RESTORED AND DEAFNESS CURED.
" Whitehall, March 8, 1838.
" Mr. Grimstone,—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 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
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 suggest:4on-
Thanks to your invention, that ope-
ration will not be necossary. 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,
St. James's-street, a 4s. 4d. and two 2s. 4d. canisters. You
can send the change in the parcel for the enclosed half sove-

reign. " J. B. L."
G. J. Guthrie, Esq., F.R.S. This eminent Surgeon and
Oculist has attested to the truth of this Letter.
Copy of a letter sent to Mr. Grimstone, Jan. 2,1841.
" Sir,—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 two 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 that you make this known for the good of
the public. Shall be happy to answer any inquiry.—(Third
Testimony.) " Your's, '6G.

"The Marchioness de Broglio Solari presents her best com-
pliments to Mr. W. Grimstone, and has the pleasure to in-
form him she has had the most convincing proofs of the be-
neficial qualities of Ida Herbaceous Eye Snuff; iu many-cases
of its restorative power, both of sight and hearing.

her name. Sept. 22, 1838. 46. Charlotte-street."

" 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
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.—I am, sir, yours gratefully,
" L. S. BREWER."

It is supposed that the mines in full work in Spain afford
employment to half a million of people,, and to 50,000 beasts
of burthen. The present year's revenue from the proceeds
of the same, at the rate of five per cent. yields 291,000 dolls.

AN AMERICAN AUCTIONEER " GOING" IT.—But this
is not the most curious point in an American sale. Instead
of a stately "going for one dollar," they use a very quick re-
iteration—" One dollar, one dollar, one dollar, one dollar,
one dollar," about five iterations, in a sort of chant, sung
through the nose, making one going, and every going making
one thump. Then the cash system, or coinage of the states,
affords a grand choice of diction in naming the bids. " Shall
I say one pound ? (says the auctioneer in Philadelphia.)
Shall I say two dollars? A dollar, 75 cents? Twelve levies ?
Shall I say a dollar and a quarter? Or a dollar and a levy ?
One dollar? Going (thump) for one dollar (thump). One
dollar, one dollar, one dollar, one dollar, one dollar; going
(chant all five dollars and thump once). One dollar and a
fip : going ; (thump) fip, fip, fip, hp, fip ; going, (thump).
One dollar and a levy ? Nine levies ? One dollar twelve and
a half cents ? Going (thump) for nine levies and a fip, going,
(thump), gone (hammer silent). Colonel Miriam Briggs,
it's yours." Colonel--I say' major, can yon give me change
out of this here dollar and a quarter ? Auctioneer—What
for, colonel ? Colonel (very loud)—WhY to pay, to be sure.
I always pay cash, in hard Jackson money, at auctions.
Auctioneer—Wish every one did so, colonel. Save consi-
derable of clerk-work. But you bought s:x, at one dollar
eighteen and three-quarters. Just comes to seven dollars
twelve and a-half. Six to every lot, right away. See the
catalogue. Colonel—Well, you done me nicely, I guess ;
slick as grease. And I'm noways slow myself, that's a fact.

more ?" " Oh, yes. I'll furniah you with another sketch
