THE VOICE CONDUCTORS invented by Mr. E. SOLOMONS are the rnlst powerful Instru» ments for the relief of deafness. From their minute construction, and convenient form, deaf persons are enabled to wear them entirely unseen, and they may be inserted and removed with the greatest fa cility. By their use the lowest whisper breathed at a pubic assembly vibrates on the organs of hearing in such a pleasant manner as to af ford the greatest relief to those labouring under the distress ng ail ment of Deafness. Mr. E. SOLOMONS' PATENT SPECTACLES possess the ad vantage of modifying bright and strong light transmitted through the various humours of the eye, so as to render vision most perfectly disc inet by day, or lamps or . candles at night, conveying also a sense of coolness and pleasure to the organ, with the additional recom mendation of being free from the pernicious a' tributes of common glasses.

HAMILTON LINDSAY, Esq. Late of the Hon. East India Company's Service in China. James Ridgway, Piccadilly. TO THE PRINCIPALS OF SCHOOLS, ORNA MENTAL PENMEN, WRITING-MASTERS, WRIT ING-ENGRAVERS, AND LITHOGRAPHERS. PATON'S FLOWERSof PENMANSHIP, (consisting of fourteen pages folio) exhibiting the principal Beauties of Penmanship, with a Miniature Portrait of the Author (in the centre of the Title -page), exquisitely engraved by Thomson, are nearly completed, and will be pub lished by Subscription. In announcing this Work, the Author thinks it proper to state that, for several years past, he has been solicited by many eminent Penmen and Engravers-1n this Count ry , as we ll as on the C o ntinent , to p u bli s h - a New Work on Ornamental Pen rnanship: he has therefore complied with their wishes, in the hope that the improvement, and more general practice of the Art may thereby be promoted. Something might be said in reference to the merits of a forthcoming work ; but from the simple fact of Mr. Paton's name, in connexion with the Art of Penmanship, having been before the Public for a very long period, he considers any farther statement unnecessary, than that he has bestowed his best ability upon it-that he has carefully studied the compo sition of every page—that the whole of the Designs have been finished in a manner equal, if not superior, to the important Ornamental Writings, executed by him, during the last twenty years. for the City of London, and the Royal Academy—and that nearly all fhe Plates have been engraved by Mr. Beckett in a way that must render that Artist's name famous in the annals of Engraving.

Sir,—l.have observed with much surprise, an advertisement in the London papers with your signature attached, in which the public are informed of my having quitted your service, and arc at the same time cautioned against paying any moneys to me on your account. As I cannot but. feel that such an adver tisementcalculated to i n j ure me i n pu b l i c est i mat i on as a C omm ercial Commission T rave ll er, b y i nduc i ng the b el i ef that I had improperly sought to receive yo u r moneys , I am b oun d i n justice to my character and to the c l a i ms o f a w if e an d nu merous family publicly to vi n di ca t e myse lf aga i nst suc h a sup . posit ton. Having for some years travelled fo r y ou b y comm i ss i on , an d having in the course of that period est a bli s h e d a fi rs t- ra t e conn exion, it grieved me much th a t t h e li m i ted extent to whi„li the orders of my numerou s cus t omers were executed became so unsatisfactory as to c om p e l me i n S eptem b er last to give intimation of my intention to t en d er my resigna tion at the termination of my next journey, never th e l ess su bj ec t / as per written agreement, to the three mont h s f rom t h e spec ifi c period of its being tender ed, unle ss th e t erms o f my engagement could be altered from a commi ss io n o f per cent. on the pay ments to that of 5 per cent. on all or d ers ta k en, an d t h en a 2 i on the payments, by which means I h ope d to secure t h e due execution of my ord ers , an d at t h e same t i me advance your interest as well as my own. I cer t a i n l y did not in notice to expire at th e ti me you construe d i t. O n the 9th of October I paid the balan ce o f my j ourney account atennddlemfty i 3 town that day for my then next journey, and from this date to the 13th of January, I made no arrange nents for future engagement, nor did I in one instance hint to any customer any expectation of leaving, as I concluded the difference might