SIG-HT and HEARING. TESTIMO-
NIALS on the Messrs. S. and B. SOLOMONS' newly
invented SPECTACLE LENSES and INVISIBLE OPERATIVE
VOICE CONDUCTOR for DEAF PERSONS.

From James Blundell, Esq , M.D.
" I have now tried for some time the Messrs. Folomons' 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 of the transparency brings every object
very distinct; they can be fully appreciated only by those who, like
' thyself, 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. Solomon;' newly invented Spectacle Lenses ; the astonishing
relief t hey afford to impel feet vision gives them the decided prefer_
tare to every other kind of Lens—the clearne,s of the transparency
brings every object very distinct, and enables individuals to view the
kost minute particle with perfect accuracy. These Lenses are par.
titularly pleasant by candle light, being cooling to the sight, end
softening the bright and brilliant lights.

N.B. The remainder of the contracts between the Summit
Tunnel and Manchester will be ready for letting before Mid-
ummer.

mile above Woodhead, on the Saltersbrook-road to Sheffield,
and 18 miles from Manchester, and extends into Yorkshire to
near Dunford-bridge over the river Dun, six miles above Pe-
niston. The strata in the tunnel are presumed to alternate in
rock and shale. The shafts and boreholes will be let singly or
otherwise.

The Ardwick Contract commences at the Junction with the
Manchester and Birmingham Railway, near Blind-lane, Ard-
wick, at the outskirts of the eastern side of Manchester, and ex-
tends to near the Gorton Reservoir, opposite the Fairfield-walls,
on the new road to Ashton-under-Lyne, a distance of two and
three-quarter miles. The work consists of about 20 bridges,
several culverts, an aqueduct for the Stockport branch of the
Ashton Canal, a great extent of retaining walls, and about
180,000 cubic yards of excavation.
The Carlcoates Contract extends from the eastern face of the
tunnel, near Dunford-bridge, about a mile down the valley of
the river Dun. The work includes some bridges and culverts,
and the diversion of the river Dun and the adjacent brooks. The
excavation will go partly to spoil. The above contract is situate
six miles west of Peniston, and about eight miles south of Hud.
dersfield.

the turnpike-road from Mottram, in Longdendale, towards
Stockport ,to the west end of the Etherow viaduct at Old
Broadbottom-brow, on the river Etherow, dividing Cheshire
and Derbyshire, and opposite Best-hill-mill, being a distance of
about one mile and fourteen chains. The work includes several
bridges, a short viaduct, and a considerable extent of retaining
walls, and about 300,000 yards of earthwork, some of which
will go to spoil. The above is situated nine or ten miles east
of Manchester, and about a mile south of Mottram.

The Gamesley Contract extends from the east end of the
Etherow viaduct to the west end of the great viaduct at Dinting-
vale, en the turnpike-road, a mile below Glossop, and about
twelve miles from Manchester. This work contains several
bridges and culverts, and about 480,000 cubic yards of ex-
cavation.

Company, in Sheffield and Manchester ; or, at the office of Mr.

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, with spring
seats, 455. each ; mahogany chairs in horse-hair seating, 134. 9d.

M. M ALLAN and SON, Surgeon Dentists, 32,Great Russeil-street,

NER AL SUCCEDANEUM (of which they are the Sole INVEN-
TORS and POSSESSORS), without pain, heat, sr pressure, and
FASTEN LOOSE TEETH, whether Arising from age, neglect, dis-
ease of the Gums, the use •f Calomel, er any ether cause. They
have also discovered a NEW COMPOSITION for ARTIFICIAL
TEETH. A peculiar advantage attending Teeth made from this
SUBSTANCE is, that they are totally impervious te acids.
ARTIFICIAL TEETH have hitherto been found objectionable
by INVALIDS taking MEDICINES which have a tendency to
DISCOLOUR them, and by persons of bilious habits. The Messrs.
M. have been successful in obviating these objections by their NEW
DISCOVERY, and they can fix the above without extracting the
STUMPS, or causing any incumbrance, and even en GUMS of
the most tender nature, protecting the adjoining Teeth, however
loose. N. WIRES or LIGATURES are used, and they MATCH
the ORIGINAL TEETH in point of Shape and Colour. GUA-
RANTEED for MASTICATION and ARTICULATION. In
consequence of their improvements in the mechanical department of
Dentistry, they are enabled to reduce their charges to the follow.

DR. GRANVILLE'S delightful Work,
' THE SPAS of GERMANY,' will no doubt
induce many persons to visit those celebrated springs who
stand in need of renovated health. In cases, however, where
the baths are not indispensable, and when the chalybeate pro-
perties of the Seidlitz waters are only required internally, the
GERMAN SEIDLITZ POWDERS, manufacted by Mr.
WRAY, Chemist, of Holborn-hill, will no doubt answer every
purpose, as we understand that a correct analysis, by several
eminent professors of chemistry, has proved that these powders
contain the valuable mineral tonic of the celebrated real
waters. "—Court Journal, July 27, 1837.
These celebrated powders are prepared only by M. 0. Wray ;
and sold, wholesale and retail, at 118, Holborn-hill, and 9,
Agar-street, Strand, in boxes containing powders for twelve
glasses, at 21. each, and in bottles fitted in cases, with spoon,
measure, &c., complete, at 7s. 6d. and 10s. 6d. each, very con-
venient for travelling or exportation.
Also, Wray's Improved Sodiac, Ginger Beer, and Lemonade
Powders, in packets for eighteen tumblers, is. and Is. 3d., or
in cases complete for travelling, at ss. 6d. and 7s. 6d. each.
Common Seidlitz to make twenty-four glasses, 35. per packet.
A liberal allowance to Merchants and Captains.

property. Others, who may entertain similar views, are invited
to join them. Qualification, of a member of the Society, the
purchase of one hundred acres of land ; of a member of the
Committee, five hundred acres, including part of the first town.

Company on the emigration of the purchasers, their families,
and servants. Members admitted by ballot only.
The Colony will depart in a body during August next, so as
to reach their destination about Midsummer (in the southern
hemisphere), when the site of the first town will have been de-
termined and prepared for their reception, by a preliminary ex-
pedition now on its way to New Zealand.
The Committee meets daily at the offices of the New Zealand
Land Company, No. 1, Adam-street, Adelphi, where further
information may be obtained, on application (if by letter, post-
