CABINET UPHOLSTERY and BED-
DING, at the CABINET-MAKERS' TRADING
SOCIETY, 71, LEADENHALL-STREET, enrolled agree.
ably to Act of Parliament ; being the Manufacturers in all its
branches. . .

The system upon which this is conducted precludes the pos-
sibility of competition for cheapness, quality, and durability, as
no house in London can manufacture at their prices. The
Society wishes it to be thoroughly understood that they do not
receive hawked goods for sale, like the baracers and haber-
dashers, but they make every article themselves, which enables
them confidently to warrant their goods of the best materials,
and if any fault appears within twelve months, it will be made
good free of charge. A trial is earnestly solicited of those about
to furnish, as the only criterion by which the merits and de-
cided advantage of purchasing at this establishment can be fairly
estimated.

The funds of this Society provide for the members in sick-
ness, old age, and burial ; they therefore sincerely hope that
their humble endeavours will meet with public patronage.
Estimates given, and orders punctually executed; and lists
of prices may be had, from which the following is an extract :
Mahogany lounging chairs, covered with leather, vi;th spring
seats, 455. each ; mahogany chairs in horse-hair seating, 13.. 9d.

Li NI ALS on the Messrs. S. and B. SOLOMONS' newly
invented SPECTACLE LENSES and VOICE CONDUCTOR for
Deaf Persons.

Froni James Blundell, Esq , M.D.:—
" I hare now tried for some time the Messrs. Solomons' newly
invented Spectacle Lenses, and have experienced much benefit ; they
are far preferable to my vision than any other Lens; the relief is
very great= in particular by candle light, and in course of use for a
length of time the clearness or the transparency brings every object
vary distinct; .they can be fully appreciated only by those who, like
myself, may stand in need of them.

" " JAMES BLUNDELL, M.D.
No. 1, Great George-street, Westminster."
" We, the undersigned, have been for some time making use of
Messrs. Solomons' newly invented Spectacle Lenses ; the astonishing
relief they afford to imperfect vision gives them the decided prefer-
ence to every other kind of Lens—the clearness of the transparency
brings every object very distinct, and enables individuals to view the
most minute particle with perfect accuracy. They are particularly
pleasant by candle light, as they appear cooling to the sight, and
soften bright and brilliant light.

couraged by the still increasing prosperity of their Journal, hays
determined upon the publication of a serves of Portraits,

surpassing beauty with which it will is carried out. The ap-
pearance of " THE NATIONAL GALLERY," whether
considered as a work of art. or with reference to its easy posses-
sion by the very humblest of the land, will form as extraerdi-
xary epoch in the history of the English Press.