be settled agreeably to both parties when I got home. - • On the 25th of December I got back to London, and on the 26th called upon you in my usual way, gave in my ledger, and inquired also if my patterns had arrived, but finding they had nut, I did not regret this circumstance much as I wanted a little rest, having been out, from the Ist of July to the :bill of De cember, with only an interval of ten days. On the 28th of De cember I was at Queen -street., and gave you a letter order, which you executed. On the 3d ofJanuary 1 went . ith a written order from you to look out some goods, and upon inquiry found my journey ledger was made up, and on the following day I n ca o l l r ed in eee ipta,nd the e pa lt i ( l the balance 1 ge r no tbeing, due to y asy,u i of f 1 said, at h, 2s nd ., but.. m i g le o n t my patterns did arrive, which was on the Bth of January, I said to you that I should be ready to go off on the following Monday, when I found you had determined not to alter the terms, and that you considered the notice had terminated. I was then compelled to look out, which I did, and in a few days Isa,tedn my in conditionalappointmentoourey. fu fo o rz th th a e t house,mrostof my old and im mediately started were anxious to continue to do busi ness w i t h me t received c W m ithout regard to the principal, whom they had never seen, and of whom, except through me, they knew nothing, announcing through the different towns.l passed on to that I did not now represent you, nor did I use any under means to induce themto give their orders to me. I could not help telling them how it happened, as I had been to many of the same places only the preceding month on other business, anti had teld them then I should see them at the regular time for yo u . In consequence of a letter which 1 received from you at Wakefield on the 27th of January, presupposing I h a d preju diced the mind of a customer at Peterborough against you, I immediately wrote„ you that it was incorrect, for I had not so much as seen the gentleman. I further said I lamented that the long connection between us should be severed, and that upon so minor a matter ; that I believed it was much to your interest to resume that connection, having turned you over last year, amidst the distraction of the times, nearly as many thou sands as you had hundreds out, on the ground I now take, when I first took your business in hand ; and to testify my feeling for your continued prosperity, I stated I was ready on my part to bury all in oblivion, and if it met your approbation by sending down my patterns, accounts, and ledger to Huddersfield, I would instantly relinquish the engagement I had entered into, and commence again without further delay on your account, on the terms I had before proposed, and for my word's sake I would not alter. Knowing as I did that the connection was mine, it did strike me to be an offer worthy your notice. I found also that no one was on the ground before me representing you, nor had any advice letters been received. With the impres sion on my mind 'that the offer would be accepted by you, I passed on to Pontef'act, then toDewsbury, the last town before I reached Huddersfield, where your answer was to meet me. A customer there said he wanted no goods, and, as he was going on ajourney, it would be better for me to draw upon him as usual, at two months, dated the Ist of February which acceptance was drawn 2.31. l Is. Od.; in your name, and, as a natural inference, no use whatever to me. This I did, but with no other object in view than for you to realize a payment, struck also by the thought that yore representative might have bean taken ill, and all s!ending a ll in the country, as I found (but he had bee n started several days before I ac tually not b itnelYv you) .Iwas going to leave.

We may safely state that the appearance of any work of the learned Professor Dollinger, in the English language, would be most acceptable to our country. But the universally-acknow ledged want of an Ecclesiastical Hist.wy in our language will, it is trusted, render the appearance of the present work the more acceptable to all who desire to become acquainted with the first institu , ion and the many interesting events which have accompanied the progresi of the Church of Christ. The pre ent volume will be found rich in learned disquisitions, which, from the depth and originality of thought which distinguished them, cannot fail to be interesting and pleasing to all.

