DEATH or A RELIC OF BURNS.—Another link in the
chain that connected the Ayrshire hard with the present
generation has just been snapped—William Ronald farmer, aged 83 years, died at his residence, Maulside:
near Beith
to, on
havin the 29th ult. He was the person recently
rd as g been, early in life, a ploughboy in
the employment of Robert Burns.
[Anvsavismism.] Her Majesty's Royal Letters Patent for
valuable and extraordinary improvements in the most power-
ful and brilliant Telescopes, Camp,_ Race-course, Opera, and
Perspective Glasses(glazed with Muni° German Glass) to, know
the distances of objects viewed through them—of great im-
portance to the army, navy, and others. Messrs. S. and B.
Solomons, opticians, 39, Albemarle-street, Piccadilly. Ob-
serve—opposite the York Hotel.— These telescopes possess
such extraordinary powers that some 3 inches, with an ex-
tra eye-piece, will show distinctly Jupiter's moons, Saturn's
ring, and the double stars ; with the same telescope can be
seen a person's countenance three miles and a half distant,
and an object from 12 to 14 miles. They are of larger and all
sizes, with increasing powers accordingly.—The Royal Ex-
hibition, 1851.—Valuable, newly-invented, very small,
powerful waistcoat-pocket glass, the size of a walnut, by which
a person can be seen and known 1 miles distant ; they answer
every purpose on the race-course, and at the opera houses,
country scenery, and ships aro clearly seen at 8 to 10 miles.
They are invaluable for shooting, deer-stalking, yachting, to
sportsmen, gentlemen, gamekeepers, and tourists. Opera,
race-course, camp, and perspective glasses, with wonderful
power ; an objet z, can be clearly seen from 10 to 12 miles
distant. Spectacle Lenses of the greatest transparent power.
The valuable advantage derived from this invention is, that
vision becoming impaired is preserved and strengthened, and
I very aged persons are enabled to employ their sight at the most
minute occupation—can see with these lenses of a much less mag-
nifying power—and they do not require the frequent changes
to the dangerous effects of further powerful assistance. Deaf-
ness—New Discovery.—The Organic Vibrator, an extraordi-
nary powerful, small, 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 skin, is not perceptible ; it
enables deaf persons to hear distinctly at church and at
public assemblies ; the unpleasant sensation of singing noises
in the ears is entirely removed ; and it affords all the assist-
ance that possibly could bo desired,-39, Albemarle-street,
Piccadilly. Observe—opposite the York Hotel. •

WOOLLEN TRADE.

(From the Leeds Mercury of Saturday.)

LEEDS, Aug. 4.—The woollen market continues with-
out any alteration ; a steady business continues to be
done in the cloth-halls, and considerable deliveries are
made regularly direct from the merchants' warehouses,
which together constitute a good trade in balk cloths,
and which has for a long time past been doing, with
very little variation. A steady average business was
done on Saturday, as well as on Tuesday, in the cloth-
halls. Prices are firm ; as a consequence of the ad-
vance which has ruled in the price of wool at the pre-
sent sales inJ..ondon. Stocks are regularly diminishing.
The trade in the warehouses has been rather still this
week for the home market, but the shipping houses are
yet doing a good business. _

HUDDERSFIELD, Aug. I.—The market to-day i❑ the
Cloth-hall was not so good as on the previous week—
said to be rather quiet. There is, however, no general
complaint as to the trade in other respects. The ware-
houses are the chief outlet. Prices in wool much the
same as for some time back.

HALIFAX, July 29.—The only variations we can note
in this market since our last report, is a little farther
advance in price of wool. Supplies from the growing
districts are arriving more freely.

RAILWAY IN PORTUGAL. The project for a railway to
Cintra, along the banks of the Tagus, has been submit-
ted to the Cortes by the Minister of Public Works. It
is estimated that it will cost 800,0001., and the projec•
ton calculate chiefly upon the dock and other buildings
on the water-side from the Quay do Sodre to Belem to
obtain the interest of the capital.
