FYESIGHT and DEFECTIVE HEAR-
.ING.—The success of Mr. ELIA SOLOMON'S
P TENT SPECTACLES, and a similarity of names favouring the
deception, has induced parties to offer publicly as a new invention,
professing to relieve simultaneously Visioa and Deafness, c. mmen
Glasses of many years' standing, ground on the principle of the Pe-
riscopic Lens (the Meniscus employed for Spctacks forty years ago),
and which are highly injurious to t,,e sight These quack and ab-
surd misrepresentations, unsupported by weight or authority, m'ght
hare been safely allowed to pass unnoticed before the eyes of a
dis-
cerning public ; but as the names of some medical gentl men are
used, it behoves one to inquire by what means or on what grcunds,
their signatures have been obtained (if obtained at all) as sanctioning
a direct untruth by proclaiming such as " Newly-invented Spectacle
Lenses," which are unanswerably nothing more than common
glasses, of a pink or purple tint, to be purchased at the above estab-
lishment, at Is. (id. per pair.
Mr. E's. VOICE CONDUCTORS for DEAF PERSONS have

hearing ; are worn unperceived, being constructed on a smaller scale
than any hitherto offered, measuring only ore quarter of al inch in
diameter ; possess the peculiar power of conveying the slightest
sound with accurate distinctness, affording at the same time the
greatest ease and assistance in all cases of Deafness.

Exchange.
From Sir Anthony Carlisle, F.R.S., President of tho Royal College
of Surgeons, and Senior Surgeon to the Westminster Hospital, &c.
Mr. Elia Solomons' Spectacle Lenses seem to ms likely to affbrd ad-
ditional aids to imperfect vision, and because of their superior re-
fracting powers to glass or other dense materials, they promise to
afforda ew resources for the construction of Spectacles
ANTHONY CARLISLE, F RS , Langham.place.
From Dr. J. Johnson, Physician Extraordinary to the late King, &c.
I have been using and am still using Mr. Ella Solomons' Amber
Spectacles, and find them more pleasant to the Eye than any other
glasses which I have tried.
JAMES JOHNSON, M.D., 9, Suffblk-place.
From Bransby Cooper, Esq., F.R.S., Surgeon to Guy's Hospital, &c.
From the use I have made of an Amber Lens, and comparing it
with those in ordinary glasses, I have no hesitation in saying that, to
my sight, the former is infinitely preferable, in being less trying to
the Eye.

BRANSBY COOPER, 2, New-street, Spring-gardens.
am much pleased with Mr. Elia Solomons' Amber Lenses, and a
Gentleman who made trial of them for several days says that they re-
lieve the Eye much more than any Glasses he has before us d.
MARTIN WARE, New Bridge-street.
I have examined the Ambe, Spectacles made by Mr. Elia Solomons,
and I am of o; inion that they are c imitated to answer e. cry purpose
for which they are intended—that they soften the light to sve,k and
irritable Eyes, and are likely to be useful to persons whose sight is
thus affected—being preferable to Glass or Pebbles.

nom an examination of the Amber Lenses, I have every reason to
conclude tint they possess many and decided advantages over the or.
denary Glass Spectacles.

The greatest excitement existed in the neighbourhood
of Tootey-street yesterday, in consequence of a report
which appeared in many of the Sunday Newspapers that a
child had been roasted alive by its mother, in Dog and
Bear-court, on Friday night. Throughout the day men
were parading the streets in the vicinity, and vending
penny accounts of the " Horrid Murder,"
and a very
strong feeling was expressed against the parties implicated
in the alleged hitherto almost unparalleled case of atrocity.
At scr,n o'clock last night an inquisition 'was taken upon
the body of the deceased, whose name was Ann Ward,
aged six years, before Mr. Payne, Coroner, at Guy's
Hospital.
It appeared, however, from the evidence, that the death
of the girl had been caused by her clothes catching fire,
ar:d that the mother, though deranged, had shown her
great kindness.
The Jury unanimously returned a verdict of " Acciden-
tal Death."

Work, by the Author of " Shakspeare and his Friends,"
every individual of any celebrity has been introduced
whose name was connected with that of his distinguished
contemporary. Of Shakspeare's Stratford associates here

he was eighteen), John A'Combe, the usurer

the play writers, Robert Greene, Kit Marlowe, Lodge,
Nash, Chettle, and Ky d ; besides a variety of other cha-
racters, chiefly imaginary, necessarily introduced to render
the nork a perfect picture of the times it seeks to
pourtray.
SUDDEN DEA TH.---Mr• John Bellamy, for
many years honourably connected with the Newspaper
business:, died suddenly on Friday morning, at has resi-
dence, Lincoln's Inn-fields. On the previous evening he
had given a party to a numerous circle of friends, and re-
tired to rest in his usual good health and spirits. A little
before five on Friday morning be ti as awakened with a
feeling that he could not account for. He rang the bell,
and told his servant of his extraordinary sensation. The
servant went for medical aid, but on his return a few
minutes afterwards, he found that his master, who was up
when he left him, had again got into bed, and that life wets
quite extinct.

At a meeting of the Committee of the Master
Boot and Shoemakers' Provident and Benevolent Institu-
titution, held at the Crown and Anchcr Tavern, Strand,
on the 20th instant, a massive and elegantly chased silver
snuff-box was presented to Mr. Henry Reeve, of 57,
Princes-street, Leicester-square, with an appropriate in-
scription, in testimony of his zealous and efficient services
rendered to that excellent institution, as Honorary Secre-
tary, and one of the founders to the same. This gratifying
token of esteem was accompanied by an appropriate address
from the President and Trustees of the Institution ; the
object of which is to erect an asylum, and provide for aged
and distressed master boot and shoemakers, their widows,
and orphans.

We understand that a serious accident occurred
on Saturday morning, at Drury lane Theatre. A lady
incautiously approached the cage in which Van Amburgh's
animals are confined, when the panther attacked her, and
injured her severely. It is said that her scalp is actually
torn off, and that her life is consequently in imminent peril.

AN EXTRAORDINAY FACT.--Connected with
recent conflagration at F,:rmoy, in which Mrs. W acid
her entire household property perished, there is a eireurn_
stance which can scarcely be accounted for or. mere na-
tural principles. It is this : that a Bible, which had 13,.,
placed on a shelf among several other books, escaped the
fire, and had been found among the ruins, with no other in.
jury save that of being much soiled on the outside, Not a
vestige of any of the books among which it had been placed
could be fonnd, and so destructive was the fire that not a
single portion of the remains of Mrs. Wall were found, nor
any other on which fire could take effect. —Limerick Paper.
