The General Steam Navigation Company's
packet Ocean, J. Fife, Rotterdam, arrived off the Custom-
house on Sunday, with the Dutch mail.

THE WEATHER.—Some apprehensions are
felt, on account of the continuance of the rain. This is the
pinching time of the year. The country looks glorious, but
everything is growing too fast, wheat in particular. Never-
theless, we think these fears premature. No injury, but much
good, has been hitherto done by the rains.—Lublin Evening
I'ost.

The attention of our readers is directed to the
following communication, addressed to Messrs. Rowland
and Son, 20, Hatton-garden, London :—" Leicester,
April 6, 1839.—Gentle7men, About two years ago I lost
all my hair in consequence of a fever, so that I was
obliged to wear a wig, and being of an advanced age
and subject to head-aches, I felt great inconvenience
from the misfortune. In this state of things many of
my friends proposed, to me ,divers remedies, none of
which, however, had any effect, hitt at laSt I was induced
to try your Maccassar Oil, which in a short time quite
restored my locks, so that I have now a remarkably good
head of hair for one of my declining years. I am, gen-
tlemen, your most indebted and obedient servant, WIL-
LIAM SHEPHERD."

Patronized by their Majesties the King and
Queen of Hanover, and their Royal Highnesses the Princesses
Augusta and Sophia, her Serene Highness the Princess Esterhazy,
the Princesses Mary and Rosa, her Grace the Dowager Duchess of
Bedford, and their Graces the Archbishop of Canterbury, the Dukes
of Norfolk, Devonshire, and Manchester, Lord Hill, &c. In addition
to the above distinguished patronage to the newly-invented Spectacle
Lenses and Invisible Operative Voice Conductor, the Messrs. S.
and B. Solomons, opticians and aurists, 39, Albemarle street, Pic-
cadilly, and 76, King William-street, Bank of England, feel great
pleasure to state that their valuable inventions have also gained the
sanction and unqualified approbation of above four hundred of the
principal members of the medical profession as alto of numerous
individuals of high distinction, who have been greatly benefited by
their use. Immediately these improved Spectacle Lenses are
placed before extreinz imperfect vision, it is at once brougnt hack to
its natural and original state, every object becomes clear and dis.
tinct, and the most minute particle is seen, either by day or candle-
light, with ease and distinctness. Their Voice Conductor, by
which thousands of deaf persons have been greatly benefited, is not
the least perceptible, not snore uncomfortable, than having a pielce
of wool in its place, and the faintest whisper at a public a-sembty
is heard with exact distinctness.-39, Albemarle-street, opposite
the York Hotel, and 76. King William-street, Bank.—No con.
nexion with persons of the same name.

The Voice Conductors, invented by E. Soiotnons
and Co., No. na, Old Bond-street, and I,old Jewry, have proved emi-
nently efficacious in severe cases of deafness. They are not as large
as r. fourpennt.piece, and, notwithstanding their small construction,
nn insttuments extant have proved of such advantage to the
deaf. Frost their metallic vibrating quality, table-talk is rendered
perfectly audible, and the wearer is enabled to distinguish the
faintest inflections of a distant speaker in church, theatre, or pub-
lic assembly. E. Solomons and Co.'s Patent Spectacles are far
superior to all those in modern use ; they extend immediate and
continued relief in all cases of defective vision, enabling persons
to engage their sight for any length of time, at the most minute
employment, either by day or candle-light, and arc thus calculated
to preserve vision unimpaired to extreme old age. No other im.
provement has been effected in spectacle lenses for the last 20
years, and as E. Solomons and Co, have secured the exclusive
tiis.posal of them to their establishments by " Royal Letters Pa-
tent,' the public Oiould be guarded against the various attempts
of parties of a similar name to counterfeit the above invaluable Cs.
sistants ; it is therefore necessary that particular attention should
be paid to their address, namely, 1, Old Jewry, City, and 313. Old
