SIGHT AND HEARING. 39, ALBEMARLE-STREET, PICCADILLY, ( Opposite the York Hotel), and 76, KING WILLIAM-STREET, BANK OF ENGLAND. THE INVISIBLE OPERATIVE VOICE CONDUCTOR, effected by the Messrs. S. and B. SOLOMONS, OPTICIANS and AURISTSto the ROYAL FAMILY, 39, ALBEMARLE-STREET, PICCADILLY, by which thousands of deaf persons have been greatly bene fited, is the size of a seven-shilling piece, and when fixed into the cavity of the ear is soft and easy, and not more perceptible than hiving 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 or candle light, every object becomes clear and distinct, and the most minute particle is seen with great distinctness ; by the use of which both the sight and hearing become much impeoved. 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 kwwvn to the public, and tke vendor being aware of it, he has therefore altered their name, by leaving out the word " Amber," and calling them " Patent. Spectacles." Those which he terms " Patent Spectacles" are no other than those of amber ; the history and destructive ass of that mate rial for Spectacles to imperfect vision is fully and most satis factorily explained by the undermentioned scientific authority : From the " Dictionary of Arts and Sciences" of Andrew Ure, M.D., F.R S., &c., evc. " Amber is an indurated vegetable juice, and not produced by the laws of cryltallisation, but by the same causes 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, Sze. ; they encounter great danger by handling such dreadful excited electries ; amber grows with lime, and is apt to take file, and is of such a soft nature when exposed to warmth, that it swells, bubbles up, and will barn away with same." The above Dr. Ure's statements are further confirmed by Sir D. Brewster and Pliny, as also by Parks and Hems, on Che 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. Solomoas' 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 p le s - street erons, are zr.ly osite the to e had at their establishment s, 39, Albemar (opp York Hotel), and 76, King William-street, Bank.

Ihe different ingredients contained in FRANKS'S SPE CIFIC SOLUTION OF COPAI tIA, are those advised by the most practical and scientific in the profession, but, by a peculiar chemical process so compounded that each drug greatly in creases the efficacy of the other. This invaluable Medicine is recommended in the public and private practices of SIR AST LEY P. COOPER, Bart., F. R. S. SIR BENJAMIN BRODIE, Bart., F.R.S. JOSEPH HENRY GREEN, Esq , F.R.S. BRAN SBY B. COOPER, Esq., F. R. S. Members of the Council of the Royal College of Surgeons, London, and =a ny other highly . distinguished members of the medical profession, by whom it is deemed the only Specific for the cure of those diseases to which it is more immediately applicable. The testimony of these gentlemen cannot fail to convinc every reflecting mind that FR AN KS'S SPECIFIC SOLU TION OF COPAIBA is not only in every essential what it professes to be, but is considered a most valuable a ldition to those legitimate and adopted Medicines daily prescribed by the faculty. FRANKS'S SPECIFIC SOLUTION OF COPAIBA is proved to be the most effectual, safe, and speedy remedy ft,r the cure of GONORRHCEA, GLEETS, all URETHRAL DIS CHARGES, FLUOR ALBUS, SPASMODIC STRIC TURE, IRRITATION of the KIDNEYS, BLADDER, URETHRA, and PROSTATE GLAND; its purifying effects upon the general health renders it particularly applicable in all cases of relaxed fibre and nervous debility.

For the convenienee of parties wishing to assure for a ape. cific sum, without a prospective bonus, a new table, at lower rates, has been calculated, on which, as well as on the partici pating scale, one half the premiums may remain on interest at five per cent. for five years, tints enabling a person to assure his life for 1,000/. on the immediate payment of the premium for 500/. For example, on the non-participation scale a man aged 30 may assure his life for 500/. by an annual payment of 91. Ns. 4d., and if he can employ the money better in his trade or profession, one half of it may remain unpaid for five years, on his merely paying the interest till the expiration of that period.

SUlClDE.—Yesterday evening an inquest was held before Mr. Baker, at the London Hospital, on the body of EL:ward Abbott, who destroyed himself under the following truly lamentable circumstances. It appeared by the evidence, that the deceased, who had a wife and three children, resided at No. 5, Skinner-street, Bishopagate street Without, and in consequence of being without em ployment for upwards of two years, was reduced to the most abject m sery. The deceased being considerably indebted to his landlord, the latter came up to his room on the third floor, saying at the same time that he should either pay or leave the house. The unfortunate man endeavoured to excuse himself by pleading his extreme poverty, and the fact of his children not having tasted food for two days. The landlord was, however, inxorable, and expressed his determination that he should quit, upon which the deceased rushed to the window, and throwing up tha sash precipitated himself into the street. He was taken up in a state of insensibility and conveyed to the London Hospital, when death terminated his sufferings in about an hour. A verdict of " Temporary Insanity" was returned.

