RESTORED AND DEAFNESS CURED.
Nottingham, 28th August, 1841.
This extraordinary cure is attested by Mr. Jas. Wilcockson,
Foreign Snuff and Cigar Merchant, Nottingham.

To Mr. W. Grimstone, 39 ,13road• street,Bloomsbtry,London
Sir,—l feel great pleasure in sending you the particulars of
my case, and the miraculous cure performed on myself by
your valuable Eye Snuff. Sir, lam now in my ninety-third
year. and a native of Holland. have been in this country 26
years ; whether from change of climate, or my advanced age,
I cannot say, but for six years I have been deprived of sight,
therefore unable to follow my business. Ido most sincerely
believe I should have remained in darkness and pain, but for
the kind recommendation of a friend to use your invention.
1 purchased a 2s. 4d. canister of your Agent, Mr. Wilcock•
son, Tobacconist, who knows the above to be facts, and will
bear witness to my extraordinary recovery of that most esti-
mable blessing of our life—" perfect sight"-1 declare has
proceeded from the use of your Eye Snuff. For the sake of
those suffering, you may make what use you please of this
letter ; Mr. Wilcockson and many others will vouch for its
truth. -I refer the sufferers to this gentleman, being your
Agent, and so well known in Nottingham.

Abstract of a Letter from Mrs. L. S. Brewer, Dressmaker
3, Edge-terrace, Kensington Gravel Pits.
" To Mr. Grimstone, Inventor of Eye Snuff.
" sth December, 1840.

" 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
sonic, 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,
" L. S. BREWER."

To Wm. Grimstone, Esq.
November 6, 1841

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 cnred,which
nabled him to follow his profession.-1 am, yours gratefully,
M. HACKETT.
Mr. Banister, Surgeon, 2, Cross-court, Broad-street.

To TV. Grimstone, Esq., 39,_Broad-street

' 10th December, 1840

" 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 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
smallest print, although I am in the 67th 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.—l remain, with gratitude, sir, your obedient humble
servant,
- - "E. ROBSON.

" 19, Bell-street, Edgeware-road, Marylebone."
P.S.—Sir, I should 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.

Havannah, 14th August, 1811

Dear Sir,—l had the pleasure to receive in due time your
friendly correspondence and supply of Eye Snuff on the 15th
of August, also the 13th October last year; however, from
my extraordinary increased consumption of your delightful
compound of herbs known as Crimstone's Eye Snuff, I take.
the liberty of asking you to forward by first ship 1500 more
cases same as last. Sir,—l have enclosed you a bill, sixty
days' sight, Messrs. Pinto Perize and Co., Crutched-friars,
London. I further thank you for the appointment received
through the Spanish Consul, Don Pedro Ortiz de Zugasti,
at the court of Grcat Britain. Please to send the above
Snuff with all possible speed, with a large quantity of Spanish
testimonials. This article has become a favourite amongst
the first circles of nobility and gentry, both for its medicinal
and benign qualities. Indeed it appears to keep off diseases,
as well as cure them, if taken as other snuffs. .1

CHINA AND INDIA

THE FIGHT AT KHYTUL

This 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. IS
is one of the " protected" Sikh states, contains about 216
villages, and yields an estimated revenue of 4,000 per annum.
Ocdey 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 demise of the Rajah,
took immediate measures for the collection of troops, and for
placing herself in a position of defence and security. From
6,000 to 8,000 men, horse and foot, obeyed the Amazonian
cry " to arms," and her Highness, taking up her quarters in
a prttty strong fort, began to apply to her soul the " flatter-
ing unction" that she 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" in the approaching hostilities, boldly at-
tacked two companies of the 72nd Native Infantry, who had
been stationed at Khytul on the death of the Rajah. The
conflict commenced by au 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 theircomrades. A gallant fight 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 tbeir 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, Kurnaul, Umbullah, Loodianah, and other stations.
Our fair foe, however, judging prudence to be " the better
part of valour," decided on avoiding a contest with a body of

men so superior to her own in point of discipline and equip-
mPnt anti 1z...s fully rplirPrl t rn nr; rtre

leaving the fort in which she had ensconced herself to be
occupied by our victorious troops.

