PRINCE ALBERT'S RIFLE.—His Royal High-
ness Prince Albert was pleased to honour Mr. Thomas
Kennedy with an audience in the presence of Viscount
Melbourne and one or two others, at Windsor Castle,
on Monday last. Mr. Kennedy is a rifle-maker in
Kilmarnock, in the county of Ayr, and his Royal
Highness, having heard of his celebrity, ordered a goo
to be made by him upon head,
most improved principle, re-
questing that he should deliver itin person, so that his
Royal Highness might have the entire nature of its ma'nufacture explained by Mr. Kennedy' himself. Mr. Kew
nedy having been introduced by the Linn. Mr. Anson,
was received by his Royal Highness in the most unaf-
fected and courteous manner. His Royal Highness es-
amined the instrument with every possible minuteness,
seemed to be highly interested in Mr. Kennedy's peel'
liar variation in the turn of it, and after a lengthened
terview, and having obtained every information respect'
ing it, condescended not only to express his unqualifle"
approbation of the rifle, but to grant to the manufacture'
his Royal warrant, appointing him his rifle-maker in
Kilmarnock.
A very splendid carved table, with a model
built from the timber belonging to various parts of lb.
Royal George, were this week forwarded to her MO/
jesty at Windsor Castle, by Messrs. E. and E. Emanuel,.
of Portsmouth, and which her Majesty was most grV
ciously pleased to signify her pleasure in accepting.
EXCURSIONS IN NORMANDY, EDITED BY F•
SHOBERL, ESQ.—The publication of this work is mod
opportune for our tourists, and a better guide to this iir
teresting French province can hardly be required. Thy .
New Monthly Magazine observes, " It is a book
travels possessed of high pretensions as well as perms"
nent interest. The author enters into an elaborate or
amination of everything of importance relating to the
commerce, agriculture, and manufactures of Normancli,
making the sterling information conveyed by his pss
the more entertaining by dilating on whatever is mO
picturesque in its antiquities, its legends, and its scenerl;
in short, comprehending within his scope all that the
reader can require to know of the country and its inhv,
bitants. After an introduction full of pleasant historical
reminiscences our traveller commences his labours 11
Havre. Harfleur, Honfleur, and Pollet detains bins 11
short time previously to his producing his equally
amusing illustrations of Dieppe, Argues, Vareujeville,
Eu, St. Valerie, Fecatnp, Yport, Etretat, and Cacti-
Bayeux, Falaise, Vire, Quillevocuf, Caudebec, and Jil"
mieges then lead him to Rouen, where he ends his work,
letting nothing escape him of the almost exhaustless re'
sources of entertainment which exist in that city and its
neighbourhood."
From the late Henry Cowper, Esq., of Tevveo
Waters, Herts., to Messrs. S. and B. Solomons, 39, Albemarle'
street, Piccadilly, opposite the York Hotel, and 76, King Willie*"
street, Bank of England.—" Gentlemen, having been deaf Or
many years, I was induced from recommendation to try your Wit.
ble Voice Conductors, and I have great pleasure in telling you tie'
they enable me to hear persons in company and at a place of woe
ship most distinctly; and in consequence of the great adrantao
which I have derived, I have recommended many persons to yOll5
and their report is similar to mine—most favourable. The SAG'
tacles and Hand glass which you have sent me are very exeeneat,

June 22, 18392' From T. J. Pettigrew, Esq., Surgeon, En
to Messrs. 8. and B. Solomons, 39, Albernarle.street,
opposite the York Hotel, and 76, King William-street, Bank '"
England.—" Gentlemen,—l have no hesitation in replying to
your inquiry as to the results obtained by the use of I'l
improved spectacles; being in the constant habit of reading en*"
writing for many hours together by lamp-light, it is but justice 0
say, that your newly-invented spectacle lenses have aforded at
the greatest comfort. When I employed the ordinary pebbled,
never failed to experience in the morning a great irritation in th'T
eyes. Since I have used your admirable glasses I suffer from 0_:
inconvenience of the kind. I shall ever feel grateful to my 61'7
friend, Dr. Blundell, for having drawn my attention to the subjeew
—Believe me to be your's, very respectfully, I'. J. PerruntaY4
