MOURNING ON THE DEMISE
THE SOVEREIGNS OF ENGLAND•

Or

It used to be the custom, on the death of the Sove-
reign, for the successor to the Crown, in Council, to
direct a supply of black cloth to he delivered from
i
Miiesty's wardrobe to the City authorities for ourn-
ing, in which they attended the funeral. The last la'
stance of the kind appears, from the old papers in the
Towu-clerk's muniment-room, to have been upon the
demise of Queen Anne.
The following curious memorandum was mad° with
reference to this grant, at the death of Oliver Cromwell;
" Memorandum,—That at the (loath of Oliver, Lord
Protector, there was given by his Hi fines Coo°
for Mourning, the several quantityes of black( cloth
after mentioned. That is to say,
" For the Lord Maior and Lord Maior.elect, 9 yard°

The Voice Conductors invented by Mr*

some of the most distressing cases of deafness. TheYi!la
not as large as a fourpenny-piece, and notwitbstan,'ll;
their very small construction, no instruments extant lie
proved of such advantage to the deaf. From their rnelaqe,
vibrating quality, table talk is rcnuered• perfectly atin,,'"
and the wearer is enabled to distinguish the faintest io:selia
tions of a distant speaker in church, theatre, or P"far
assembly. Mr. E. Solomons' Patent Spectacles are 'a.,
superior to all those in modern use ; they extend ilna'!„01
ate and continued relief in all cases of defective vitae(
enabling persons to engage their sight for any lengt"
or
time, at the most minute employment, either by da!;00
cndle-light, and are thus calculated to preserve v'sa-at
unimpaired to extreme old age. No other imeNvetil„uty
has been effected in spectacle lenses for the last 01 1
years, and as Mr. S. has secured the exclusive disP°:ant°,"
