Now, therefore, this is to give notice that the above reward will be paid, upon conviction, to anyone giving infor mation of ' any breach of the injunction.

The great advantage derived from this invention is, that vision becoming impaired is preserved and strengthened, and very aged persons are enabled to employ their sight at the most minute occupation —can see with those lenses of a much less magnifying power, and they do not re quire the frequent changes to the dangerous effects of further powerful assistance. Persons can be suited at the most remote part of the world by sending one of the glasses out of their spectacles in a letter, and stating the distance from the eyes they can read small print with it, and those who have not made use of spectacles by stating their age. Deafness.— New Discovery.—The Organic Vibrator, an extraordinarily powerfully small newly-invented instrument for Deafness, entirely different from all others, surpasses anything of the kind that has been, or probably ever can be, produced. Being of the same colour as the skin, is not perceptible. It enables deaf persons to hear distinctly at church and at public assem blies ; the unpleasant sensation of singing noises in the ears is entirely removed, and it affords all the assistance that possibly could be desired.-39, Albemarle-street, Piccadilly.

There is very little stock in hand, and no disposition on the part of manufacturers to make, except the most saleable goods, or to order. In the country districts, also, the hosiery trade con tinues dull. In yarns there is not much doing. NOTTINGHAM, 25th.—There has been very little doing in the lace warehouses this week, mo s t branches of the trade continuing quiet. There is less machinery at work, and no immediate return of activity is, expected ; manufacturers therefore carefully abstain from increasing their stocks. The hosiery trade, in all except the home depart ment, continues active; there are some good orders still on hand for the American market, but the home trade remains dull. Upon the whole, the hosiery trade generally is in a healthy condition. There are symptoms of a decline in the p rice of yarns. MODEL MOTHERS.—On Monday last two boys, apparently nine or ten years of age, were brought before the county magistrates by the parish constable, ch ar g ed with fighting on Sunday at Wednesfield Heath. It appeared that th boys had quarrelled before, and the mothers, who are sisters, sa id th ey thought it best ' that their sons should kilt it out, an d settle which was master.

The meeting was brought to a most successful close, and the committee have cause for gratulation at the success, which attended their labours. To the untiring exertions of Mr. Reynolds, the secretary, the satisfactory termination of the meeting may in a great measure be attributed. To the principal stakes numerous subscribers have already been obtained—a fact which significantly attests the popularity of the gathering. Lord Coventry and Mr. W. S. S. Craw furd have consented to act as stewards for the next year. The third steward, it is hoped, will be the Duke of Beau fort, who is very popular, not only on the turf but through out the county of Somerset. The weather was warm and favourable to the enjoyment of the sport, but no sooner had the proceedings been brought to an end than a heavy shower of rain fell. COUNTY AIEMBEE.S' PLATE (Tuesday).—Arcanum fell in his race, and Harrison, his rider, broke his leg. Flatman is making rapid progress towards recovery from his fall. IRELAND. DUBLIN, WEDNESDAY MORNING. ELECTION PETITIONS. It appears that the friends of Mr. Calcutt, the defeated candidate for Clare County, are collectiug subscriptions and making the other necessary preparations for a petition against the late return. Which of the sitting members is to be petitioned against is not stated. A Tory local paper regrets there is no truth in the report of measures being about to be taken to set aside the election of Sir John Acton for the borough of Carlow. It would appear that after all there are no reasonable grounds for reversing the decision of the constituency. ORDER OF ST. PATRICK. There was an investiture of this most honourable order yesterday in Dublin Castle, the Lord-Lieu tenant presiding as Grand Master. The Marquis of Downshire (Sir Arthur Wills Blundell Sandys Trumball Windsor Hill) the new knight, was duly installed with the usual pomp and ceremony. THE WEATHER. The 16ng continued drought had begun to excite some uneasiness in the Irish agricultural mind, and by all accounts the parched aspect of the country at the close of the month of May—proverbially wet and windy—afforded some grounds for the grumbling of the farmers. For nearly three weeks there had been little or no rain, nor was there the remotest indication of any change for the better. The wind seemed to have fixed itself permanently at the east, and out of the range of sunshine the air was harsh and