(From last night's Gazette.) • Admiralty, October 7, 1840. Despatches. of which the following are clp'es or ex tracts, have been this day received at this cffice, ad dressed to Richard More O'Ferrall, E q., by Admiral the Honourable Sir Roltcrt Stopfor,l, G.C.8., Com mander-in-Chief of her Majesty's ships and vessels in the Mediterrmean Extract of a Desptteb from Admiral the Honourable Sir Robert Stopford, to R. M. OTerrall, Esq., ;I',dated Princess Charlotte. Djounie Bay, near Bey rout, September 20, 1840. . . I arrived off Beyrout on the morning of the 9th, where I found Commodore Napier with the ships and vessels named in the margin.* The Turkish expedition, under Rear-Admiral Walker, of the Ottoman navy, joined at the same time from Cyprus, consisting of a line-of-battle ship, two frigates, and two corvettes, with twenty-four transports, carry ing five thousand three hundred and seventy-three troops, commanded by Selim Pacha. Commodore Napier, baying previously examined the coast and selected a position, accompanied by Lieute nant Aldridge, of the Engineers. (for I lament to say LieuterpAt-Colonel Sir Charles Smith has been so ex tremely ill since his arrival as to incapacitate him for any active duty), I directed the Commodore to com plete his plans and arrangements ; and the same night the marines were removed to the steamers, and ,the whole, amounting to about seven thousand Turks and Allies, were in readiness to land in the morning ; when after manoeuvring some time before Beyrout, lined with Egyptian troops, in order to distract their attention, the Commodore hastened to the point of disembarkation, and succeeded without opposition or accident of any kind. . _ For a more minute detail of this operation I must re er you to the Commodore's letter of the 16th, a copy of which is herewith enclosed. Great praise is due to Commodore Napier, whose in ,defatigable zeal and izetleity ix securing his position Were well seconded by the officers and Men under his command. In order to protect the landing, and insure the safety of the troops exposed to a sudden attack of an over whelming force till the requisite defences were com pleted, I found it necessary to occupy the attention of the Egyptian army, which made a formidable appearance in armed masses along the hedges, and under cover of the gardens, and broken ground between the town and the sea, and opened a fire upon them from the shipping, taking care to avoid injuring the town, while the Aus trian frigate Guerriera, commanded by his Royal High ness Prince Charles Frederic, Lipsia corvette, and her Majesty's brig Zebra, took up a commanding position in St. George's Bay, enfilading the road by the beach, covering the bridge conducting to it, and drove the Egyptians from their encampment on the landside of the town. On the forenoon of the 11th, a letter was sent by Rear-Admiral Bandiera and myself, in the name of the Sultan, to Soliman Paella, the Commander of the Egyp tian troops (of which a copy is enclosed, as well as of his answer). Agreeably to his request, the letter was again sent, in French, with instructions to the officers to wait half an hour for the answer, much time having pre viously been lost. At the end of that time a verbal message only was returned, that an answer would be sent the following morning, which being too palpably evasive, as circumstances then were, and that he might benefit by a night's delay, by which his troops might have been upon our quarters, and his powder and provi sions removed without danger or accident from our fire, or otherwise profit by the interva4 I ordered the fire to be renewed, and to be partially and sparingly kept up for the night against the fort only, and prin cipally against one having mounted guns, in order to disturb their movements, as well as to sustain the con fidence of the people of the country in our protection and aid is the resumption of their allegiance to the Sultan. The mountaineers have come in considerable num bers, principally, I understand, Christians. Muskets, with ammunition, have been distributed with all possible discrimination and caution, and the demand for them is increasing. On being supplied, they generally return to their abodes in the recesses of the mountains ; some skirmishing is said to have taken place between them and the Egyptians; and Captain Martin's letter of the sth, of which a copy is inclosed, will show that good ser vice had been done by a party of two hundred and fifty of them at Batrona. The line of operations taken up by the squadron, extends from Tripoli to Caffa, beyond Acre, and several points commanding the road along the coast have been taken, but the Egyptian army, said to be fifteen thousand strong, is concentrated within a few hours' march, and an advanced post of about four hundred men, is seen on the brow of a hill, near our camp. A new appointment of Paellas has taken plaoe, and Isset Pasha has just arrived to take possession of his province. We have been now ten days occupied incessantly on very active and fatiguing service, and it is gratifying to me to be enabled to notice to their Lordships the fine spirit with which it has been carried