THE INVISIBLE OPERATIVE VOICE CONDUCTOR, effected by the Messrs. S. and 13. SOLOMONS, OPTICIANS and AURISTS to the ROYAL FAAHLY, 39, ALBEMARLE-STREET, PICCADILLY, by which thousands of deaf persons have been greatly bene fited, is the size et a seven-shilling piece, and when fixed into the cavity of the ear is soft and easy, and not more perceptible than having a piece of wool in its place, by which the faintest whisper at a public assembly is heard with distinctness: And defective VISION is brought to nature by the use of newly invented SPECTACLE LENSES; immediately they are placed before weak and imperfect eye-sight, either by day er candle light, every object becomes clear and distinct, and the most minute particle is seen Kith great distinctness ; by the use of which both the sight and hearing become much improved. The Messrs. S. and B. SOLOMONS disclaim all con nexion with persons of the same name, and the sale of am ber spectacles ; the pernicious use, of amber spectacles being now well luviwn to the public, and tke vendor being aware of it, he has therefore altered their name, by leaving out the worst " Amber," and calling them " Patent Spectacles." Those which he terms " Patent Spectacles" are no other than those of amber ; the history and destructive use of that mate rial for Spectacles to imperfect vision is fully and most satis factorily explained by the undermentioned scientific authority: From the " Dictiona7 of Arts and Sciences" of Andrew -Ure, M.D., F. R. S., &c., &c. " Amber is an indurated vegetakle juice, and not produced by the laws of crystallisation, but by the same cfillics which influence the mechanical condition of gum. Insects are often found embedded in it. Amber is most powerfully electrical by friction—very hot, to such an extent as to explode into frag ments ; the workmen, too, are subject to nervous tremors in their wrists, arms, &c. ; they encounter great danger by handling such dreadful excited electrics ; amber grows with lime, and is apt to take fire, and is of such a soft nature when exposed to warmth, that it swells, bubbles up, and will burn away with flame." The above Dr. lire's statements are further confirmed by Sir D. Brewster and Pliny, as also by Parks and Herns, on Lhe mistry. The destructive effects of such a material for specta cles, to imperfect vision, may be ascertained at any respectable Optician's in London. The Messrs. Solomon:' newly invented Spectacle Lenses are not constructed of such a material ; but which are very supe rior, and bring back at once dimness of sight and imperfect vision to its original and natural state. These Spectacles, and very small Voice Conductors for deaf persons, are -nly to be had at their establishments, 39, Albemarle-street (opposite the York Hotel), and 76, King William-street, Bank.

And I must quit all this ?' was one of his latest reflections." The two following notable illustrations of the vanity of earthly possessions are too remarkable and too perti nent to be omitted on the present occasion. In the prefatory chapter of Florian's Gonsalve de Cordova we find the following striking passage : " The renowned Abdermi, Prince of the true be lievers, put on record the following evidence of the vanity of immense wealth and illustrious rank :—‘ Fifty years have elapsed since I became Caliph, during which time I have possessed and have been satiated with honours, riches, and pleasures. Rival Monarchs fear and envy me. Heaven has showered upon me all that men can wish for. I have registered the number of days in which I enjoyed real happiness ; they amount only to fourteen I Mortals, learn hence duly to appre ciate grandeur, the world, and human life.'" Our next illustration of the insufficiency of wealth to give peace of mind, is derived from the Diary raj• a Lover of Literature, in the Gentleman's Magazine for November, 1839. The Nobleman who is the hero of the piece was the late Lord Lauderdale, and the fol lowing is an extract from the Diary : " His Lordship had been taking a ride about his extensive domain; on reaching an eminence which commanded an immense and diversified prospect, Min gay was admiring the prodigious extent as well as the variety of the view, when his Lordship observed, And now, Mingay, of all you see I believe there is xot an acre of ground which is not my own.' Good God !' said the barrister, you must be the happiest of men.' ' In the whole compass of this scene, I will venture to affirm (mid his Lordship) that there is not one so mi