INCREASE IN THE PRICE OF BREAD.—Yesterday,
great number of the bakers in the metropolis raised the
price 9f bread, much to the inconvenience of the poor
families in the various localities, especially as there are
at present so many workmen on strike. The price of
bread for some time past averaged from 64d. per 41b.
loaf for seconds, and 6d. for the best description, but
during the past month the price has been about 6id.
per 41b. loaf for seconds, and 7d. for best. Yesterday
bills, posted in the various shop-windows, announced
the prices to be Vid. for household bread, and as much
as Bd. to 81d. for the best bread sold at the West-end
and the other higher localities.
NEW CAB COMPANIES.—In consequence of the
"strike" amongst the cab proprietors and the drivers,
there have been no less than five different cab companies
spoken of as being in course of formation, but we be-
lieve that only two out of this number are at present
seriously entertained. The object of the promoters is
to supply a public vehicle to suit the present taste and
wants of the London public, combining elegance of de-
sign, lightness of construction, and comfort in its use—
somewhat after the model of the flys now in use
at Hastings, and other watering-places. Care will
also be taken in the selection of the drivers,
who, it need scarcely be added, will be required
to produce some evidence of their sobriety, civility,
and respectability. Every inducement will be held
out to the men to conduct themselves to the
entire satisfaction of the public, so as to form
such a striking contrast with those now in ab-
solute command of the cab business of the metropolis
as to secure the preference of the public in the selection
of the companies' vehicles. Calculations have been made,
showing that the proprietary will be able to afford to
the drivers a comfortable living without their having re-
course to extortion. The system now in operation, of
letting out the cabs and horses, will be that adopted.
It is, however, understood that some modification of the
present Hackney Carriage Bill will be respectfully re-
presented to Government as necessary, but one of the
chief objects of the promoters will be to give effect to the
intentions of the Legislature in passing that measure.
The present is a most favoura b!e opportunity for the in-
troduction of such an undertaking to public notice, and
there can be no doubt that it would meet with the ap-
probation of Government, and obtain its sanction and
encouragement. The price of the shares of one com-
pany is to be 117., and of the other 51. each
DISTRESSED NEEDLEWOMEN'S Hoein.—Yesterday a
special meeting of the committee of this institution was
held at the Home, 15, Carburton-street, Fitzroy-square,
which was numerously attended. The Lady Lister
Kaye having taken the chair, the secretary reported the
result of the concert, which, considering the shortness of
the notice and the lateness of the season, was very satis-
factory, the room being nearly filled with a highly-re-
spectable company, including several members of the
aristocracy, who are the patronesses of the institution
after after which it was unanimously resolved--‘, That
best thanks of this institution are due, and are hereby
given, to Miss Ransford, Miss L. Baxter, the Misses
Cole, Miss Clara Frazer, Madame Weiss, Miss Messent,

municate the same to them." After a little other busi-
ness the meeting adjourned.

[AnvenTiseemeereHolloway's Ointment and Pills
are superior remedies for the cure of erysipelas.—Mr.
William Parsons, of St. George s, Pill, near Bristol, was
afflicted for upwards of two years with 'erysipelas in his
legs,
so bad at times as to lay him up for a month toge-
ther ; the medical aid he received, besides a weekly at-
tendance at the Bristol Infirmary, had no good Affect
whatever in the disease, consequently he determined on
giving Holloway's Ointment and Pills a trial, and they
have been the means of effecting a radical cure of his
legs in an almost unprecedented short time.--Sold by
all druggists, and at Professor Holloway's establishment,
244, Strand, Londe's.
LADVERTISEIVEKNT.I,—THE CAMP AT CHOBHAM.—
39, Albemarle-street, iecadill.—Observe, opposite the
York Hotel. The Royal Exhibition. A valuable,
newly-invented, very small powerful waistcoat-pocket
glass, the size of a walnut, by which a person
can be seen and known one mile and a half distant ;
they answer every purpose on the race-course, at the
opera-houses, country scenery, and ships are clearly seen
at 12 to 14 miles. They are invaluable for shooting, deer-
stalking, yachting, to sportsmen, gentlemen, gamekeepers,
and tourists. Telescopes—A new and most important
invention in telescopes, possessing such extraordinary
powers that some 3,1, inches, with an extra eye-piece, will
show distinctly "ni m ter's oons, Saturn's ring, and the
double stars ; with the same telescope, weighing only 3
ounces, can be seen a person's countenance three miles
and a half distant, and an object from 16 to 20 miles.
They supersede every other kind for the waistcoat-pocket,
and are of larger and all sizes, with increasing powers
accordingly. Opera and race-course glasses, with wonderful
power; an object can be clearly seen, from 14 to 16 miles
distant. Messrs. S. and B. Solomons opticians, have in-
vented invaluable preserving spectacle lenses. Immediately
they are placed before imperfect vision, every object
appears clear and distinct; the most aged, defective sight
becomes bright and brilliant, is brought to its youthful,
natural, and original state. Deafness—New Discovery—
The Organic Vibrator, an extraordinary powerful and
newly-invented instrument, for Deafness, entirely different
from all others, to surpass anything of the kind that has
been, or probably ever can be, produced. Being of the
same colour as the Ekin, it is not perceptible; it enables
deaf persons to hear distinctly at church and at public as-
semblies ; the unpleasant sensation of singing noises in
the ears is entirely removed ; and it affords all the assist-
ance that possibly could be desired.—S. and B. Solomons,
Aurists and Opticians, 39, Albemarle-street., Piccadilly.
