Betting yesterday afternoon was extremely flat, and it
would have been altogether destitute of interest but for an
advance of Mr. llostyn's Prince Caradoc, who was in
great force with three cr four parties ; 25 to 1 was taken
eagerly, and there can be no doubt that the backer would
have willingly increased his stake at a lower quotation; an
improvement in Sir Hans to the extent of three points,
and a decline in •the Duke of Wellington, are the only
others worth pointing out. Closing odds :

FRANCESCO, THE STUDENT; OR, THE
SIEGE OF FLORENCE--It has not been sufficiently re-
marked by the critics on this highly-interesting historical
fiction, that it derives a large portion of its value from the
happy and effective manner in which it introduces the
reader to some of the greatest intellectual spirits of the
age to which it relates. The vivid pictures it places before
us of Machiavelli (to whom the hero is private secretary);
Guicciardini (the great Italian historian) ; and, above all,
of Michael Angelo- Buonarotti, who takes an active part
in the domestic incidents of the story—give a higher and
more intense interest to the book than that which it de-
rives from the stirs ng and extraordinary historical scenes
which it describes with such a picturesque and realising pen.

jesty the Queen of Hanover, the Duchess of Richmond,
Duke of Newcastle, Duke of Leeds, the late Duke of
Buckingham, the Marquis of Wellesley, &C. ; Sir J. E.
Anderson, M.D., 11, New Burlington-street ; Sir Benja-

Hospital; Martin Ware, New Bridge-street; J G. An.
drews, Senior Surgeon to the London Hospital. The
above and numerous other Medical Practitioners of pre-
eminent standing, have given the most flattering certifi-
cates to the superior value and importance of E. Solo-
mon and Co.'s Patent Spectacles, testifying to their pecu-
liar power of softening the light to weak and irritable
eyes, and the immediate and continued relief that its chas-
tened transmission affords their freedom from the perni-
cious attributes of ordinary glasses ; in short, to a combi-
nation of properties which render them superlatively pre-
eminent in preserving the powers of vision unimpaired to
extreme old age: Their Voice Conductors extend the
most effectual relief in cases of Deafness, and additional
satisfaction is derived from the fact that they arc worn en-
tirely unseen,