on both on shore and on board. Commodore Napier's letter will speak for the former, and my own observation bears equal tes timony to the other, but where the exertions of all are so conspicuous it would be impossible as invidious to particularize individual merit. From Rear-Admiral Baron de Bandiera I have re ceived the most kind, ready, able, and efficient advice and assistance ; and the zeal and active exertions of his Royal Highness the Archduke Charles Frederic of Austria have been most prominent upon every occa sion. The Austrian squadron has been of the greatest service on this expedition ; two hundred of their ma rines are now serving on shore with ours, and the la bours and fatigue duties shared in common. To the zealous, persevering, and active exertions of Rear-Admiral Walker, in command of the Ottoman squadron, his captain, officers, and men, much credit is due for the ready co-operation and good understanding kept up between the two services in the indefatigable performance of their arduous duties. The steam vessels have been eminently useful in con stantly moving along a great extent of coast with troops and arms, and taking part in the attacks upon the dif ferent forts, which services have been executed entirely to my satisfaction. I have, Sce , ROBERT STOI'FORD, Admiral. ;Signed) (Copy of the Letter sent to Solimao Paella.) We the Admirals of the British and Austrian squad rons, acting in obedience to the instructions of our re spective Governments, and in the interests of his High ness the Sultnn, consider it our duty to represent to your Excellency our earnest desire to stop the effusion of blood and to call upon your Excellency to withdraw your troops from Beyrout, and to deliver the town to our united forces to be retained in the name of the Sultan. Your Excellency will have observed from the fire of the ships yesterday, a small specimen only of the course we shall be compelled to pursue. The fire has not been pressed this morning, that your Excellency may benefit by the pause, and upon reflec tion come to the decision, in consonance with our benevolent views, to spare the innocent inhabitants from the inevitable horrors which a few hours will inflict upon them. We request your Excellency will send an answer, as soon as you can, or at the latest by half-past one. (Signed) ROBERT STOPFORD, Admiral. BANDIERA. Off Beyrout, Thursday, 1 1 A.M.

Robert Stepford, G.C.B, dated D'jouni, Heads quarters of the Army of Lebanon, Sept. 16, 1840. In execution of your order of the 9th instant, I re. moved the whole of the Turkish troops from the trans port and the marines of the squadrons into the steamers. The Dido and Wasp took up an anchorage well up to Beyrout point, in order to draw Soliman Pecha's atten tion from the position I intended to disembark at. Soon after daylight, the squadron and steamers you had put under my orders weighed, the Turkish squadron, under Admiral Walker, weighed also, and the whole, with the exception of the Zebra - , who flanked the Egyptian camp, worked up to Beyrout point, where a consider able force of the enemy was in position. When the bresze freshened, the whole bore up for D'jounie, the Castor and Hydra anchored close to Dog River, tended the Turkish troops, and completely blocked up the pass leading to D'jounie. The Powerful and Pique, Gorgon, Cycheet, and Phmnix, followed by the Turkish squadroe, _ran into ti,e hay of D'jounie, and landed the troops in an incre dibly short time, owing to the excellent arrangement of Captain Reynolds, who took charge of t he landing. Admiral Walker put his troops on shore at the same moment, with great celerity and order ; a position was then taken up, and the artillery landed, tiro few Alba nians stat;oned here retired without firing a shot. The Carysfort and Dido went off D'jehel, about three leagues to the northward, to act against a strong tower, garri soned by Albanian troops. Djonnie is a good•sized hay, with a promontory projecting considerably into the sea. A road from Beyrout lays along the shore, and is practicable for in fantry, artillery, and cavelry. This road the Revenge covered. The road from Tripoli leads also along shore, and the Wasp and Phoenix covered a gorge, over which it would be necessary to pass. Two roads lead from Belhec by Antura, where an excellent position was taken up by two battalions of Turks, supported by five companies of marines. The left of this is protected by an impassable gorge ; the right rests on the sea, Dog River separating it from high ground in front. Tne first day, the inhabitants, who bad been drive into the mountains, came in slowly for arms, but these few took them with great avidity, and hastened to the mountains to drive away the Emir Bechir's troops, and open the mountain passes : this done, the mountaineers have flocked in in great numbene lei h the Sheiks, who have crowded to the standard of the Sultan, I beg to inclo,e Captain Mar tie's reports* of the oc cupation of Djebel and Betroun, in which he speaks highly o; Captain Austen, of the Cyclops, and of the officers employed. I regret the loss he met with ; it was not to be avoided. bri ny Albanians here suffered