ungenial. As the consequence vegetation was at a standstill, and the sanitary state of Dublin was just what might be expected in the chills of December or January. At a very early hour this morning, however, the aspect began to improve. About 4 o'clock the rain descended pretty smartly, and as the wind is veering to a favourable point, it is likely that we shall soon have an end of all complaints. GOVERNMENT PATRONAGE. Two gifts have just been placed at the disposal of Government—the first, the Chairmanship of the Sessions of the county of Clare, void by the death of Mr. William Malor, Q.C. ; the second is the Solicitorship to the Board of Excise, about to be, vacant by the retirement, after many years' service, of Mr. Mark Anthony Saurin, a son of the late Right Hon. William Saurin. The office has been conferred upon Mr. John George Smyly, Q.C. ; the emoluments are reported to be about £1,600 a-year, and the duties by no means onerous. Mr. Major had attained the patriarchal age of fourscore years, and retained all his faculties to the last. The Evening Mail gives the following as legal rumours :—" Mr. Sergeant Rowley, who is spoken of as the probable recipient of promotion, is a Roman Catholic, and in th e present state of rela tions between Cardinal Wiseman and the Derby Government the learned gentleman's elevation to the Bankruptcy Court could not take any party by surprise. It is rumoured that the Hon. Patrick Plunket, one of the Judges of the Court of Bank ruptcy, is about to retire. Mr. Plunket has been for some months in ca p ac it a t e d by severeillnes s from attending to the d u ti es o f his office, and i t is therefore probable that he his been called upon to The committee appointed at a Public meeting on Monday last met yesterday to devise practical measures for the organisation of a volunteer rifle corps in that town and neighbourhood. Sub committees were appointed for the various districts comprised in the hundred of Wirral, and a deputa tion was chosen to wait upon the Lord-Lieutenant and the Secretary of State for War, GLAMORGANSHIRE. In various parts of this county active steps are being taken to organise rifle corps. At Cardiff a public meeting, largely attended, has been hold, at which the Mayor, r, C. Q. Willl=3, presided. In opening the proceedings the chairman observed that the progress of events during the last 20 years showed the necessity of forming an efficient protec tion to the shores of this country, and lie raped a good fighting cars wclUld bo established in the town, On the motien of Mr. BIRD, solicitor, it was resolved those Wll9 WerP of joining should transmit their names to the town clerk, who would afterwards convene a meeting to consider and settle the required rules and regulations far the go-eminent of the corps. Jt was svitecl to the uniform, arms, a nd accoutrements of .the Exeter Rifle Corps would be the best to adopt, the total expense not exceeding £8 2s. 6d., including the new Enfield rifle. Since the meeting a consider ablp nninber of all nbstsaey havO Pritt 3 FP4 ti r 114aies as members. At Merthyr ajsa 4 corps is 10 process of formation. OXFORD. A numerous body of graduates and undergradu ates, interested in the establishment of a rifle club, met in the hall of Jesus College; in consequence of a requisition that had been sent to each common room. The senior members chose the following : The Provost of Queen's ; Mr. Tyrwhitt, Christ Church; Mr. Dyke, Jesus; Mr. Evans, Pembroke; and Mr. Du Boulay, Exeter ; the undergraduates selected Mr. Lane, Christ Church; Mr. Askell, Pembroke; Mr. Cullen, Brasenose ; Mr. Brassey, University ; and Mr. Griffiths, Wadharn, to form a joint committee of management. The -joint com mitttee subsequently transacted some preliminary business, having elected the ProvOst of Queen's chairman, and Mr. Cullen secretary. The feeling which generally prevailed was in favour of esta blishing a riffle club, which might exhibit a ten dency of merging into a corps. PLYMOUTH. A public meeting of the inhabitants, Mr. Skar don, the Mayor, in the chair, was held on Wed nesday in the Town-hall, which was nearly full. Mr. Hawer, whose father raised a regiment of militia in Plymouth in the present century, pro posed the following resolution, which was carried unanimously :--- "That this meeting is of opinion that it is highly desirable to form volunteer corps throughout the country ; and in accordance with this opinion pledges itself to assist in forming a corps of volun teers, to be called The Plymouth and West Devon Volunteer Battalion.' " It was subsequently determined to form prelimi nary committees and to raise voluntary subscrip tions. During the discussion Lord VALLETORT, the newly-elected member for the borough, Strongly urged the propriety of forming artillery corps 'for places situated like Plymouth. The fortifications mounted 300 guns, and would require 2,000 artil lerymen. Volunteers might be told off in detach