The Terrible steam-frigate, Captain M'Cleverty, is at
moorings in the stream, taking on board the remainder
of her stores for service at sea. A melancholy and fatal
accident occurred on Saturday to Mr. May, gunner of
the frigate. Mr. May was standing on the wharf-hall,
fronting the rigging-house, at the east end of the dock-
yard, superintending the receiving of the stores from
the rigging-house, for the purpose of having them con-
veyed in boats to the Terrible in the middle of the
stream, and while holding on a rope the purchase at the
other end pulled him over the wharf wall, and he fell a
height of about 12 feet across the gunwale of a boat,
by which he sustained such severe injuries that he died
almost instantaneously.

ROYAL SAPPERS AND MINERS.—WOOLWICH, June 27.
The whole of the Royal Sappers and Miners at head-
quarters here assembled in their barrack-square at half-
past 10 o'clock a.m. to-day, for the half-yearly inspec-
tion, by Colonel Blanshard, C. 8., commanding Royal
Engineers, who arrived at 11 o'clock, and made a
minute inspection of the men, their kits and appoint-
ments. The Commandant also inspected the interior of
the barracks, the record books, and the office, and ex-
pressed himself highly pleased with everything that
came under his notice.
THE PLAGUES OF PERSIA.—A letter from Erzeroum,
in Armen'a, contains the following :—" Yesterday's
gholaum brought us a batch of news from Persia of a
singular kind. It is no less than the appearance of a
number of visitations there at the same time, for there
have been inundations and cholera at Teheran, locusts
at Ispahan, and a terrible earthquake at Shiraz and
Cashan. At the former place 12,000 to 15,000 persons
are said to have been killed, as the disaster occurred
during the night, and the stench arising from the dead
bodies was such as to produce an epidemic very much
resembling the plague. From Teheran we hear that the
cholera has diminished. The British mission had, how-
ever, moved higher up the hills, as a matter.of pre-
caution."

ADVERTISEMENT.)—THE CAMP AT CHOBTIAM.--
39; Albemarle-street, Piccadilly.—Observe, opposite the
York Hovel. 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. Teleicopes—A now and most important
invention in telescopes, possessing such extraordinary
powers that some, 3, inches, with an extra eye-piece, will
show distinctly Jupiter's moons, 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 bioaght 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 coloar as the skin, it is not perceptible; it enables
deaf persons to hear distinctly at, church and at public as-
semblies ; the unpleasant sensatioc 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.
Observe, opposite the York Hotel.