by their seva rity. The inhabitants of this city are most warlike and determined. Ibraham Paella reconnoitred our position the day before yesterday. I have sent a battalion of Turks in advance of Gazer to open the country, and give due notice, shnuA he endeavour to turn our left by that road, which he will have some difficulty in doing, as the country is covered by the broadsides of the ships. I have much moion to be satisfied with the zeal of the whole of the officers and seamen employed ; their exertions in completing our lines under Mr. Aldridge, of the engineers, is beyond all praise. Permit me, Sir, to congratulate you on the first suc cess of the army of Lebanon. You, yesterday, were witness of the arrival of his Highness the Emir Ab dallah, the Governor of the district of Kisroonan, and a the enthusiasm of the mountaineers ; and if this con tinues, I have every reason to think that the Egyptian army will be obliged to retire from the sea coast, and the mountains of Ltinnon. 111 3F &C. (Sigae3) CIIMMES N AI'IER, Commodore. Extract ref a Dispatch fro. i Captain Martin, of her Ma jetty's ship Carysfort, to Admiral the Honourable Sir Robert Stopford. Dated Gebail, 15th September. 1840. I have received information that 500 Albanian troops occupy the town of Batroun, about ten miles to the north of Gebail ; and the mountaineers who gave me the in telligence, say they arc willing to attack the place, if supported by the fire of some ships. I am therefore about to proceed there, tcwel by the Cyc!ops, who takes up ebout 250 of the mountaineers, to be landed in the neighbourhood. Large bodies of - men whom we have armed have re turned to the mountains, as they say, for the purpose of blockading an Emir, who has shut himself up in a con vent with several hundred men. I hope, under any cir cumstances, to be able to return to Gebail to-night. Extract of a Despatch from Captain Martin, of her M ijesty's Ship Carysfort, to Minim' the Honour. able Sr Robert Stopfurd, dated Batroun, September 15th, 1840. I have the honour to inform you that at three, 10 p.m. I anchored within musket-shot of Batroun, having been towed from Gebail by her Majesty s steam-vessel Cyclops. By this time the 250 mountaineers tvho were embarked on hoard the Cyclops had been armed and or. ganizzal under the zealous and able direction of Captain Austen. Oa approaching Batroun, we observed bodies of Albanians in different parts of the town apparently preparing for defence, and the positions of the Carys. fort and Cyclops were taken up with a view to forcing them from their strongho!ds. The Caryefort and Cy clops comme,ced firing with great effect, whilst the Cy clops' shells were searching the spots where the Alba nians from time to time halted. The 2:50 mountaineers whom we had armed were landed by the Carysfort's boats, under Lieutenant Stephens, the Hastings' boats under Lieutenant Thompson, and the Cyclops' boats under Mr. Glynn, Mate. The greater part of these immediately followed on the track of the Albanians. whilst another party took possession of Batroun. I have reason to believe that the Albanians suffered severely from the effects of the shot and shells ; whilst, I am happy to say, that our only casualty has been one mountaineer severely wounded. I am sorry to say that the head of an Alb an i an was brought to me as a trophy, immediately a f ter I l an d e d . hut I have endeavoured to discourage this brutal mode of warfare, by offering a reward of ten piastres and a musket for every prisoner the mountaineers will bring me. I am, &C. (Signed) 11. B. MARTIN, Captain. P.S. I enclose two letters, which reached me to-day, and I trust, that when you Isave read them, you will be of my opinion, that I have not acted injudiciously in pushing the outposts of the fleet and camp to this point. H. B. MARTIN, Captain. Extract of a Letter from Captain Martin, of her Ma jesty's ship Carysfort, to Commodore Napier, of tier Majesty's ship Powerful, dated Gebail, September 14, 1 840. I have the bor.our to inform you that the arms which reached me by the Cyclops last midnight have been dig. tribu'el to the mountaineers, and that there are so many uaA-med, that I think I can dispose of more. As far as circumstances will permit, the greatest precaution has been taken to place these arms in trustworthy harids. The distribution took place under my own eye, but was more immediately and minutely superintended by Captain Austen, of her Majesty's steam vessel Cyclops. to whose zeal in the performance of this duty I have been greatly indebted. I have detained the Hastings' boats, under the im pression, that it the enemy should advance from the northward in the absence of a stean.er, my only means of annoying them will be by the boats' carronades. It is impossible to state the exact number of moun taineers who have come down to us, but I should esti mate them at from throe to four thousand, and, as far as appearances go, enthusiastic in their hostility to the Egyptians. The flocks and herds are again fending in the neigh bourhood of Gebail. A few shops have been re-opened. and confidence amongst the people seems to be growing. I am, Etc. (Signed) H. B.