ments of seven men to each gun. Much powder need not be used, for on board the gunnery ship Cambridge, in Hamoaze, rifles were fixed in the guns, and although in point of ditance the exercise might not be so advantageous, yet considerable facility was obtained. No doubt the Government , would appropriate some of the guns in the fortifica tions to the use of volunteers. At the battery on Picklecombe Point every accommodation' had been afforded, and four guns apportioned to the 28 men selected from the labourors on the Mount Edge. combo estate. His lordship concluded by moving. a vote of thanks to the Mayor. TYNEMOUTH. A meeting of the promoters of a volunteer rifle and artillery corps was held in the Town-hall, Tynemouth, on Tuesday night—Mr. Hugh Taylor, M.P., in the chair. In addition to the handsome subscriptions that had already been made, Mr. J. Straker increased his to 40 guineas, Mr. Alderman Poppelwell his to 15 guineas; Mr. Peter Dale sub scribed £25, and other gentlemen liberal sums. It was resolved that Mr. Taylor be requested to write to the Lord-Lieutenant, Earl Grey, requesting his lordship to sanction the enrolment of the corps; Lord Lovaine to be colonel, Mr. Hugh Taylor lieu tenant-colonel, and the officers to be ballotted from the ranks. Considerably above 100 young men have joined, and the first drill would take place last night. AN AT3TOSPHERIC PRINTING. TELEGRAPH. The above, with various modifications for general use, has been , invented and patented by a Mr. James Macnab, and evidently seems destined to be of great public utility. We saw a simple modifi cation of this telegraph, for steam or other ships working a few days ago in Messrs. W. and J. H. Johnson's patent office in this city ; and we now beg to direct the serious attention of shipowners, shipbuilders; and others to the merits and applica tions of this most useful and unusually simple in vention. Simplicity is not only a recommendation, but the working expense is literally nothing ; and we understand it can be depended upon in all sorts of weather. When we mention that the agent employed is simply atmospheric air, our remarks will be obvious. Other fluids or liquids can also be adopted, we believe. In this instance atmo spheric air is preferred, and two most simple in struments, which can scarecely get out of order, for conveying instantaneous signals for the sate navi gation of steamships or other vessels, are intended to he - placed, one instrument by the side of the helmsman, and the other on the hurricane deck, by the side of the captain or pilot. The two instru ments are connected below the deck, out of the way, by a very small bore atmospheric tube. A bell of small size is attached to the helmsman's instrument, and on certain given signals from the captain or pilot, or officer the helmsman is enabled to navigate the ship in safety. In large steam ships an instrument is intended to be placed also at the prow, or bow, for the lookout offi cer ; and in the largest steamers not more than two officers are necessary to 'give instan taneous signals of danger or a " ship-a-head," thus reducing tlae• liability to collision and danger from icebergs, shoals, mists, &c., and navigating the steamships or sailing vessels in perfect safety : For conveying instantaneous signals from captain or pilot to the engine-room or captain's cabin it is obviously of importance, from its principles being never failing in the hour of danger, and may entirely supersede the present crude system for such purposes. In fact, it answers the purposes of the wonderful electric telegraph, and has decided advantages over that system—viz., the working expense is next to nothing; it can be depended upon in all variations of weather, and for years without going out of order. The instruments and fitting•up are almost of nominal expense in comparison to the electric system. For message purposes calculations have beenmadeexpeitu that the tubing and laying , which is very won't cost much above £lO per mile —certainly a low figure ; and as it is laid a few inches under the surface of the earth, it is free from all danger, and not exposed to such contingencies as the electric wires. It can be applied, we believe, cheaply, for the ranging of bells in houses and hotels. and warehouses ; and for railway trains it f is admirably adapted, and al so or relaying pur poses, saving the expe nse o f a locomotive pilot ; also for communicating signals to fire-engine stations and mines, and various other uses. As it requires no attention to generate signal-agents, like the electric system, the being always self- charging atmospheric vessel rging instantaneously, it can therefore obviously_ a t all times be depended upon, which is a desideratum. We beg, therefore, to draw the attention of the scientific public and interested par ties to its merits, as we have no hesitation in saying, from what we have seen, that it is likely to confer advantages