serable.'" It can hardly be necessary for us here to observe, ;hat our denunciation of excessive wealth is not intended to apply to that class of persons who rank high amongst us as wealthy merchants, but to persons of much more extensive possessions than we have ever heard attributed to the most affluent of our townsmen ; and the indivi dual instances which we have adduced in the course of this article, may serve as an illustration of the meaning we attach to inordinate possessions. We have much gratification in bearing testimony to the liberality of many of our townsmen, who have the reputation of being wealthy, and whose names are al ways to be found on the list of bountiful contributors to all our public charities. Of the late Mr. James Cropper we may now speak without reserve, as any compliments we may pay to his memory cannot be justly regarded as a partial or in vidious attempt to exalt one living member of the com munity by depreciating others of our townsmen, Mr. Cropper was one of those who seemed to consider the wealth which he had honourably acquired only the means of doing good to his fellow-man. To borrow a very signi ficant simile from a celebrated 'French author, he ap peared to be elevated only to enable him to discover more clearly the human misery around him. When once assured that his bounty would not be misapplied, he dispensed it most cheerfully and most liberally. On one occasion, when funds were much wanted for the dissemination of anti-slavery tracts, we happened, by mere chance, to see his name with the sum of 500/. op posite to it ; while no other subscriber, although there were royal and noble titles in the list, contributed more than 1501. As one instance out of many that we could adduce of the promptitude with which he came forward to promote any schecae for the amelioration of the condi- tier of his fellow-men, we avail ourselves of the present opportunity of stating, that when, in the year 1831, we published an " Outline of a Plan for the entire Sup pression of Street Begging, " &c., which has been re printed in the Description of the Liverpool Night Asy lution, Mr. Cropper was so much pleased with the proposition, that he made us a tender of 501. as his contribution towards making the experiment. This liberal offer, of which we declined to avail ourselves, conscious that we could not acquit ourselves of the duty to our own satisfaction, on account of our other indispensable engagements, was conveyed to us in a note which, for the honour of the excellent man, whose loss can never be sufficiently deplored, we subjoin : Dingle Bank, 3 mo. 20, 1830. ESTEEMED FRIEND,-Thy proposition of giving ration of dry bread, to be eaten on the spot, to any person asking for it, as a means of suppressing that most distressing and perplexing nuisance of street begging, is so simple, and could so easily be tried, that I am very desirous the experiment should be made. If it should succeed, it might, very properly, form a branch of that most excellent institution, the Provident Dis trict Society, but there is yet too much of uncertainty about it to be undertaken by that Society. A novel experiment is best tried at the expense of a few in dividuals. Myself and my sons, and Robert Benson, will give 10/. each, and my friend W. liathbone, who is also desirous the experiment should be made, will give 51., and very likely I may meet with others wil. ling to contribute. I think if we bad 150/. or 200/. to begin with, it might be tried, in the first place, simply with bread, because that would be attended with least trouble, though in case of a permanent establish ment, by no means the cheapest. We know that a great portion of the population of Ireland live on pota toes only, and in many cases, when salt was subject to duty, they were deprived even of that. It would not cost more than a half-penny to supply a person with as many boiled potatoes as he could eat, whilst many would readily eat two pennyworth of bread ; but the giving of boiled potatoes, or any broken meat collected from the inha bitants, would require a very different establishment to that which would be needful for the simple supply of bread, and as this would be the more substantial food, it should have the preference as a trial. There can be no doubt that this plan would destroy the trade of begging, because many mendicants, much as they dis like work, would prefer it to such humble fare. I consider that the community is greatly indebted to thee for the establishment of the very important relief afforded to the suffering class by the Night Asylum. I wish the present plan, which is equally simple, may be equally successful, and I am thy sincere friend, To Egerton Smith. JAMES CROPPER. MORAL REFLECTIONS ON WEALTH. The following extracts may form ;an appropriate appendix and commentary to our short chapter on riches : MEDIOCRITY IS THE BEST STATE OF FORTUNE.