Od. of that person ; therefore, to take this bill of my friend, I received 61. Bs. Oil. of a third customer. You were then entitled to 10/. 133. Od. ; minus my commission 7% per cent., and stamp 2s. Id., on 34/. 4s. 0,1., amounting to 2t. 13s. 4d., leaving a balance due to you in ca4lof the small sum of 71. 19s. 7d. ; and the acceptance and this are all the money I received between London and Huddersfield of yours; and but for the simple fact of my offer from Wakefield, I would not have received one penny. If I do not speak the words of truth, disprove it. When I reached Huddersfield I .received a reply to my Wake field letter, written in a friendly way, but that you were not open to a fresh contract, and from that period to now I have not received one penny. On the Bth inst. I made up a letter to you, enclosing the 23/. Ils., giving you a statement of the transactions, and telling you the eircumt.nnees under which these accounts were paid, and that I would p iv you the balance, 71. 19s. 7d., in any way you pleased when I heard from you again. After the many large towns I passed through before I got to Dewsbury, the thousands I have turned over for you, and that to your advantage, for you have never added one clerk more to the counting-house, I feel fully persuaded that in your more deliberate moments you do not entertain the thought that this small sum of 71. 19s. 7d. was re-eived by me but with the intention of being regularly accounted for, as, in fact,, it was ; for there must naturally be an open account until I am paid my commission for my sales up to the time of leaving. That the long standing connexion betwei n us has ceesed is not attributable to me, is still my firm conviction ; this, how ever, you can do—furnish me with a copy of the letters I wrote on the 2-It'a of September, and the 11th of October, on this subject, and I beg to say, I think you are bound in candour to do this after :he unmerited attack you have made on me, and that when I was 200 miles ea?, and without, at ail events, waiting for an explanation. By these letters I will stand or fall, and it will be then seen whether I left you or you left me. That I acted faithfully and laboriously for your welfare is known to all the customers. That I stuck to your interest in all its bearings, according to my ability, like the hammer to the beaten anvil, you must admit, not thinking any exertions or pecuniary sacrifice too great to prevent bad debts and get in the accounts ; and if you will look to my last year's business you will find an average of 15s. paid on all my accounts, and I believe 50/. covered the bad debts last year made by me ; and I can only add, the notice which you have given so prematurely, by way of caution, was perfectly unwarranted. Finally, it is important for me to state, that you hold the commissions due to me on the whole of my last half-year's account, which, with balances also unpaid, wilt amount, I expect, to something like 4,000/. The actual sum you can soon know by reference to your ledger. Had I continued to coll.e r et your accounts, my due would have been 300/. And now, Sir, after the attack you have made, without even writing me on the subject, you ought, as one act of reparatibia, to pay me my commis sion in full on the amount outstanding, without delay or deduc tion for collecting, and:to send me a check down, after taking off the 71. 19s. 7d, received by me at Dewsbury, errors, if any, and any claims you have upon me. Do this, furnish me with a copy of my letters dated September 24, October 11, and February 8, and let me have my journey ledger signed, ha con formity with the balance you claimed and I paid on the 4th of January, as I have never had the opportunity of examining its correctness, and then all further connexion between us will entirely cease. At all events lam anxious, after what has taken place, to have the accounts between us finally balanced, and to effect that I am quite ready to leave any question as to 'allowance of the 74 commission to be settled by any respectable commercial gentleman, to be agreed upon between us. As it cannot be expected that I should remain here at ex pense and loss of time to await your answer, I have left the whole matter in the hands of my solicitor, Air. Leeman, of this place, to whom you will be good enough to address any commu nication which you may have to make upon the business. I am, Sir, your obedient servant, R. W. WHITFIELD.

