No snow has fallen in the course of the night, and the

eclipse of the moon.

VICISSITUDES OF THE SEASON.—It is a well
known fact, that during the few past years the changes of
tha weather, and the alterations of the season, have been
most sudden and unequal. Variations of this nature are,
of necessity, extremely trying to the constitution; and
there is no part more exposed to their effects than the skin
—that delicate and finely-formed portion of our frame ;
the sudden transitions from heat to cold, from moist to dry,
&c. being calculated, in a most ine3nvenient degree, to
produce those freckles, marks, and eruptions, which are so
hostile and injurious to beauty. The fortunate discovery
of Rowland's Kilydor, and the ample proof of its virtues
afforded by long experience, evince that it is admirably
adapted to beautify and preserve the skin fresh and unim-
paired—amid the most trying vicissitudes of the season and
the weather.
THE JAMES WATT STEADIER.—This vessel,
which aas seized by the authorities at Havre, some time
time since, and refused to be delivered up until the decision
of the case pending in the French Courts, relative to the
sinking of the French steamer Phenix, has since been re-
leased, aid arrived in the river Thames on Thursday, and
will sail again to-morrow for Havre.
The Ocean steam-vessel, Captain Fife, which
was reported as being aground at Goedereede, on the 27th
ult , floated after about half an hour's det.ntion. pr iceeded
on her voyage, and arrived in the river the following day.
It is not unusual for vessels to get aground at Goedereede
at this time cf the year, the water being so shallow.
THE LIFE AND LETTERS OF BEETHOVEN.

ii,cluding his Correspondence kith his: Friends, and Re-
marks on his Musical Works, edited by Ignace Nloscheles,

INDISTINCT VISION.—It behoves all who
value the importance of that wonderful piece of "divine mecha-
nism,"• the Eye, to adopt every means to strengthen and preserve
it, particularly when those means are within reach, and the results
front their application are both delightful and immediately felt. E.
Solomons and Co., Opticians, &c., (36, Old Band-street, and 1,
Old Jewry, Cheapsitle), have effected an improvement in Spectacles,
for which they have secured a " patent," and the strict examina-
tion of scientific observers, as well as the all-powerful test of perso-
nal experience, have established their superiorexcellence. On their
application to impaired vision their effects are boils delightful and
instantaneous, conveying at once a refreshing coolness to the
Eye, and rendering the most minute objects perfectly distinct,
either by day or candle-light ; in short, their superior powers
and freedom front the injurious properties of glasses, ordinarily sold,
have secured fur them thu powerful recommendation of j(Sir

Conductors, when placed in the Ears, cannot be seen, and enable
Deaf persons to distinguish the faintest inflections of a distant
speaker. Being in no way connected with any other houses in Lon-
don, and having occasion to guard the public against mistakes,
which a similarity of names (aided by various schemes that are re.
sorted to by empirics) have in several instances occasioned severe
disappointment to the incautious, they call particular attention to
the following address-36, Old Bond.street, and 1, Old Jewry, City.

A M. Lambert, from the environs of Paris, hav-
ing business a few mornings ago at the Halle, observed
that he was constantly followed by a little gamin, and at
last felt a slight pull at his pocket. On putting his hand
in he discovered that his snuff-box was gone. He imme-
diately went in search of the boy, whom he suspected of
being the thief, and came up with him at the gateway of a
a house in the Rue Montmartre, where a milkwoman had
ranged her pails and cans. M. Lambert collared the boy,
and accused him of the theft, which he with undaunted
countenance denied, and insisted upon being immediately
searched. This was done, but no snuff-box discovered. M.
Lambert, convinced that he had been in error, not only
made excuses to the boy, but induced him, with much ap-
parent difficulty, to accept a piece of sf, as a compensation
for the imputation which had been cast upon Lim. The
lad went away. M. Lambert remained some little time
longer, converting wi,h the milkwoman on the incident.
By this time she had nearly emptied one of her pails,
when at the bottom she raked up the lost snuff-box, which
tthheis time the vagabond had contrived to slip into it ; but by
the scamp was too. far off to be again caught.
It is stated that during the late severe frost, a
gentleman at \Vhitcombe, Gloucestershire, bad a rick of
barley attacked and plundered by a large number of rooks,
and such was the boldness of the depredators, that nearly
one-third of the contents was carried off Wore they could
be forced to relinquish the attack.