— All I desire is, that my poverty may not be a burthen to myself, or make me so to others ; and that is the best state of fortune that is neither directly necessitous, nor far from it. A mediocrity of fortune with a gentleness of mind, will preserve us from fear or envy, which is a desirable condition, for no man wants power to do:mis chief. We never consider the blessing of coveting nothing, and the glory of being full in ourselves, without depend ing upon fortune. With parsimony a little is sufficient ; and without it, nothing ; whereas frugality makes a poor man rich. If we lose an estate, we had better never have had it ; he that has least to lose has least to fear, and those are better satisfied whom fortune never fit uoured, th#n whom she has forsaken. The state is most commodious that lies betwixt poverty and plenty• Diogenes understood this very well whim he put himself into an incapacity of losing anything. That course of life is most commodious which is both safe and whole some ; the body is to be indulged no farther than for health, and rather mortified than not kept in subjection to the mind. It is necessary to provide against hunger , thirst, and cold ; and somewhat for a co verin g to shelter us against other inconveniences, but not a pin matter whether it be of turf or of marble. A man may lie as warm, and as dry, under a thatched, as under a gilded roof. Let the mind be great and glorious, and all other things are despicable in comparison. The future is un certain, and I had rather beg of myself not to desire anything, than of fortune to bestow it.—Seneca's M ot u h.. " REFLECTIONS UPON WEALTH.—Every man is rich or poor according to the proportion between his desires and his em p lo y ments ; an y en largement of his wishes is, there fore, destruction to happiness, witll the diminution of possession ; he that tea c h es another to long for what he can never obtain, is no less an enemy him of patrimony. t T o h h e is r q c h u i el lose s a a l t l i g f r he t e i fi cations,had robbed ause their wants are Prevented ; and added 'o the lassitude which follows satiety, they have a i pr de proceedi ng from wealth, which wea , which makes them impatient at the loss of pleasure, from though they have no enjoyment m the possession gula spent, for one supper, 80,0001, and Heliogabulus 20,000/. The usual cost of a repast for Lucullus was 20,000/. Misalla gave 400,000/. for the house of Antony. The fish from Lueullus's fish-ponds were sold for 35,000/. Scaurus's country house was destroyed by fire, and his loss was estimated at 850,00)1. Otho, to finish a part of Nero's palace, spent 487,500/." If the extraordinary instances of prodigious indivi dual wealth which we have here noticed should excite the envy of any reader to whom fortune has been un propitious, we invite his attention to a few memorable instances which we shall addue in proof of the utter inefficiency of riches to insure for their possessors that contentment without which there is no real enjoyment in life. The melancholy fate of that ecclesiastical * Creams, Wolsey, is too familiar not to suggest itself to Mazarin less humiliating and deplorable, as may be ga thered from the following passage in his history from Enfield's and Aikin's Gencral Biography He was attacked by a disease which his system was unable to resist.

UNDER sinister views of private toll-interest the present Government, as the Police Corporation of London has sanctioned ("under the nose ") Lord Boston and others by a seeming UMPIRAGE—to drive in STAKES (a la coffer-dam) right across the river Thames, at the serpen tine bend of the river above and below Caversham Park, near Reading, in order to shut up the tidal course of the natural channel—to favour, by truckling to BOSTON and the Clergy- Magistrates of Berkshire, the private canal-scheme "cut off" at this point —not forgetting railroad traffic, versus " free navigation of the River." Hence ! The dam'ing up of old Father Thames, as contrary to the laws of God's landmarks, has occasioned misery and death by a dreadful inundation—to all places seaward, e'en to Gravesend.

