SIGHT AND HEARING. \ • TESTIMONIALS on the Messrs. S. and B. SOLOMONS' Newly Invented SPECTACLE LENSES and VOICE CONDUCTOR for Deaf Persons. From James Blundell, Esq., M.D. " I have now tried for some time the Messrs. Solomons' newly invented Spectacle Lenses, and have experienced much benefit ; they are far preferable to my vision than any other lens ; the relief is very great, in particular by candle light, and in course of use for a length of time the clearness of the transparency brings every object very distinct ; they can be fully appreciated only by those who, like Thyself, may stand in need of them. " JAMES BLUNDELL, M.D. " No. 1, Great George-street, Westminster." We, the undersigned, have been making use of the Messrs.

Selomons feel desirous to state that their Voice Conductor, for doe persons, is so small it fits into the cavity of the ear, not the least perceptible, and the faintest whisper at a public assembly is heard with distinctness. These important new inventions are pa tronised by their Majesties the King and Queen of Hanover, and their Royal Highnesses the Princesses Augusta and Sophia, her Serene Highness the Princess Esterhazy, the Princesses Mary and Rosa, and his Grace the Duke of Manchester, &c. &c.

Second—Moved by Mak r- General BR IG GS, Madras Army, seconded by Major-General Sir JAMES SUTITELLAND, Bombay Army, K. L. S. , and carried unanimously— That the early part of Colonel Sykes's military career, which was devoted to the attainment of an intimate acquaintance with the character and constitution of the Native Army, his proficiency in the native languages, and his constant intercourse for a period of years with the agricultural population of the I,lahratta territories, whilst he held the important office of statistical reporter to the Bombay Government, enabled him to acquire that thorough know ledge of the resources of the country, and the social condition of the people of India, which peculiarly qualifies him for a seat in the East India Direction. Third—Moved by Sir JOHN J. HANSLER, F.R. S., seconded by Major GEORGE WILLOCE, K.L. S., and carried unanimously — That on these grounds, and relying with confidence in the well known zeal, ability, and independence of Colonel Sykes—qualities so essentially requisite in public men—the present meeting strongly recommend him to the Proprietors at large, and pledge themselves to use their beat exertions to ensure his election to a seat in the Direction on the first vacancy.

On Tuesday last a very numerous meeting was held of the inhabitants of Pontypool and its vicinity on a convenient spot of ground situated about a mile from the town. The object of the meeting was to pass resolutions in favour of the People's Charter, and to elect a delegate to represent this district in the forthcoming national convention. A procession with ban ners and music left the town about twelve o'clock. and on ar riving at the place of meeting, Mr. Edwards of Newport was called to the chair. The resolutions of a similar kind to those passed in various parts of the kingdom were carried by ac clamation. The meeting was addressed in Welsh by a depu tation from Merthyr. Deputations attended from Newport, Caerleon, and from many other Associations lately formed in this populous part of Wales. The meeting was addressed by the following persons :---Messrs. Griffiths and Jenkins of Merthyr; Mr. Frost of Newport ; Mr. Vincent of London; Mr. Carrier of Trowbridge; Mr. Jones and Mr. Llewellyn, of Pontypool. Although the day was wet, there were not present less than 7,000, amongst whom were many females, who appeared to take the deepest interest in the proceedings. Mr. Frost of Newport was appointed delegate. After cheers were given for the Charter, the Delegates, and the Convention—for their wives, sweethearts, and themselves, the procession returned to the rooms of the Association, when it peaceably dispersed. The arrest of Mr. Stephens was spoken of by the speakers as an evidence of the folly of the Whigs. At seven o'clock in the evening the large room of the King's Head was - densely crowded, as well as the staircase and all the avenues leading to the house, and hundreds remained in the street. Mr. Llewellyn presided. After considerable confusion, in consequence of the pressure, and loud cries for an adjourn ment, the meeting was adjourned to the street, and in a few minutes several thousands of persons assembled, who were ad dressed from the window, in excellent and forcible speeches, by Jobn Frost, Esq., of Newport; Mr. Vincent, of London; Mr. Carrier, of Trowbridge ; and several townsmen. The meeting was very enthusiastic ; and the people of this part of Wales have said they are determined to have the Charter. Cheers were given for Messrs. Frost, Vincent, and others, and the meeting quietly separated about ten o'clock. PUBLIC MEETING AT MERTHYR TYDFIL. About a week ago, 10,000 Welchmen aszembled on the hills of Merthyr to adopt the Charter, and to assist in the organization of that district. The greatest enthusiasm and determination prevailed. The meeting was addressed by va t ions speakers in both Welsh and English. The organization is spreading over the Mountain F—there is scarcely a place but which is preparing to move for the Charter, and to form an Association. Mr. Williams, of Carmarthen, was elected Delegate for Merthyr. PUBLIC MEETING OF THE INHABITANTS OF NEWPORT. On Wednesday night a meeting was held in the large room of the Bush Inn, to hear an address from Mr. Henry Vincent. Long before the time of meeting, the room was crowded, and hundreds were unable to obtain admission. At half.pasL seven Mr. Vincent, in company with Mr. Frost, entered the room, and was greeted with very loud cheering. John Frost, Esq., was called to the chair. He opened the meet ing with a few remarks, and read over the " excellent leader" in The Sun of Tuesday on the arrest of Mr. Stephens. Three cheers were given for The Sun. He then introduced Mr. Vin cent to the meeting, who on rising, was very enthusiastically cheered. Mr. Vincent spoke for two hours and a quarter in a most animated strain. He entered into the first principles of government, dissected the Reform Bill, and exposed the base conduct of the Whigs. He also gave a description and defence of the Charter, and made a vigorous appeal to the meeting on the necessity of their aiding their English, Irish, and Scotch brethren. Mr. Vincent, on conclusion, was cheered several minutes. Three cheers were given for their worthy Magistrate, Mr. Frost, three for Mr. Vincent, and the meet ing separated. The National Petition receives numerous sig natures throughout this district. PUBLICATIONS. WELLINGTON MEMORIAL AND WATERLOO MODEL.