THE ADVANTAGES OF LIVING IN A CELLAR. Living in a cellar approximates, it must be confessed, to a very primitive mode of existence. " The most original people in the world," the Arabs, dig boles in the ground, which they inhabit, provided always that they cannot find a sarcophagus or mummy-pit in which conveniently to take up their abode. They are fond of their " mother earth ;" and it must *be a gratification to those who are "low in the world," in this our " ar tificial state of society," to be able to cite such ancient authority for dwelling on, or rather in, the ground floor. Such an abode has its advantages toe, as the case of Peter Slooney evidences. The said Peter was summoned by one Mrs Run dge, his landlady, for 11. 19s. I Id. (reduced from a debt of 3/. 15..), for the ror.t of a front parlour. Peter's craft and circumstances are set forth accurately in the lines— " A dobb!er there was who lived in a stall That served him for kitchen," &c. " I've told Mr. Slooney as good as fifty times," said Mrs. Rutledge, "that he might go, goods and all; but he will bide in my house." Slooney shook his head " very wilfully" at his land lady ; but his grievances, if he had any, seemed toe weighty for him. " Why don't yon accept this liberal offer, Mr. Sloo ney ?" said the Commissioner ; " th 2 plaintiff can take your goods ; and her wish to let you off without paying your rent is very kind of her." " Kind of her !" exclaimed the little lapstone, threit ing his head forward, and staring like an astonished calf. " Take. my goods! Why her peace o' mind wouldn't let her. I'm a ruinatcd tradesman through this here wile ooman and that there hunder mining waggerbun as lives in the cellar." " Oh you ungrateful villain !" shrieked Mrs. Rol ledge, grinding her teeth at him. " Don't let her come at me," cried the defendant, shuffling away from his landlady. who was " tall and straight," and looking imploringly at the officer of the Court. " Don't, don't," said he, giving his head a fear ful shake, as his Amazonion opponent drew back from an apparent onslaught upon him. " Proceed, Mr. Slooney," said the Commissioner. S'ooney proceeded to unburden himself of his griev ances, ever and anon giving a suspicious glance at his formidable landlady. His was certainly a hard case. About two years since he had fixed upon the house of the plaintiff as one in which he was likely to " get a good bit o' trade," and after waiting anxiously for two or three months, he was fortunate enough to find ;be front parlour empty. He seized the desirable apartment with avidity, and installing himself in it, leather, lap stones, and all, commenced business. In a very short time trade flourished with him ; his connexion grew numerous and respectable, and he Was thinking of taking an apprentice, when, unfortunate to relate, Mrs. Rutledge let the cellar underneath Mister Slooney to another cobler. Here was Greek against Greek, and the tug of war, or rather leather, commenced in earnest. " All my working a matter o' three month afore Bussell (the cellarman) come to live under me warn't o' no use," said Slooney ; " he underminded and circum vented me in every job I tried arter." And Mister Slooney went on to relate the conse quences to him of free trade in leather. No sooner did a customer present himself before the domicile of Slooney, with a pair of boots or shoes to heel, sole, or piece, than Bussell, before his rival could open bis window, would pop his head up out of his lodging in the ground, tell a long tale in his own behalf, and to the prejudice of his up-stairs neighbour, and then offer to do the work under Slooney. The fellow was a punster, and he contri-ed to pick from Slooney's pocket, that is, he soon drew the whole cobbling trade in the neighbourhood into his cellar, and Peter was obliged to let his rent get in arrear. The Learned ComattS,IONEB, baring patiently heard Mr. Slooney's tale, said he was sorry he could do no thing for him. Mrs.Rolledge had a perfect right to let her apartments to any body she pleased.- ' Slooney—But how can I work agin a man as pays only Is. 911. a week, while I pays 4s. 3d. ? hofl'ered to give up the front parlour, if so be as he'll let me have -the cellar. Mrs. Rutledge said she couldn't think of such a thing. " Ah!" said the unfortunate defendant, once more shaking hiS head, " its worry clear to me as you inter duced that there feller into the cellar to take a hard bit o' bread out o' my mouth. It's all over the street, your Worship (addressing the Commissioner), as she's a-going to have him (marry him). I sees how it is." Mrs. Rul:ege blushed up to the eyes, and by her si leuee, evidently owned the soft impeachment. Peter was ordered to pay the 1/. 