', 4 4L fi In present dearth of political intelligence for cdi torial comment, we are about to volunteer a short chap ter on a subject not often selected for newspaper specu lation, but by no means destitute of interest,—a subject well worthy of the consideration of all those who, profit ing by the lessons of experience, would learn properly to appreciate the intrinsic value of that object, in pur suit of which tneu too often peril their health, their peace of mind, and their reputation. That object, we need scarcely add, is Wealth, to the attainment of which all other considerations are too frequently re garded as secondary or subsidiary. In choosing such a sub ject for comment, we may perhaps be reminded of the old maxim, " sutor ultra crepidant ;" and the purse proud, if such there should chance to he amongst our readers, may hint, with a supercilious sneer, that we should not meddle with matters beyond our limited comprehension, and of which we can have had no per sonal experience. In excuse for the imputed presump tion, while we freely admit that practically we never had, nor probably ever shall have, much experience of the effects of wealth upon our habits, feelings, and cha racter, we must at the same time observe, that as the looker-on at a game frequently detects gross mistakes overlooked by those engaged in the speculation—so even we fancy we have long ago discovered that the imaginary prize, which is so eagerly contended for, gc narally turns out a blank—that as the French perti nently say, "Le feu etc vaut pas le chandelle." We do not absolutely deny that wealth, when attained, is sometimes a blessing to the possessor ; but the conclu sion at which we have long since arrived is, that it is only a blessing to the very small minority, who have dis covered the secret of ie proper appropriation ; while the number of those who have made that discovery is so infinitely small, compared with the whole body of fortune-hunters, that it may be almost received as a moral axiom, that great wealth is almost invariably a great evil. The learned and philosophic reasoner, Bacon, treating on the subject, declared that "of great riches there is no real use, except it be in the distribution—the rest is but conceit." "As the baggage to an army, (ac cording. to the same high authority,) so i s excess i ve wealth to virtue ; it cannot be spared, but it hindreth the march,—yea, and the care of it sometimes loseth or disturheth the victory." It is obvious from this profound remark, that Bacon regarded great riches as incompa tible with the moral excellence of man ; and our opinion is, that the history of those who have acquired almost unbounded wealth would fully establish the justice of the conclusion. It has with many persons been a question whether those individuals who have amassed enormous fortunes, can have uniformly adhered to the rigid maxims of honesty, and to the spirit of the Divine precept, which enjoins us " to do unto others as we would they should do unto us." The humorous and satirical author of Crotchet Lodge, with a happy mixture of truth and irony, contends that strict honesty is not to be looked for amongst the money-changers:— " As to honesty (says this humorist), he made his fortune, Sir, in the City of London, and if that com modity be of any value there, you will find it in the Prices Current." There is something so original and so whimsical in the notion of classing honesty with cotton, coffee, and mercantile sundries, that we could not resist the tempta tion of quoting the passage, although it must be regarded as broad caricature. Before we proceed further, we shall here, by way of illustrating what we deem inordinate individual wealth, call the attention of our readers to a few remarkable cases, take❑ indiscriminately from a much more copious collection, with which our note books would furnish us, if we did not deem the specimens we have adduced suf ficient for our purpose. . . INORDINATE WEALTH.—He (Mr. Howitt) says that Wolsey exceeded Xinuenes, Richelieu, Maurine, and De Retz, in wealth,..&c. He did not much surpass De Retz, but did Ole exceed .Mazarine ? We have our doubts on the, subject. Mazarine died worth n e a rly eight millions sterling, probably the largest pro perty possessed by any individual in modern times.