PUBLIC MEETING AT CAERLEON. On Thursday evening a meeting was held in this town, to hear addresses from Mr. Frost and Mr. Vincent. The place of meeting was crowded. Mr. Hancock, a good old Radical of 40 years' standing, who formerly held a high situation in the metropolis, and in consequence of his political conduct was discharged, was called to the Chair. He was the friend of Horne Tooke, Hardy, and others. After a few introductory remarks he introduced Mr. Vincent to the meeting. Mr. Vincent. in a speech of much eloquence and argument, addressed the meeting at considerable length, and was loudly cheered. 411 r. Frost also briefly addressed the meeting, and was malt cheered. After votes' of thanks to those who attended, the meeting separated. The Association is fastly increasing in numbers. Associa tions are forming all over the hills of Monmouthshire, Gla morganshire, and Breconshiro'; and in a short time there will not be a village in the western part of Monmouthshire, and the eastern parts of Glamorgnnshire, which will not have its Association for obtaining the People's Charter. STORMS. We have several times alluded to the theory of storms, because we believe it to'be an important subject, and that every incitement should be given towards prosecuting the inquiry. When the Liverpool steam-ship was forced back to Cork by foul winds, the Great Western had just departed ; but, if storms be rotatory, the same gale might, of course, blow foul for one, but fair for the other. This appears really to have been the case with regard to these two steam-ships ; and the storm they both met appears to have been the same, which raged with such violence here in London on Sunday night, the 23th of October, and on Monday morn ing. As is not unfrequcnt before a storm, it was calm at the place of the Great Western on the forenoon of the 28th. At noon the wind rose in sudden gusts ; but, in stead of being a storm from the west, as the Liverpool had it, these gusts came first from the southward, and veered violently, though gradually to the east, and then to the north-east. Next morning the weather moderated with the wind at W.N.W. It is supposed that the centre of this hurricane passed over Wales, for the wind was there reported to have changed suddenly from the point from which it had been blowing steadily without veering to the point immediately opposite ; and such of course, would be the case if- the centre of a whirlwind were to pass over any place. The prosecution of this inquiry may be attended with great im portance to shipping. At Greenwich Royal Observatory, where a record is kept of the state of the weather, the wind's force is denoted by numbers, as being more definite than our common ex pressions "blowing hard," &c. These numbers have been adapted for the use of ships by the Hydrographer to the Admiralty, Captain Beaufort, R.N. It would greatly aid meteorological inquiry if this scale were adopted both for land and sea. We annex Captain Beaufort's scale (which is used by the Great Western), as well as letters, which are used as symbols to denote the state of the weather . FIGURES TO DENOTE THE FORCE OF THE WIND. 0 denotes Calm. 1 Light Air rwith which a well-con-1 2 Light Breeze ... ditioned man-of-war, 3 Gentle Breeze ... under all sail, and 4 Moderate Breeze clean full, would go L. in smooth water frcm j 5 Fresh Breeze ...1 I to 2 knots. 3 to 4 knots. 5 to 6 knots.

