IN RE CHARLES EDMUND PERCEVAL.

Mr. COOKE made an application for a speedy hearing,
under somewhat extraordinary circumstances. The in-
solvent bad been arrested by his father, on a Judge's
order that he was about to leave the country. He de-
nied in his affidavit that he owed the debt, and alleged
that the arrest had taken place to prevent his marriage
with a lady on the following day. He set forth that
he had obtained a situation in an agricultural capacity
to proceed to Hungary, which he was anxious to under-
take. He prayed to be heard on the Ist November.
The COURT refused the application. •

INTERESTING TO LADIES.—The preservation
of the Complexion from the burning, pernicious influence
of the solar beam, was for ages a desideratum in science.
Half a century back Ladies suffered most severely from the
effects produced by excessive heat. The rapid progress
of science has happily brought to light a discovery of the
highest importance to the Female Fashionable World.
We allude to Rowland's celebrated Rely-dor, the auxiliary
friend, guardian, and protector of female beauty. In pro-
menading and aquatic parties, our lovely country women
are shielded by Rowland's Kalydor from injury ; and their
complexions remain as seductively charming and blooming
as the most florid writer could portray and for which they
are renowned throughout the world.
DEAFNESS AND DEFECTIVE VISION.—At
length those dreadful maladies are completely obviated,
without torture and serious risk by medical treatment.
The Messrs. S. and B. Solomons, Opticians and Aurists
to their Majesties the King and Queen of Hanover, and
their Royal Highnesses the Princesses Augusta and Sophia,
&c. &c., 96, Cheapside, and 39, Albemarle-street, Piece-
d. illy, have constructed a Voice Conductor, and newly-
invented Spectacle Lenses, which will be found in most
extreme cases to effect instant relief. It is seldom or
ever that an invention of striking merit is laid before the pub-
lic that ignorant pretenders do not start forth. In no case
is this more observable than in Ireland, as well as England,
by persons who not only assume the name of Solomons,
but actually as having a connexion with their houses, 96,
Cheapside, and 39, Albemarle-street. Numerous ladies
and gentlemen are daily calling who have been misled by
these pretenders, and who have made purchases of their
spurious imitations, which they term Voice-Conductors and
Spectacles, supposing them to be the Messrs. Solomons'
invention, which not only proved to be useless, but pro-
ductive of very ill effects. The Messrs. Solomons do not
employ any agents or travellers. Their improvements in
the materials are secret to themselves, and are solely con-
fined to their establishments, 39, Albemarle-street, and 96,
Cheapside.