*— Gentleman's Magazine for May, 1840. p. 43.5 ; Re view of Howitt's Visit to Remarkable Places. It is stated on good authority that Wolsey kept no fewer than five hundred servants in his establishment, of whom nine or tea were lords, fifteen knights, and forty were esquires. He was a Royal favourite, once regarded as the arbiter of Europe, whose yearly income equalled, if it did not exceed the revenues of the Crown. ON THE TREASURES OF THE KINGS OF PERSIA. —We see, by what is said in the text, the reason why Alexander found such vast sums acCumulated in the treasures of Persepolis, Susa, Pasvgarda, &c. I doubt, notwithstanding, whether we should give credit to Justin, when he says, that after the conquest of Persia, Alexander annually drew three hundred thousand talents from his new subjects, which would make about sixteen hundred and twenty millions of French boxes, or sixty-seven millions and a half sterling.—Note to Vol. I. Ville Travels gie Anacharsis. " A RUSSIAN CMESUS.—M. de Tiszkiewies, the richest landholder in Russian Lithuania, died a short time since. The St. Petersburgh papers inform us, that he has left to his three sons 2,000 villages, con taininf, more than 60,000 serfs, and in ready money, 10,000,000 of crowns, and that it was this gentleman who was said to have refused the hand of his daughter to Duke Alexander of Wirtembcrg, who afterwards married the Princess Marie d'Orleans. His daughter since married Prince Sapicha, and had 2,000,000 crowns for her dowry. A letter from St. Petersburgh says--' This gentleman's property comprised 46 exten sive domains, on which there are 20,000 families of peasantry, reckoning in them 60 000 males. In money, he possessed 56,000,000 Polish florins, equal, in French money, to 21,600,000 f. He had had six children, of whom three sons, beside his daughter, survive him. The eldest, according the laws of Lithuania, inherits the whole of this immense wealth. He, however, has as signed one-fourth to be equally divided between his two brothers.' " We shall translate the following passage from " Une Annce in Espagne,"par Charles Didier IMMENSE POSSESSIONS OF THE DUKE DE ME DINA CELl.—There is not a town or village in which he (the Marquis de Medina Cell) has not some Palace, and he might almost make the tour of Spain, as the Prince of Butera made the tour of Sicily, sleeping every night at home."—Vol, 1., p. 24. The Prince Esterhazy ought not to be overlooked in our enumeration of men of prodigious wealth. On the eva of the Coronation of our Queen, the following notice of this Prince appeared in some of the continental papers _ A letter from Vienna, of the 15th, says—' It is affirmed that the Hungarian dress, ordered by Prince Esterhazy ,for the Coronation of Queen Victoria, will cost half a million of Dutch florins. I can believe this, since the Brandebourgs alone, adorned with silver and diamonds, cost 80,000 florins." We believe it is related of this Prince that when he visited Mr. Coke, of Norfolk, or some of our great agriculturists, who had what is regarded in England an immense stock of sheep, he (the Prince) simply ob served that " he had on his estates as many shepherds as our countryman had sheep!" " PRIVATE FORTUNE OF SOME OF THE GREAT PER SONAGES OF ANCIENT TlMES.—Crcesus possessed, i❑ landed property, a fortune equal to 1,700,0001., be sides a large sum of money, slaves, and furniture, which amounted to an equal sum ; he used to say that a citizen who had not a fortune sufficient to support an army or a legion, did not deserve the title of a rich man. The philosopher Seneca had a fortune of 3,500,0001. Len tullus, the soothsayer, had 3,500,0001. Tiberius, at his death, left 23,625,0001., which Caligula spent in less than twelve months. Vespasiau, on ascending the throne, estimated all the expenses of the state at 35,000,0001. The debts of Milo amounted to 600,0001. Caesar, before he entered upon any office, owed 2,995 000/. He purchased the friendship of Curio for 500,0001., and that of Lucius Paulus for 300,0001. At the time of the assassination of Julius Caesar, Antony was in debt to the amount of 300,000/. ; he owed this sum in the Ides of March, and it was paid before the Kalends of April ; he squandered 147,000,0001. of the public treasures. Appicius expended, in debauchery, 500,0001., and finding, on examination of the state of his affairs, he had no more than 80,0001. left, he poisoned himself, because he considered that sum insufficient for his maintenance. Julius Caesar gave Servilla, the mother of Brutus, a pearl of the value of 40,0001. Cleopatra, at an entertainment, gave to Antony, dissolved in vine gar, who swallowed it, a pearl worth 80,000/. Claudius, the son of Esopus, the comedialc swallowed one worth 8,000/. One single dish cost Esopus 50,000/. Cali- 4 We confine our observations to Europe.

