POOLOO'S CHINESE CEMENT.—The
extraordinary properties of this Composition make it one
of the most useful articles ever presented to the public. It is
Perfectly impervious to hot or cold water, and will resist the
effects of the most intense heat. So tenacious and firm is 'it
in its hold, that a new fracture is almost certain to take place
rather than a severance in the original. Thus its utility sur-
Passes all other cements for the fixing and mending of china,
Riau, and ivory, the setting of stones and beads in rings and
trinkets, &c.
sold wholesale and retail, in bottles, at Is. 64., 2s. 6d.,
4s. 6d., and 7s. 6d., by the Proprietor's sole Agents, Blofeld,
and Co., Cutlers and Razor-makers, 6, Middle-row, Holb3rn ;
and, by their appointment, at the principal Chemists and
'Perfumers.

GRAY'S. INN WINE ESTABLISH-
MENT, No. 23, HIGH HOLBORN, LONDON.
After ten years' experience, the Proprietors of the Gray's
lon Wine Establishment have the satisfaction of knowing that
the liberalized spirit of enterprise with which they commenced
business has accomplished the elsject they hoped to obtain—the
'aurteally increasing confidence and patronage of the public.
It seen that, while enlightened principles and improved
ii-Yi 'his of business were being extended to almostevery branch
e"suierce, the WINE and SPIRIT TRADE partook of
little of those advantag,es—the consumers in many instances
der g supplied from small dealers, whe frequently, from acci-
dental or necessitous circumstances, were thrown into the wine
trade without the slightest claim to a knowledge of its princi-
Pies,
possessing little or no capital, generally the moat incom-
vetent
Judges of the articles they profess to understand; and,
from all these causes, perfectly unable to protect the interests
and health of their customers. Thus a wide field was open for
well -directed capital and exertion.
Thc Proprietors associated themselves with a gentleman edu-
cated from his south upwards into a full knowledge and ac-
quaintanco with every department of their business, embarked
a large capital, opened direct communications, and ultimately
established intimate relations with the wine growers and ship-
ra of all conntries, thereby placing themselves ix the most
favourable position to take advantage of both the Home and
Foreign Markets. They have always sold at a axed and mode-
rate profit, which, together with their increasing desire to gra-
tify both the tastes and wishes of their friends, has enabled
them to saeceed in raising their Establishment to its present
,eminence.
The Bonded, as well as the Duty-paid Stock, embraces every
vaviety of Wine, fromthe most economical up to the highest
poss ible quality,
lectio nef Pi Gentlemen who prefer it can make their se-
pes, Ilogheor Quarter-Casks, in the Decks.
In the Duty-paid :stock atthe're are always from Forty to Fifty
of Wine on Dranght, of which any quantities may be
"ad. Tls,e Bottled Stock contains from Five to Six Thousand
Dozen of Pert Wine of the best Vintages, from two to ten
years bettie; the whole at the lowest prices consistent with
the
quality offered.
.;„The most various and most curious of the Sherries shipped
~fFeFlay of Cadiz are to b in their possession, and
r a rich treat te the Connoisseur tin really Pure and Virgin
Vise.
•
. The Proprietors, in returning their best thanks to the Public
!Gr. the censtantly-increasieg encouragement their exertions
have met with, beg to add, that their Business will continue,
'Ls it has continued since the Ist January, 1834, under the di-
rection of Mr. Kislingbury, the Managing Partner; and their
Rtatitiede will stimulate them still further, if possible, to de-
serve its entire confidence.

SIGHT AND HEARING.
39, ALBEMARLE-STREET, PICCADILLY,
(Opposite the York Hotel), and
76, KING WILLIANI-STREET, BANK OF ENGLAND.
THE INVISIBLE OPERATIVE VOICE
CONDUCTOR, effected by the Messrs. S. and B.
SOLOMON 5, OPTICIANS and AURISTSto the ROYAL
FAMILY, 39, ALBEMARLE-STREET. PICCADILLY,
by which thousands of deaf persons have Leen greatly bene-
fited, is the size of a seven-shilling piece, and when fixed into
the cavity of the ear is soft and easy, and not reeve perceptible
than having a piece of wool in its place, by which the faintest
whisper at a public assembly is heard with distinctness. And
defective VISION is brought to nature by too use of newly-
invented SPECTACLE LENSES; immediately they are
placed before weak anti imperfect eye-sight, either by day or
candle light, every object becomes clear and distinct, and the
most minute particle is seen with great distinctness ; by the use
of which both the sight and hearing become much improved.
The Messrs. S. and B. SOLOMONS disclaim all con-
nexion with persons of the same name, and the sale of am-
ber spectacles ; the pernicious use of amber spectacles
being now well kn.iwn to the public, and the vendor being
aware of it, he his therefore altered their name, by leaving out
the worst " Amber," and calling them Patent. Spectacles."
Those which he terms " Patent Spectacles" are no other than
those of amber ; the history and destructive use of that mate-
rial for Spectacles to imperfect vision is fully and most satis-
factorily explained by the undermentioned scientihc authority:
From the " Diotionary of Arts and Sciences" of Andrew Ure,

M. b., F. R. S., &c., &c.
" Amber is an indurated vegetable juice, and not produced
by the laws of crystallisation, but by the same causes which
influence the mechanical condition of gum. Insects are often
found embedded in it. Amber is most powerfully electrical
by friction—very hot, to such an extent as to explode into frag-
ments ; the workmen, too, are subject to nervous tremors in
their wrists, arms, &c. ; they encounter great danger by handling
such dreadful excited electrics ; amber grows with lime, and is
apt to take fire, and is of such a soft nature when exposed t•
warmth, that it swells, bubbles up, and will burn away with
flame."

The above Dr. Ure's statements are further confirmed by Sir
D. Brewster and Pliny, as also by Parks and Hems, on Che-
mistry. Tho destructive effects of such a material for specta-
cles, to imperfect vizion, may be ascertained at any respectable
Optician's to London.
The Messrs. Solomons' newly invented Spectacle Lenses are
not constructed of such a material ; but which are very supe-
rior, and bring back at once dimness of sight and imperfect
vision to its original and natural state. These Spectacles, and
very small Voice Conductors for deaf persons, are r.ly to be
had at their establishments, 39, Albemarle-street (opposite the
York Hotel), and 76, King William-street, Bank.

RAISING OF THE BLOCKADE OF THE
COAST OF SYRIA.
The following copy of e letter, addressed by her Bri-
tannic Majesty's Consul-General at Constantinople to the
British merchants resident there, has been transmitted to
Lloyd's by their agents at that lace:—
" Constanp
tinople, Dec. 7, IMO.
" Gentlemen,—I have been requested by his Excellency
the Ambassador to inform you, that he has received from
his Excellency the Ottoman Minister for Foreign Affairs
ve official notification, stating that, in consequence of the
definitive occupation of the Coast of Syria by the troops of
his Imperial Majesty the Sultan, the Sublime Porte has
ordered the blockade of the forts and eaeliellcs of that coast
to be raised.
" I have the honour to be. Gentlemen,
" Your obedient servant,
(Signe4l) JOHN CARTWRIGHT,
" To the British Merchants. " Consul General.'

Corton Beach, near Lowestoffe, containing p,pers with
the signature of Captain Hewitt on them, which no doubt