19s. at 4s. per month. " Never !" said Peter ; " not if I dies in prison. No waggtrburn in a cenar shan't hive no money out o' me." COURT OF REQUESTS. TOWER HAMLETS. THE " SOCIAL SysTEm."LPerhaps in no coun•ry are words more abused and misapplied than in England. There are more "social systems" th n Owen's, as the following report of the proceedings of this Court will prove. Josiah Muggins, a tall lantern-jaived,tailor, summoned a little scrubby-faced mechanic, named Wil liams, for the sum of 17s, the amount of the balance alleged to be due to him for making a coat. " Under what circumstances was his debt contsactedr asked the CONIMISnONER. Defendant (elevating his diminutive person to the highest possible pitch)—Vy, my Lord, this here's a hitt stitootion imented to enable a poor man to get decent togs arout much trouble to his self. A very good institution too. Pray explain the rys tem.—Vy, it's on the social system, like ; ye all sub. scribes for the benefit of each other. Indeed! Is it Mr. Owen's system ?—Carn't s*y tether it's his'n or not ; but there ar'n't nobody o' that name belonging, to our consarn ; but I've sartinlY heard on him afore, though I cat'nt !a: I knows him. Do you know anything about the New Mor WorM?—Knows nothin' about any tallier world but this here, cos 1 never had the advantage of form tilt. Upon what principle is your society conducted ? Just this here, my Lord—So many working men meets at a public-house once a week, and pa . !s in eighteen pence each to a tailor, and we draws some hartiele oat every week. My chance come six weeks back, but I gave it up to my cousin Bill, CO3 he'd lost his babby. When your chance came round again, I suppose yon had this coat ?—That's true, and a very bad bargain I've got. What is the matter with it, didn't he make t to fit you ?—Not by no means, my Lord. The fact is, it fitted me too much ; when I got into it, it 'ud a held a truss o' bay arterwards.—( Laughter.) He measured you before he made it, did he not ?--k -0 yes ; but then, I rather thinks, he got into a state o' licker arterwards, and lost it ; and measured the water butt instead, But didn't he alter it for you ?—Ycs, he did, and made it about big enough to button round a lamppost. But the cloth :lent good for not bin', anybody wi' goe eyes might see to read through it.—(Lrughter.j Plaintiff—That's not true. It's made of the very best Saxony broad cloth, douhlc-milled and damped down. It has a D'Orsay cut collar, and the' skirts aro elegantly tapered off a la Stultz, upon my honour. Defendant—Could buy a better for five hog (.55.) any day in Wig-toil. • Plaintiff—That's decidedly false. The fact is, Sir, this coat is made of a peculiar and valuable cloth, manu• fictuied in the neighbourhood of Saxe Gotha, and is patronised by Prince Albert himself. Defendant—Vell, my Lord, purviding that's the case, I can only say as how I shall be happy to sell it to Prince Albert on very reasonable terms, cos it ar'nt no use to me whatsumever. COMMISSIONER—What sum have you reocived foe this coat already, Mr. Muggins ? Plaintiff—Only 2/. Gs. ; it's well worth four guineas. CommissioNEa—We are of opinion that you have been paid 'its utmost value, and shall, therefore, dis charge the SIIMITI3IS. The tall snip, upon hearing this decision, looked bod kins as he stalked out of the Court, and the defendant expressed his determintion of having no more clothes on the " social system." LIE CHURCH AND DISSENT.—The High Church party at Windsor and at Eton College were terribly annoyed, eight or ten days ago, at the idea, and now they are ten thousand times more annoyed at the fact, of a dissenting clergyman accompanying the Vicar of the parish to court, on Wednesday last, to present the Windsor congratulatory address to the Queen. The Church party consider that orthodoxy and dissent were a curiou s pai r to be united ; and they attach much blame to the Vicar for being so easy about the matter, and threaten " to send him to Coventry" for his contumacy. The Rev. Mr Selwyn, who was one of the deputation ap pointed to go up with the address, flatly refused to budge an inch, and therefore, the Mayor and Dr. Fergusson, in court dresses, with bag-wig and sword accompaniments, and the Vicar and the Rev. Mr. Stoughton, in canonicals, proceeded to town without the obstinate protege of Eton College. This circumstance is only worth mentioning to show the virulent feelings of the High Church party towards those " who worship the same God at a different altar. "—Sunday Times. INDIAN SWANKILLING.—These are, as dk in all places, very shy ; it is difficult to approach them without cover ; but the Indians have adopted a mode of killing them which is very successful ; that of drift;ng upon the flocks at night, in a canoe, in the bow of which a large tire of pitch pine has been kindled. The swans are cazzled and apparently stupi fled by the bright light, and fall easy victims to the craft of the spo• rtsman Totenshend's Sporti ng E xcurs i ons in the Rocky Mountains.