Tney are coveted by narrow minds (which confound the means with the end), for the sake of power, influence, and respect ; or by those of less elevated and refined sentiments, as necessary to sensual enjoyments. It almost always happens that the man who grows richer changes his notions of poverty, states his wants by some new measure, and, flying from the enemy that pursued him, bends his endeavours to overtake those which he sees before him. Wealth can not confer greatness ; for nothing can make that great which the decree of nature has ordained to be little ; the bramble may be planted in a hot-bed, but it will never become an oak."—Anon. BANEFUL EFFECTS OF ALTER ING THE COURSE OF EXCHANGE. BY INCREASING OR DECREASING THE QUAN TITY OF MONEY. (From a Paper of Mr. Gilbart in the Westminster Review.) We see, then, that an alteration in the quantity of currency will affect th e f ore i gn exchanges i n two wave. An increase in the quantity will tend to advance the prices of commodities, and thus check exportation, and encourage importation ; and it will lower the rate of in terest, and thus cause a transf er o f cap i ta l f or invest ment in foreign securities. Seeing, th en , t h at we have the power of thus influencing the exchanges, the elec— tion arises, ought we, as a general prin c i p l e o f act i on, to make use of this power's It strikes us at once that this is an operation altoge ther at variance with the ordinary functions of money, The design of money is to effect the exchanges of come modities—to operate as a measure of value between different commodities, and thus to show their relative values. And it ought not only to show the relative value of different commodities at the same time, bu' also the value of the same commodity at different time: , All writers on monetary science have held that tle measure of value ought to be free from change ; an i. they state that the precious metals were originally se lected for this reason, because they possessed, more then any other commodity, the quality of permanency. it seems as necessary to have a standard of value as standard of weight or of measure. And were the yard measure or the bushel measure to be perpetually chang ing, it could not produce greater confusion or injustice than if the standard of value were perpetually changing. On this ground it has been contended that corn would be a very improper standard of value; for as, annually, the crops vary very much, an arti c l e t h at i s worth onte bushel of corn this year may be worth two bushels the next. But if the quantity of money were to be increased or diminished from year to year, with the view of in fluencing the exchanges, then it would become as ime proper a standard of value as corn. Indeed, during tl last few years, the quantity of gold in the Bank of Eng land has fluctuated more than the produce of the har vests. There are various circumstances that influence the prices of commodities; such as an increase or a diminution of the supply—a state of peace or war—the opening of new markets—the discovery of cheaper modes of production, or the substitution of a scarce commodity. Now seems proper that these legitimate causes of an alteration of prices should not be counte racted by an artificial operation on the currency : the natural price of a commodity is an indication of the re lative quantity in the market ; and when the price ad vances, it is notice to the consumers to reduce their consumption. Suppose, for instance, we had a scanty harvest, the price of corn would of course advance ; this advance of price would induce many people, from motives of economy, to diminish their consumption, and to use instead cheaper kinds of food ; and thus the quantity on hand would be eked out to the next har vest. But suppose the quantity of money were to he forcibly contracted, and corn kept as cheap in this sea son of scarcity as it had been in the previous year, then consumption would not be diminished ; the whole stock might soon be exhausted, and, before the next harvest, the nation might starve. Thus, artificial operations on the currency might contract the effect of the natural causes of alteration in prices, and also, by operating unequally on different commodities, might derange their relative values.

Loss OF HER MAJESTY'S PACKET SFEY,--It is with painful feelings we announce the loss of her Majesty's brig Spey, Lieut. James. on her outward voyage ti Mexico. On the 24th of November last, she struck on h coral reef, in the Bahama Straits, but fortunately held to gether a sufficient length of time to get out the mai:. stores, &c., which, with the crew and passengers, we: all saved. The vessel is, however, a total wreck. Th crew and passengers were under tents at Raccoon, and sloop was expected from Nassau to take them and the on to the liavannahs. A private letter from her Majesty's steamer Hydra, witis which we have been favoured, gives,some details of the tre mendous gale of the 2d of December. The Hydra laid in an awkward position, to the leeward of the ships and ves sels, so that everything that broke *drift was likely to come in contact with her ; she got her steam up, and put out to sea. On the 3d the Austrian corvette, that had lost her foremast, was towed to Cyprus by the Gorgon, to get repaired; seven or eight vessels drove on shore in George's Bay, and some sank at their anchors. o n the 15th, Sir Charles Smith embarked on board the Hydra at Beyrout, and she proceeded to Alexandria, where sheaar; rived on the 17th. The Liverpool bad arrived the s ame day bringing the news of the birth of the Princeess_RarnYB whose honour a Royal salute was fired by Dece mber forYIL u 7_ The Hydra was to sail on the 20th of f sb . . =rice.
