THE RUSSIAN PRISONERS AT LEWES.—Another of
the Russian prisoners escaped from the Lewes war prison
shortly before five o'clock on Friday afternoon ; and he
is suppostia to have done so in the same manner as the
other, who got out about three weeks ago—namely, by
getting on the roof of the guard-house, and from there
to the top of the wall, from which he mu-t have dropped
into the street, a depth of about twelve feet. This is the
lowest part of the wall, and. is the only place where the
top of it can be reached from the inside. As soon as the
prisoner was missed, several of the warders and pen
sinners were sent in search of him, and he was shortly
aftewaris discovered in the King's Arms, a public-house
not far from the prison, where he had just purchased
half-a-pint of rum. The prisoners ate not entirely confined
within the wails, as Lieut. Mann. the governor, takes
them out in parties of from 150 to 200 almost every
morning ; they are generally taken to some portion
of the South Downs, where they are allowed to
enjoy themselves for two or three hours in various
athletic sports and exercises. Small parties of the
men are also allowed out in the town. accompanied
by one warder, and there wander about as they
please, so that they ate not totally deprived of
liberty. During the seven months the Russians have
been confined here, no less than seven have died,
the three last within a 'week of each other ; the first,
on Saturday. March 31, of pneumonia ; the second, on
Sunday, April 8, of acute dysentery ; and the third, on
Sunday, A tiril 15, also of dysentery. At the itiquest on the
last, Dr. Burton; the prison surgeon, gave it as his opi-
nion that the Finnish prisoners had not th same strength
of constitution as Englishmen and were not so well able
to struggle against disease. We understand there are
about twenty more in hospital, and the tote' nuint:er in
the prison amounts to about 150.

[ADVERTISEMENT.] Tire WAR IN THE EAST. —POWERFUL
PATENT RECONNOITRING GLASSES Messrs. S. and B. Solo-
mons, opticians, 39, Albemarle-street, Piccadilly. lbserve
opposite the York Hotel. By her Majesty's Roya
Letters Patent for valuable and extraordinary improvements
in the most powerful and brilliant Telescopes, Camp, Race-
course, Opera, and Perspective Glasses, to know the distances
of objects viewed through them—of great importance to the
army, navy, and others. These telescopes possess such extra-
ordinary powers that some 3A inches, with an extra eye-
piece, will show distinctly Jupiter's moons, Saturn's ring;
and the double stars; with the same telescope can be
seen a person's counter ance three miles and a half distant,
and an object from 16 5,)20 miles. They are of larger and all
sizes, with increasing -o,wers accordingly ; while their vary-
ing from 4 to 6 inches enab e us to discover more than the
above, and the Georgia', with his 6 satellites, &c.—The Royal
Exhibition, 1851.—Valuable, ❑ewly-invented, very small,
powerful waistcoat-pocket glass,the size of a walnut, by which
a person can be seen and known 1i miles distant ; they answer
every purpose on the race-course, and at the opera► houses,
country scenery, and ships are clearly seen at 8 to 10 miles.
They are invaluable for shooting, deer-stalking, yachting, to
sportsmen, gentlemen, gamekeepers, and tourists. Opera,
race-course, camp, and perspective glasses, with wonderful
power.—Newly constructed Spectacle Lenses of the great-
est transparent power The valuable advantage derived
from this invention is, that vision becoming impaired is
preserved and strengthened, and very aged persons are
enabled to employ their sight at the most minute occu-
pation—can see with these lenses of a much less magnify-
ing power—and they do not require the frequent changes
to the dangerous effects of further powerful assistance. Deaf-
ness—New Discovery.—The Organic Vibrator, an extraordi-
nary powerful, Kmall, newly-invented instrument for deafness,
entirely different from all others, to surpass anything of the
kind that has been, or probably ever can be, produced.
Being of the same colour as the skin, is not perceptible ; it
enables deaf persons to hear distinctly at church and at
public assemblies ; the unpleasant sensation of singing noises
in the ears is entirely removed ; and it affords all the assist-
ance that possibly could be desired. 39, Albemarle-street
Piccadilly. Observe -opposite the York Hotel.
