Ma. BARTLEY.— This veteran comedian will take a
farewell benefit at the Princess's Theatre next Saturday,
as Falstaff in Henry IV., under the patronage of her Ma-
jesty. The day will be the 50th anniversary of his first
appearance on the stage. After the play Mr. Bartley will
address the audience on his final retirement from the
theatrical profession, to which he has so long been a credit
and an ornament. _

COAL IN THE SOVEREIGNTY.—We are in possession of a
coal, which may be obtained in abundance on the Sandt
River, district of Winburg. This coal appears to us to
one of
f our first-rate
school-boy quality
pastimes—that; and w

means of a tobacco-pipe. When the town of Bloemfon-
tein shall have attained to a more compact shape, we
hope to have our stores, streets, &c., lighted with gas.
We understand that certain boers in the vicinity of the
mines, are ready to transport any quantity hither at lOs
per muid. Should use be found for any extensive supply
we doubt not that it could be obtained at a more econo-
mical rate.—Cape Town Mail, Nov. 6.

39, Albemarle-street, Piccadilly. Observe, opposite the
York Hotel. The Organic Vibrator, an extraordinary
powerful, small, newly-invented instrument, for deafness
entirely different from all others to surpass anything of the
kind that has been or probably ever can boproduced, being
of the same colour as the skin, is not perceptible ; it en-
ables deaf persons to hear distinctly at church and at public
assemblies ; the unpleasant sensation of singing noises in
the ears are entirely removed ; and it affords all the assist-
ance that possibly could be desired. The Royal Exhibition
—Valuable newly:invented, very small powerful waistcoat
pocket glass, the size of a walnut, to discern minute objects
at a distance of from four to five miles, which is found to
be invaluable, for yachting, and to sportsmen, gentlemen,
and gamekeepers. Telescopes, possessing such extraordi-
nary power, that some 36 inches, with an extra eye piece,
will show distinctly Jupiter's moons, Saturn's ring, and
the double stars. They supersede every other kind, and
are of all sizes for the waistcoat pocket, shooting, military
purposes, &c. Opera and race-course glasses with wonder-
ful power; a minute object can be clearly seen from 10
to 12 miles distant. Invaluable newly-invented spectacle.