The above occurrences have created a great stir in the sur-
rounding country, and the natives of Kurnaul especially were
at one time so terrified at the proceedings of the belligerent
parties, that they began to remove and bury their money and
other valuable property. It must not be supposed the Boa-
dicea of Khytul acted wholly without assistance. The Rajah
of Ladwa, another of the " protected" states, furnished her
with 200 horsemen ; the Nawaub of Koongpoora is also men-
tioned as an accessary ; and rumour has even dared to whis-

COLONEL STODDART AND CAPTAIN CONOLLY.—We sub-
join an extract from a Loodianah letter received on Thursday,
which holds out a hope that the two persecuted officers whose
names we have mentioned may be yet alive :
" Loodianah, March 23, 1843. _

"The report last month was, that Colonel Stoddart and
Captain Conolly had been murdered, but there is a Jew here
who declares that they are still alive, and that he heard from
a brother of his at Bokhara, who told him that a Greek in-
terpreter and a slave, who had been for months confined in
the same well with them, were taken out and executed, and
the populace made to believe that they were Colonel Stoddart
and Captain Conolly. The man has very good testimonials
of character, and has offered, without reward, to convey a
chit to them, and bring hack an answer in the course of five
months."—Bombay Times.

DEATH OF COMMISSIONER ELEPOO.—We regret to have
to state that Elepoo, the Imperial Commissioner, expired at
Canton on the 4th inst. For some time past his Excellency
is said to have been in weak health, and his great age was
little suited to the active and harassing duties imposed on
him by his government. All negotiations for the details of
the treaty must now necessarily cease until a new commissio-
ner shall have been invested with the powers recently held
by Elepoo. We hear it surmised that this commissioner is
likely to be Keying. and that it is probable all further nego-
ciations will be carried on in the north, whither we hear it is
Sir Henry Pottinger's intention to proceed immediately after
the arrival of Major Malcolm, with the ratification of the
treaty. Messrs. Morrison, Thom, and Captain Balfour are
already on their way down from Canton, their business there
being for the present at an end. The most singular stories
are afloat among the Chinese regarding the death of the Com-
missioner ; according to some he has been poisoned, and
others even say that so onerous were to him the duties of his
office, that in a moment of disgust he broke his own. bead
with his inkstone (the stone on which the Chinese prepare
their ink.) We mention these merely because they ex►st,
but do not believe them entitled to the slightest credit. In
Canton, although people still speak of the existence of a hos-
tile spirit, business goes on uninterruptedly, and considerable
shipments of teas are, we hear, being made. His Excel-
lency Sir Henry Pottinger and suite arr►ved at Macao from
Hong-Kong on Thursday evening last.—Canton Free Press,
March 11.

SERIOUS AFFAIR AT CALCUTTA.--A most serious case
of assault, attended with loss of life, is at present engaging
the atention and inquiry of the local police. It regards an
affair which was accidently brought to light, and involves the
death of a young man named Peterson, caused by a brutal
assault committed on him. While dressing the corpse the
undertaker, Mr. Yeathard, found marks of violence on it, and
these exciting his suspicions, he gave information of the cir-
cumstance to the superintendent of police,
through whose
agency and that of his acting deputy the leading particulars
of the case have transpired,
the chief of which are as follows:
—The deceased and a youn-
g man named Eastman were
associates and mutual visitors at the house of one William
Grey. They had, however, some cause of dissatisfaction and
disuute together, the innocent cause of which was Miss Grey.
The consequence of this was, that Eastman, as it is affirmed
hired a posse of bravos, who on the night of the 27th of March
attacked Peterson in the street and inflicted a most cruel
beating on him, fracturing his skull, and rendering him insen-
sible. These parties are said to be Portuguese young men,
some of whom have been taken into custody, as also has been
Eastman. Peterson was removed to Grey's house and atten-
ded to. He continued in a pecarious state two or three days,
but no sooner was he alittle better, than he was removed to
his family, who where residing at Sealdah. Here he was
slowly getting round, but as be was one evening promenading

before his door, for the sake of exercise, he was suddenly set
upon by the same ruffians as on the former occasion, and
again most barbarously assaulted. In a few days the poor
young man died. It is the opinion of the medical gentimen
who examinad the body that the cause of death was the frac-
ture of the skull produced by the violence of the first occasion
The body was taken into town, and a coroner's jury assem-
bled ; but the enquiry was not proceeded with, as there is
a doubt whether, the death having occurred beyond his juris-
diction, the coroner can legally interfere. The inquest, there-
fore, was adjourned, and the case ultimately referred to the
Allipore Court.
