act. it appears to me, on a calm and dispassionate view
of the difficulties of my position, that the only honourable,
course I can adopt is, to.RETIRE from the COUNCIL.
It is with pain that I have arrived at this conclusion, not
you will experience any difficulty in finding a more
competent Representative, hut because it severs a connexion
which I felt to be an honour, and which I had hoped would
have been protracted.
I trust that the course which I have adopted will be cor-
dially acquiesced in • and although my determination will
render a NEW ELECTION necessary, (the turmoil of
which I much regret,) yet the preservation of my character
for consistency and integrity, both of motive and of action,
has required the sacrifice, that I may maintain that spirit of
independence, and that freedom of expression, which I have
hitherto enjoted, and for the loss of which nothing can be
an adequate compensation.
Accept my warmest thanks for the many acts of kindness
which you have displayed towards me, both in my public and
priYate capacity, and
Believe me to remain,
Gentlemen,
Your faithful and obliged Servant,
SAMUEL HOLME,

AND INDIA-

THE FIGHT AT KHYTUL

1 ins insignificant principality, the very name of which will
sound strange to English ears, has recently been the theatre
of some very singular and not unimportant transactions. It
is one of the " protected" Sikh states, 'contains about 216
villages, and yields an estimated revenue of 4,000 per annum.
Ocdcy Singh, its ruler, was a paralytic, and having no issue,
his territory, on his death, was to lapse to the East India
Company

A. few weeks ago his dissolution took place, and
arrangements were promptly made by the British authorities
for taking possession of the state. The Ranee of Khytur,
however, a woman of masculine mind and energetic tempera-
ment, had determined to offer the most strenuous opposition
to our views, and accordingly, on the t-

nice of the It

horse and loot, obeyed the Amazonian
and her Highness, taking up her quarters in
tort, began to apply to her soul the " flatter-
-

0,000 to 8,0(10 nit

cry " to arms

ing unction- mat sne was in a condition to resist us with suc-
cess. In the mean time, Mr. Clerk, the political agent, who
was at Thunnessur, and had of course received intelligence
of the Ranee's designs, summoned troops and guns from dif-
ferent places, with the view of subduing her warlike and un-
feminine spirit. Her Ladyship, however, suddenly changed
her defensive policy to one of aggression, and bent on " tak-
ing the initiative" iu the approaching hostilities, boldly -
tacked

two companies of the 72nd Native Infantry, who had
been stationed at Khytul on the death of the Rajah. The
conflict commenced by an assault made by some of her fol-
lowers on Captain Liptrott, the commander of the detach-
ment, and five horsemen, who had galloped out to visit the
pickets. Three of the horsemen were at once shot down, and
the remainder must have shared the same fate had it not been
for the prompt assistance rendered by the rest of the party,
who, on hearing the report of musketry, sallied forth to the

rescue of theircotnrades. A gallant tight ensued, but the
Seapoys were at length overpowered by numbers, and obliged
to retreat, which they did in good order, bringing off all the
wounded. On reaching the camp of Mr. Clerk, at Thun-
nessur, they found that a troop of her Majesty's 2rd Dra-
goons, and two guns of Horse Artillery, had been ordered
out to their aid; but the despatch of this force was now
countermanded, it being considered advisable to make the
movement against the Ranee in so strong a form as to sur-
mount all opposition, and insure the complete subjection of
the rebels. In a short time the exertions of the political
agent placed an army of upwards of 5,000 men, with siege
guns and artillery, at the disposal of the military authorities;
troops being ordered up with all possible expedition from
Delhi, Kurnool,. Umbullah, Loodianah, and other stations.
Our fair foe, however. iudeing k.
