R. E. SOLOMONS, OPTICIAN to the
Royal Eye Infirmary, patentee of tke Amber Spectacles,
&e., 38, OLD BOND-STREET (nearly opposite the western
Exchange), whose recently invented and highly approved SPEC-
TACLES may be adapted to .the various circumstances of indivi-
dual cases appertaining to defective vision. Whilst these Specta-
cles excel all others, as regards their very superior refractive pro-
perty , and their comparative lightness, they possess the further ad-
vantage of modifying bright and strong light, which, at the same
time, is transmitted through the various humours of the eye, so as
render vision most perfectly distinct, conveying also a sense of cool-
ness and pleasure to the organ, with the additional equally impor-
tant recommendation of being FREE from the pernicious attributes
of common glasses ; in short, the qualities of Mr. Solomon's Spec-
tacles admirably adapt them to afford ease and comfort, by protect-
ing and strengthening the eyes, and to extend to vision the most
decided and instantaneous relief that art can accomplish. Their
superior efficacy is attested by the following eminent professors, who
(among many others) have given them their unqualified approba-
tion :

THE NOTTING HILL FOOTWAY BILL.

Preamble recites that the lands in question are advantageously
situated and adapted for the purpose of horse and other exercises,
conducive to the health and recreation of the public, and that
they have been, at great expence, drained and enclosed for the
purposes aforesaid ; that the lands are intersected by a footway
over which the public claim a right of passing, to the great
detriment of the lauds, and the interruption of the objects
above referred to; and that the footway might be diverted in
such a manner as to answer all the present conveniences there-
of, and at the same time so as to avoid the detriment to the
lands, and interruption to the said objects.
The object of the Bill is to enable the lessee of certain lands,
called the Notting Hill Farm, iit the parish of Kensington, in
the county of Middlesex, to cause a footway, intersecting those
lands, to be diverted.
The Act is to be put in execution by three Justices of the
Peace for the county, or such one or more of them as shall act.

The Justices are to view the premises, and, if it shall appear
to them that the footway may be diverted, E 0 as to afford means
of access to the places to which the same now leads, " equally
convenient, or as nearly so as the wants of the public may seem
to require," and at the same time avoid the present incon-
venience, then the Justices are to order the footway "to be
diverted or altered, in such a manner, and within such period
as to them shall seem desirable."

No diversion is to be made through other lands, without the
previous consent, in writing, of the owner.

An appeal is given to the Quarter Session from any deter-
mination of the justices. The appellants to give to the Jus-
tices notice of such appeal, " within fourteen days after such
cause of complaint shall have arisen," and within four days
after such notice, to enter into a recognizance in the sum of
one hundred pounds, with two sufficient Securities.
There is a penalty not exceeding ten pounds, for obstructing
persons employed in making the diversion, or for injuring or
removing fences; to b 3 recovered before any justice, and
levied by distress.

All expenses incident to the Act are to be borne by the
lessee of the farm.
GRAVESEND PIER BILL.

- - - ---•
The object of this Bill is to enforce the uniform collection
of tolls and rates, granted to the corporation of Gravesend and
Milton, by an Act 9 Geo. 4th, c. 56, and an Act 4 William 4th,
c. 101, for the erection and support of the Gravesend quay
and pier.

By the first-mentioned Act the corporation were empowered
to take a toll not exceeding Id. from every passenger cm.
barking or landing at any place within the villages and
parishes of Gravesend and Milton, and also to take for goods
and merchandize landed at the quay the rates or tolls men-
tioned in the second schedule to the Act.

By the same Act they were empowered to take Id. a day,
or Is. a month, from persons using the portion of the quay set
apart as a promenade, during the months of May, June, July,
August, September, and October.
By the second mentioned Act the corporation were env
powered to take a toll, not exceeding 4d. for every passenger
embarking or landing at the pier (by that Act authorized to
be made), and also to take for goods and merchandize landed
at the pier, or at the Quay, the rates and tolls, mentioned in
the Schedule to the Act, in lieu of those mentioned in the
second schedule to the former Act ; and they were empowered
to take 2d. per day, or 2s. per month, from persons using the
promenade, without distinction as to seasons.
The tolls collected under the two Acts (after defraying the
expenses of the Acts), are to be applied, first, in paying in-
terest on monies borrowed under the Acts ; next, in paying
expenses of erecting and maintaining the Pier and other
works ; then the surplus, after deducting sixty pounds an-
nually, being the amount of toll collected before the passing
of the first Act, is to be applied as follows :—One-fourth to
o to make and keep up a sinking fund of 4,000/. Three per
Gfr'ent. Consols, to be applied for maintaining the works ; and
the remaining three-fourths (and subject to keeping up the
sinking fund the while), in paying off the principal monies
borrowed on the tolls.
When the whole debt is discharged, the tolls under both
Acts are to cease, except the tolls for the use of the prome-
nade, and the rates for goods and merchandise.
The Bill enacts, that the provisions of this Act shall apply
to the recited Acts ; and further enacts, that the several tolls
and rates, by the recited Acts specified or mentioned, " shall
at all times be charged, collected, or received," and that, " if
at any time a smaller sum shall be charged, collected, or re-
ceived," for any such toll or rate than the maximum autho-
rised by the Acts, " an amount in proportion to such smaller
sum only shall be charged, collected, or received, for each
and every other" such toll and rate.
Note.—The effect of this Clause (without some modifica-
tion) may be to render it imperative to levy the full amount of
tolls authorised by the former Acts.
There is a proviso, that the Act is not to affect any existing
proceeding or claim.
LONDON AND GREENWICH RAILWAY.

The object of this Bill is to extend the time allowed by the
3d and 4th Will. IV. for completing the London and Green-
wich Railway.
The time allowed by that Act expires on the 17th of May,
1838.
The present Bill extends that time for one year, from the
expiration of the former period, and continues all the powers
of the former Act.

render the streets very incommodious ; and that, for
a long series of years certain harbour dues have been received
by the Corporation, but which have proved insufficient for the
repair and maintenance of the harbour, which is capable be-
in, made very commodious.f

improvement and better regulation of the town and public
walks of Tenby.
2d. To provide for the better regulation of the harbour of

For this purpose, the Bill authorizes the Town Council of
the Borough, to purchase (compulsorily), the lands mentioned
in the first schedule of the Act, and it gives them an unlimited
power to purchase from parties willing to sell.
It authorises the Town Council to remove, at the expense
of the Corporation, all existing obstructions to the footway or
pavement, and to require the temoval of all future obstruc-
tions at the expence of the owner of the buildings.
It authorizes the Town Council to require the owners of
houses, to cause water-troughs to be affixed to their houses,
and to cause all doors and gates to be made to open inwards.
It authorizes the Town Council, upon complaint made to
them, to direct the removal of pigsties, and other things which
they may deem a public nuisance or annoyance, from within
the Borough.
It authorizes the Town-council to make rules, or bye-laws,
for the regulation of hired carriage-keepers, porters, carriers,
and the like ; and imposes penalties upon persons exercising
those occupations without license, contrary to the rules that
shall be made.
Note.—There is no provision for the publication of these
rules.
The Bill directly imposes regulations upon the inhabitants
with regard to the following matters, viz.:—
The emptying of privies.
The sweeping of the streets.
The making of enclosures, during the repair of houses,
and occasional openings in the streets.
The order to be observed by carriages in passing through
two narrow streets, called High-street and Market-street.
