SIGHT AND HEARING. - TESTI MONIALS on the Messrs. S. and B. SOLOMONS' newly-invented SPECTACLE LENSES and INVISIBLE OPERATIVE VOICE CONDUCTOR for Deaf Persons. " We, the undersigned, have been far some time making use of Messrs. Solomona' newly-invented Spectacle Lenses; the astonishing relief they afford to imperfect vision gives them the decided preference to every other kind of Lens —the clearness of the transparency brings every object very distinct, and enables individuals to view the most minute par ticle with perfect accuracy. They are particularly pleasant by candle light, as they appear cooling, to the sight, and soften bright and brilliant lights : James Blundell, Esq., M.D., 1, Great George-street, West- minster.

The valetudinarian by birth, who has received from his parents the inheritance of a diseased and tins prolific frame; the delicate female, whom an immured and in active life, together with the immoderate use of tea and other weak and watery aliments, has, without any fault of hers, brought on all the calamitous symptoms of a consumptive habit, and is, without timely assistance, sinking into an un timely grave. Constitutions relaxed, weak, or decayed, in men or women, are under the immediate influence of this restorative. Old coughs, a:stlamas, and consumptive habits are soon relieved, and speedily cured. Poverty of blood and emaciated limbs will, ere long, meet the happiest change : the chill, watery fluid will become rieh and balsamic, and the limbs be covered with flesh, firm and beautiful, It is remarkable for its efficacy in all dis orders of the digestive organs, and is especially recommended to those who, from the irregularities of youthful age, habits of studious application, or a life of pleasure, have fallen into a despondent state of mind, and that distressing train of symp toms commonly denominated the nervous. In such persons the mental are not less enfeebled than the eorporeal powers, and to them a remedy that acts with efficacy, without interfering with domestic habits, is peculiarly desirable.

The County is the only Fire Office which has constantly made Returns to its Members, and for a long series of years. These Returns have varied from 10 to `2,5 per cent. and have amounted to upwards of 100,0001. In the Life Office, nearly the whole of the profits are divided among the parties insured. Their effect may be judged of from a Policy taken out by his late Majesty on his own life for 3,0001., which additions increased to 3,963/. Upwards of thirty Insurance Offices having been broken up within a few years, and about fifty new ones having been pro jected within the last two or three years, it may be necessary to observe, that all the substantial advantages promised by such new Offices have been long realised under the plans and ma nagement of the Provident Life Office.

The Work which is now presented to the public is the result of very extended experience in a class of diseases D'Olier-street •seases and affec tions, which for some unaccountable reason have been either and Edinburgh; C°.B altogether overlooked, or treated with apathy , and A almost in difference, by the e l dinary practitioner. To enter into the details of these affections, to point out their causes, and to mark the terrific consequences, social, moral, and physical, which are sure to follow from indulgence, in certain habits, would be entirely out of place in an advertisernent. We have no hesitation, however, in saying that there is no member of society, by whom the book will not be found interesting, whe ther we consider such person to hold the relation of a PA RENT, a PRECEPTOR, or a CLERGYMAN. The PARENT, who beholds his beloved child pining away, and fast approaching to a premature grave, in consequence of sequence of some disease , which for want:of a careful in vest i gation of its real cause, has been set down to the score of consumption, will, on perusing this work be astonished to find that in-nine tenths of the cases of young persons of both sexes, who perish of what is called pulmonary consumption, hart disease, tabes, & c ., the sole and exclusive origin has been the indulgence in certain destructive habits, practised by youth much more fre quently than is at all suspected. The PRECEPTOR, also, who holds temporarily, at least the relation and responsibility of a parent, will, by perusing, this work, be directed, and very much assisted in investigating and detecting the tee often concealed practices so often introduced into schools, whereby the health and ultimately the lives of his pupils are sure to be compromised, unless the evil be checked a clue to • • • in proper time. He will here find_ the intricate mazes of this moral labyrinth, and a standard judge, when delicacy of he al t hsh ould whereby to attack any of his young charges, what the real eawe of such attack may be, and thus he will be enabled to check the evil in its incipient state. The CLERGYMAN, in whose sacred character, is at once concentrated the twofold relation of parent and instructorovill hero be directed as to the nature of those habits, to which youth is addicted; be will also be enabled to point outt he disastrous consequences which are sure to follow from them, if not relinquished.

Infallible Remedy has been discovered, in a simple vegetable compound and an outward application, for the Gout, Rheumatism Rheumatic a mei gonizing forGmosu, 4 whichtTic-d olenreux, Lumbago, &e., in all imme diate relief is afforded in the most inveterate cases, and the curl perfected within from two to three days. Mr. Thomas Feaver, woollen warehouseman, Nos. 3 and 4, Friday-street, Cheapside, son of the discoverer, having tested this remedy by private circulation for several years, during which time thousands have been cured, from the nobleman to the peasant, considers he would be wanting in his duty towards his suffering fellow-creatures if he did not give them the full advantage of this most important discovery ; he therefore no longer hesitates to adopt this mode of making it publicl3 known. The cures it has effected in the most violent and ob stinate eases have been truly wonderful, and a newspaper could be filled with letters and testimonials in confirmation of its efficacy frord'persons of rank and distinction, including several from medical gentlemen of eminence. The great superiority this specific possesses ever all other remedies is from its being an outward application, and so perfeetly!safe and innocuous that he most weak and timid patient may Luse it with the greatest safety. This remedy is now known as Feaver's Embrocation, and may be had of the proprietor, Mr. Feaver, 3 and 4, Friday street, Cheapside; Barclay and Sons, Newberg, Edwards, T.

