There is scarcely an invention of striking merit,
ingenuity, and skill, that does not rouse the cupidity of ig-
norant pretenders, who unblushingly come forth with their
spurious imitations ; this applies to those valuable inven•
tiona of the Messrs. S, and B. Solomons, 39, Albemarle-
street, Piccadilly, and 76, King William-street, Bank of
England, the newly-invented Invisible Operative Voice
Conductors, which have relieved thousands of individuals
afflicted with extreme deafness ; and the improved Specta-
cle Lenses for defcetive vision, the transparent brilliancy
and superior excellence of which over all other Spectacles
have gained the patronage of the Royal Fam.ly, and the
unqualified approbation of above four hundred of the prin-
cipal members of the medical profession, they having be-
come in so much repute and celebrity, that numerous indi-
viduals, assume the name of Solomons ; this does apply
only to London and various parts of the country, but to
Ireland, Scotland, and on the Continent, all have en.
deavoured to imitate the Messrs. Solomons's new inven-
tions; but the materials being a secret to themselves, and
the various mode of their application to the ear and eye
not being known to them, their spurious imitations have
therefore been found to be useless. The Messrs. Solo-
mons have no connection whatever with persons of the
same name ; their valuable inventions are solely confined
to their establishments, 39, Albemarle-street, and 76, King
William-street, Bank.
A MAN BEATEN TO DEATH.—On Thursday
last, Mr. Whitmarsh, one of the Coroners of this County,
held an inquest at Hannington, on the body of a labourer
named Thomas Draper. Deceased, it appeared, had chal-
lenged a fellow-labourer, named Skinner, to fight ; and
the challenge being accepted, 'hey met is a field in the
parish on the evening of the '3lst of August, and fought,
in the presence of a large concourse of persons, for nearly
two hours! To use the language of one of the witnesses,
deceased " was pretty well blind a long time before the last
round." no was also so beaten and bruised, that he could
scarcely stand I Yet iu this state—scarcely able to stand
or to see—he was again and again preseutedoo be knocked
down. At length, Skinner tripped him up, and fell upon
him. Unable to rise, he was carried to his second's knee,
again to be encouraged to continue the combat. " Time
was called ;" but it was all over 1 he was beyond his se-
cond's care—he fell senseless to the ground, and was in a
moment a corpse 1 The depositions of persons present at
the fight having been given, the Coroner summed up, and
the Jury returned a verdict of " Manslaughter" against
Skinner and the two seconds ; upon which the Coroner
immediately issued his warrant for their committal to Marl-
borough Bridewell. A certificate was, however, put in
from the surgeon, stating that Skinner was so unwell, that
he could not, without great danger, be removed from his
bed.
RTE.—OUT humble congratulations are due to
the few remaining members of that miserably dwindling
body, the Conservative Association, for something like an
approximation to honourable feeling manifested by their
employe. Of the few Tories who joined the Conservative
Association, weekly defections from their ranks prove that
they do not intend to be drawn through th• mire by the
weakest section, the " Farncomb Tories." They would
fain be dubbed " Liberals." Ladies of easy virtue delight
in the less ugly name of " women of plea‘ure ;" but the
right .judging plain-speaking mobility, in defiance of their
delicate prejudices, still call them by their correct appella.