wherever adopted. —Glasgow Mercantile Advertiser. The advantages of volunteering. were exhibited yesterday in their most attractive form in a grand field-day of the Victoria Rifle Corps. Though by no means claiming the high antiquity which attaches to the Artillery Company, this really valuable body is one of the oldest of its kind, more than a quarter of a century having elapsed since it was enrolled as a rifle club. During this period, however, its exist ence was for a long time rather of a nominal kind, and it was not till the close of UM that it was allowed to assemble volunteers for regular drill, and with that wonderful tact which the Govern ment generally exhibits for in eking mistakes the number of volunteers was then ordered to be limited to within 300, at which strength the regiment still remains. 'this absurd limitation as to numbers will now doubtless be immediately abolished, and the admirable system upon which the corps has been organised allowed to develope itself to the fullest extent. The rules of this body are much the same as those of the Artillery Corapaty, bath regiments requiring at Laast 12 days' attendance for exercise and ruusfer in the year, and bath offering unusual fheilities as to time, &c„ to enable recruits to go through their preparatory drill. The uniform of the Artillery Company is scarlet, and precisely similar to that Worn by the Household troops ; and if the truth must be told, that of the Victoria Rifles, though simple and handsome in the extreme, is almost equally nn tied for riflemen, being nothing more PT 1,3:w. its general appearance than that of the Rifle Brigade, and than this a mow - unsuitable dress could not b e n ame d, For elarmishing or am bush parties—and rifteuien are intended for little more—a 1 . 3 141 uniform is about the w ors t th a t can pe v esibly be devised. The plain fact of all riflemen being trained from the first hour to aim at the black centre of a target should teach them the disadvan tages appertaining to a colour which their awn ex perience shows them is one of the easiest to hit when brought into close contact with other tints. With this corps, as we hope will be the ease with the regi ments now in prooesa of formation throughout the Country, ride practice is carried to perfection mere drill, though constantly practised and Ririotly eri; forced, is very properly regardod as subOrdiP.ate to the importance of marina each man a dead shot, and familiar with the variations of his weapon in any weather and at any distancz; The practice groun d of the regiment at Kilburn givesthe members a range of no less than 400 yards, and such practice has been made at this rather long distance that the Victoria Rifles claim to possess some of the best marksmen in the country. Though these riflemen muster on the roll to nearly 300 effective members, yet from various circumstances very many were prevented attending the field day . yesterday. The companies mustered at the London-bridge station, under the command of Capt. Jordan, First Lieuts. H. Busk and Greenhill, Second Lieuts. Collins and Dickenson, and thence proceeded by rail to Bal comb, a little below Reigate, one of the most pic turesque of the many charming spots upon the Brighton line. From Balcomb the regiment marched through the most lovely scenery to the seat of Mr. Robert Loder, at High Beeches, about three miles distant. It is scarcely necessary to state how the rural population attended in the line of march, and the spectacle, apart from its other merits, was a decided novelty, for, strange as it may seem, it was exactly yesterday 24 years since any volunteer corps had paraded in the " open' for service drill. The enthusiasm, there fore, on behalf of the corps was warm in the ex treme, and rose to such a pitch in the parish of Slaugham that on the hill which marked its boun daries the regiment was received by a deputation of its inhabitants and presented with an address, complimenting them on their patriotism, and wel coming the corps to one of the prettiest parishes in Sussex. After this ceremony had been gone through, and duly acknowledged by Captain Jordan, the files of the regiment continued their march to High Beeches, at the entrance to the grounds of which was a small but handsome triumphal arch, and un der this Mr. Loder and a numerous circle of the nobility and gentry of the county received the corps. Once arrived upon the lovely lawn, which overlooks one of themost exquisite bits of scenery in England, the rigid bonds of discipline were relaxed, and the companies allowed to abandon theMselves to the luxury of a substantial lunch, for which the march had admirably prepared every man of them. An hour was then given to rest, and to afford the gen tlemen an opportunity of- strolling through the grounds and enclosures of one of the most picturesque parks of its size in the county. A little after two o'clock the "assembly" sounded, and the regiment, j followed