JOHN P. GYLBY, Deputy Clerk of the Peace. Dated this 14th day of December, 1840. AT a MEETING of the COMMITTEE of the BIRMINGHAM BRITISH and FOREIGN ANTI-SL AVERY SOCIETY, held at the Public Office, on FRIDAY, the 11th of Decemlser ' 1840, The Rev. TEOMAS ),lORGAN, in the Chair, The following Resolutions were unanimously adopted : ON THE RECENT INSTUCTIONS TO JAMAICA MAGISTRATES. I. That this Committee have heard with deep regret that the:Stipendiary Magistrates of Jamaica have been instructed to suspend their monthly reports on the administration of the laws and the condition of the Negroes in their respective districts, and in future to make reports half-yearly only, and to state nothing which might be painful to individuals. 11. That this Committee cannot refrain from an ex pression of their astonishment and sorrow that these in structions should hale been sanctioned by the Secretary of State for the Colonies, such instructions being little less than a mockery and insult to the Legislature and people of this coun try, who after paying Twenty Millions for Emancipation are left without official means of ascertaining the working - of the new system. ON THE TREATY WITH TEXAS. I. That this Committee have heard with grief and indigna tion of the virtual recognition of Texas as an independent State by the British Government. 11. That tkis Committee feel an invincible repugnance to any step which admits Texas into the honourable position of a place among the civilised family of man, and that for the follow ing reasons : Ist. Because of the character of the people composed of rebel subjects of Mexico (a free State in friendly alliance with us) and recklessladventurers from th• United States, whose notorious object is to aggrandize themselves by trampling on the rights of humanity.• 2d. Because a country in which (while it was an integral part of Mexico) freedom was enjoyed, is now to be cursed with all the ills of slavery. 3d. Because a fearful stimulus will be given to slave rear ing, and the slave trade in the United States, by the demand in Texas. 4th. Because alrnoot insurmountable obstacles will be placed in the way of the American abolitionists in their exertions for achieving the liberation of the slaves in the United States. .sth. Because additional facilities will be afforded for the surreptious importation of Slaves from Africa. 6th. Because a grievous wrong is inflicted on the free negroes, who by the constitution of the State, are expelled from the soil, and upon the aborigines, who are doomed to extermi nation by a merciless warfare. ith. Because it is palpably inconsistent that Great Britain, which by treaties, expensive armaments, and especially by the sacrifice of twenty millions sterling, has been endeavouring to accomplish the abolition of the slave trade and slavcry, should now give them encouragement to an extent which threatens to counterbalance all these exertions. 111. That, therefore, this Committee protest against the recognition of Texas as an independent State in alliance with Great Britain, and earnestly hope that measures may be taken to avert the evils which must inevitably result from a perseve rance in the course which has been adopted.

These Papers are principally intended for the perusal of the friends of Christianity and the Constitution ; pat titularly the Clergy and the Aristocracy ; and of all persons who are pos sessed of property. The object of the writer will be, to explain the reasons for the present alarming state of English society, and the consequent insecurity of lire and property :—also, to otter some remarks upon the folly and wickedness of attempting to uphold our institutions, particularly that of Private Pro perty, by the unconstitutional means of Centralization, Com missioning. Espionage, and Force ; finally, to state his own views on the best mode of restoring peace, contentment, secu rity, and prosperity, to every rank of the people of England.

THE DOVER WELLINGTON FESTIVAL.— The Wellington Festival accounts arc still even yet out standing, but several actions are about to be brought against iafluential individuals residing in the different ports from Romney to Margate, and intermediate towns, and which can only be averted by Captain Hart, the present Mayor of Hythe, convening a meeting of their Ports, their ancient towns, and their members, and the arrears being settled up. Dover alone being at present ready with its quota of the amount due, and other individuals in the dif 'erents ports, from the part taken by them in the proceed ings, being in the opinion of eminent counsel equally liable with the Dover Committee.

GAME LAWS. The keepers of Lord Ward, on the preserves of Swindon Common, have for some time been aware of poaching being carried on upon the domain. On Saturday week, between 11 and 12 o'clock, the keeper on the spot, finding the depredators at their work, and in numbers very strong, left his post for the purp ose of getting assistance. In the interim the wo r k men of Mr. \V, Perry, of the Lodge Farm , gained a knowledge of the circumstance, and marched six in number tcs the scene of a ction, when a fearful conflict ensued, i n w hi ch several of the men got severely hurt, and one p oor man in parti cular had his skull fractured, and now li es in a dargerou state.

The peculiar opportunities which are raps 'ad by the position of a " Naval Surgeon" for observing Its varied and singular features of a nautical life under al: its circumstances of peril or of pleasure, will no doubt be turned to due account by this clever writer, who:T "en has been no less successful in d e pi ct i ng the rough rcali its than the high and exciting romance of a sailor's I !a. It is understood that one of the chief features in 'ire plot of " The Naval Surgeon" is founded on a most 'ex traordinary case of circumstantial evidence which, oc curred some time ago in the Criminal Court of n Th' bouring country, and was fraught with the most let,. nog and absorbing interest, on account of the rank end 44(.- tion of all the parties. v m a e lu ch e a t n h i e sm im , „ INDISTINCT VISION. —lt behoves nil t to „ po th rt e an ey c , e e, o t f o that wonderful piece of " e cn and pres erve i t, particularly w h e v" n t y ho m se ca m n e s a t n o sirs sa- ';.t iffi r' ash, and the results from their application arc P. rl lightful and immediately felt.