GREG AND THE TORY PAPERS. It appears that considerable offence has been taken in Lan cashire generally at the very impertinent rematks which have been made in a certain London Morning Journal on the gen tlemen whose speeches at the recent meeting of the Manches ter Chamber of Commerce have told with so much effzet throughout the kingdom against the landlord legislators for whose interests the corn-laws exist. This publication having had the insolence to-wish that " Mr. Greg would ship him self off to some foreign country," we are referred by a friend of that eminent manufacturer and highly-talented English gentleman to the following account of his establishments in the cotton manufacture, as given before the Committee of the House of Commons, on commerce, manufactures, and shipping of the year 1833 : " Mr. William Rathbone Greg called in and examined : You are a cotton-spinner, and loom-manufacturer, in partner ship with your father and brothers ?—Yes. 6" Where are your mills situated ?—We have one at Bury, in Lancashire ; one near Lancaster; one t:ear Wilmeslosv, in Cheshire; and one in Bollington, near Macclesfield. " What number of-hands do you employ in those mills?— About 1,900. " What quantity of cotton do you spin per week ?—About 60,0001b5. weight a week. " What does that make per annum ?—About 3,000,000 of pounds per annum. " What proportion does that consumption bear to the en tire consumption of the country?—lt will be about 1-17th per cent. of the entire quantity spun; 1-15th per cent." Here, says the letters from Lancashire, is a gentleman who employs 1,900 persons, and at wages fully double to the earnings of any similar number of the population in the agri cultural districts, paying, according to the calculations of one party, more money in weekly wages than the whole of the Dukes of the Peerage put together; and yet there is a public writer so buried in the mire of political subserviency as to wish that he would " ship himself off." But notwithstanding the presumptuous manlier in which the manufacturing inte rest is spoken of by the upholders of the Corn-laws generally, there is little doubt that the movement against those destruc tive laws is daily gaining a strength which the Ministry will find to be irresistable whenevert Parliament may meet. Loss OF LIFE.—On the 30th ult. at Salford, three lives were lost, by the falling in of soma arched cellzring at a brewery. The Manchester Guardian gives the follow ing particulars .—The arches gave way about the centre of the pit, and the wall across, which rested upon them, fell in ; the whole of the cellar erections being thus reduced to ruins, beneath which the three men were buried. The shock was severely felt in the dwellings around, and the alarm speedily spread through the neighbourhood. As soon as the dust occasioned by the fall had subsided, the head of William Rutter, one of the sufferers, was observed amongst the rubbish, between the undcrbeck and the wall. Workmen were promptly collected, and the poor man (who was able to speak) was extricated in less than half an hour ; j and, as he lived in the neighbourhood, he was immediate ly conveyed home, and was promptly attended by four medical men. It was found that he was a good deal bruised about the legs and thighs, and also about the head, which bled profusely ; but there appeared to be no fracture, and his wounds being dressed, the surgeons were of opinion that if inflammation did not supervene, he would recover. The workmen, upwards of twenty in number, continued their labours till between three and four o'clock, before they came to any other of the sufferers. They then found, near the centre of the pit, Robert Spencer, in a sitting posture, with his head upright, but quite dead. He was much cut and bruiied about the hands and legs, but most severely injured on the bead and back. The labourers found a second body, that of Joseph Rutter, about half-past seven o'clock in the evening. From the place where he was found, it would seem as if be had taken the alarm, and had attempted to escape the im pending danger ; for it was apparent, from his position, that he had plaCed one foot on the top of the door leading from the cellars by a flight of steps to the yard of the premises, when he had been struck down by a mass of -fallen bricks and rubbish. It was after eight o'clock before the body could be entirely cleared from the bricks, &c., and it was then conveyed to a sort of outhouse on the premise=, to which that cf Spencer had been previously removed. Here they were stripped, and washed, and laid out, to await the inspection of the Coroner's Jury. . The workmen ceased for the night about half-past eight o'clock on Sunday evening, and resumed their labour at an early hour on Monday. At noon, on that day, we saw upwards of twenty of them at work in clearing away the bricks and rubbish, which, from the depth of the pit, was necessarily a work of much labour. At that hour they had not suc ceeded in discovering the third body ; but there was so great a mass of bricks and earth in the place, that it was supposed they could not clear away the whole before last evening, and there was certainly enough to conceal a dozen bodies, if there had been so many persons in the place. None of the men had been in the cellars more than ten minutes at the time of the accident ; but we have been told that in a short time a number of mmn, _employed a t th e other brewery of Messrs. Burgess and Wheater, were to come to look at the new' erections and cellaes ; and, is that case; the loss of life might Ilve been much greater. Had the arches stood till last evening, upwards of fifty per -1 sons would have been congregated beneath them, RAILWAY TIMES.—An EXTRAORDI NARY NUMBER of the RAILWAY TIMES, price 6d. stamped, will be published early TO-MORROW MORNING, containing Dr. Lardner's Supplementary Report on the Great Western Railway ; Mr. Rastrick's Report on the West Cumber land Line, and all the Railway Intelligence of the last eight days.