by a large circle of l a ii es and gentlemen,' marched through the grounds to an open space in High Beech Forest, where a crowd of srettators from the surrounding villages had collected to wit ness the evolutions. The spot seleked was as favourable for testing the drill of a rifle corps as could well be imagined. The ground was well wooded, thick with gorse, and traversed in unex pected places with the remains of what had once been waggon tracks. It was broken, too, here and there, if not agreeably, yet at least very suddenly, with marshy spots in which any but the lightest and most dexterous of infantry would infallibly have been entangled knee-deep. On this ground, how ever, the corps went through the usual field-day evo lutions of a rifle regiment, not only with precision, but with a rapidity and good order which reflected the highest credit on their training. Under ordinary circumstances it would be unfair, perhaps, to criti cise the movements of volunteers ; but the Victoria Rifle Corps can well afford to stand this test, and if there is a fault which they require to rectify it is not so much the rapidity with which they manoe uvre as the appearance of empressement under which' it is done. This is a very slight fault, and one which a couple of days' barrack drill would re move, and which, when got rid of, will place the corps on a par with any rifle regiment in the ser vice. The quickness with which they broke up and reformed was admirable, And their volley-firing was correct to a second. At the conclusion of the movements, which oceupied upwards of an hour, and which, from the very broken and deep nature of the ground, were harassing in the extreme, the companies Marched back to High Beeches. Here, upon the sloping lawn beneath the mansion, an _im mense marquee, long enough for a rifle gallery, and decorated throughout with garlands and evergreens, had been erected. Along the whole extent of this a double row of amply furnished tables had been laid, which accommodated not only the corps of Rifles, but an almost equal number of visitors, whim the hospitable owner of High Beeches had invited to do honour to the occasion. At the con clusion of the repast the toasts of " The Queen," " The Victoria Rifle Corps," " Captain Jordan," " Captain Norton," and, though last not least, the host, " Mr. Robert Loder," were duly given and most enthusiastically responded to. The company then adjourned to another part of the park, where a rifle target had been erected, and where at a range of 300 yards over undulating and most deceptive ground the skill of the marksmen of the corps was rigorously tested. The practice made at this dis tance was most admirable, especially when it is considered that the' bull's eye was not three feet diameter, that all the gentlemen were fatigued, and their rifles excessively foul with the blank cartridge firing of the day. Yet, not withstanding all these drawbacks, the shots were in all case s goo d , and in some excellent. Dur ing this practice the old objec:ion which has been so often urged against the Enfield rifle as to the difficulty of loading it when foal was dis played in all its force. After the first or second shots more than one third of the gentlemen firing were obliged to retire from the competition in con sequence of being utterly unable to force their bullets down the barrels. The balls used on this occasion, however, were the old gauge—viz., 0 . 567. The new bullets are being made by Government to the gauge of 0.550. This reduction, nevertheless, seems in practice to be still insufficient. Captain Nuthall has improved upon it by leaving the cone and bore of the ball at 0.550 gauge, by hollowing out the intermediate portion so as to allow the bullet to pass down with the mere weight of the ramrod, yet expand on firing sufficiently to fill the grooves without leading the barrel. When the regulation ammunition was useless yesterday his bullets were used with ease in loading and wonderful precision in firing. At the close with of the rifle practice Captain Norton fired at a target to show the action of his shell-bullets filled whitilichwhat is termed liquid fire. The experiment, which was made with a very good breech-lookt byng Leech, was or , from some unexplained cause another, not quite successful. At seven o 'cloc'.c the corps reformed, and with three mo s t ent.kusiastic cheers for Mr. Loder marched througk the grounds and returned to the Balcomb station. Everything passed off in the most pleasant and gratifying manner, and, setting all other considerations aside, we can only say that if the Victoria Rifles have field days such as yesterday it must decidedly be the most eligible corps into which a gentleman can volunteer, and it is not likely now to be overlooked. The Liberals make S up a lar 'c v- 4 t 2 7 -1, t i They have r accorai ng to the es g 4173.112;" VIZ political arithmeticians, a clear 641, to 50 votes. All this reads reinu„ K * ;—:.; -._ we cannot, therefore. be surprised ai-tlpeonantiS. cipations whic:t return to. office. But "counting noses," as rat, phrase runs for that 'which has been the great occu pation of the Whig underlings for the last few days, is a process which, infallible enough in estimatin g a herd of swine, is very far from reliable in taking stock of political resources. There are perhaps 347 gentlemen in th e new P arl i ament who style them selves "Liberals ;" b u t it i s a very greatmistake to suppos e that they are to be disposed of as any three howeve r , i s Or fo ur o f the Liberal leaders may think fit. This, just what the good people have been calculating who clamour so vehemently for an im mediate onslaught on the Government, and who hope, by means of a vote of censure, no confidence, or abstract resolution signifying nothing, from the mint of Lord Sohn Russell, to come again into the enjoyment of the fieshpots of Downing -street. It is really an act of charity to at once undeceive these eager expectant s , as well as - one of prudence. If they go on indulging their delusions, and find sud denly all their hopes blasted, they may, in their desperation, do mischief not only to themselves, but also to others. In the first place, thirty of these 347 Liberals are in direct opposition to the party upon the only one question upon which it is at all united. Th e majority, therefore, becomes at once a minority, whichican annoy but not injure. But if by any strange chan ce th ese recusants s h ou ld return to the communion, and take their places as ordinary mem bers of the party, the union does not become com plete. Undoubtedly, if another Reform Bill be brought in by the present Government next year, it may be possible to mite the party in opposition ; but, dealing with circumstances as they are, anti looking at the qUestions which during the next two month will come before Parliaindit, all chance of a union of the Liberal party in an attack upon the Government is impossible ; and the fact that it is impossible is honourable to those members of the party who make it so. Any attack upon the Government at the present time could only be factious. Both in their home and foreign policy they have expressed the general sentiment of the country, and any vote of censure would only be dictated by personal ambition. Besides the thirty who, by their votes on Lord John Russell's resolu tion, ih fact expressed their confidence in the Go vernment, there are more than fifty members of the Liberal party who would decline to support any mere factious motion—not so much, perhaps, with the majority of them, from any sympathy with the party in power, as from the belief that they are at all events better than any one who would succeed them. The Manchester party is, for instance, strongly opposed to the Ministers upon Reform, but it is still more strongly opposed to Lord Palmerston upon, both reform and foreign policy ; and whilst it is disposed to act with Lord John Russell on reform, it altogether distrusts him as a Foreign Minister. Mr. Cobden once publicly regretted the part he took in the overthrow of the former Administration of Lord Derby ; and, as the question of our foreign policy has become that of the day, we may feel confident that the members of his school will join in no vote of censure merely springing from Lord John Russell's ill-regulated ambition. The same may be said of Mr. Roebuck (who, indeed, distinctly avowed his confidence in the Government), and many other unaffiliated members of the Liberal " majority." Mr. Massey's speech at Salford the other day would warrant us in ranking him amongst those members of Parlia ment who think more of the necessity of maintaining the honour and interests of their country than of mere party successes; and there are more who might be classed in the same category. There are, besides, many independent Irish Liberal members who have distinctly professed their intention to support the Government, and upon whose assistance, in the event of any such factious attack as has been threa tened, Ministers might confidently rely. The opposition "majority," therefore, disappears as soon as it is examined ; the plain truth being that in the new House there are 347 gentlemen who cannot give the Government a general support. Thirty of them identified themselves with the Government on the Russell question ; 60 or 70 are perhaps at issue with it on " Reform," but are dis posed to act fairly towards it, and would refuse to join in any party movement for its defeat. About 250 remain, divided in their allegiance between 'Lord John Russell and Lord Palmerston. Assuming their harmonious action, the Government would meet them with a compact and united band of 300 supporters. Lord John has therefore, at. present, little chance of " looting" the Treasury.-211orning Chronicle. P.R ESENTATIONS AT COURT. (From Punch.) The persons named in the following list write to 211 r.
