" It has been reserved for Mr. Usborne to produce, not only
the best and only vade mecum deserving of the name, to the
Levant, to Greece, to Egypt, Palestine, Syria, and Asia Minor,
but one of the very best, most carefully, and most intelligently
written guide-books that have ever fallen under our notice. --In
a word, the book appears to us to be as a guide invaluable ; a
.due attention to its suggestions will save travellers twenty times
its cost."—United' Service Gazette, Oct. 17.
" The work seems to us the exact model of what a guide-
book ought to be. It would he almost impossible for any de-
scription to give an adequate idea of the variety and extent of
the useful knowledge' it contains."—Britannia, Oct. 10.
" This useful and intelligent manual is the result of the
author's personal observation and experience during a recent
tour in the Levant."—Spectator, Oct. 10.

sea, to whom orders may be addressed by post.

XN the discharge of a public duty, Mr. EDWARD
FARRELL has been induced briefly to notice the mali-
cious efforts that have incessantly been made to injure him, and
the base and cowardly persecution to which for a considerable
time he has been subjected; this, and innumerable other in-
stances that could be named, proves to demonstration that anti-
Christian principles predominate, and that although many as-
sume the appellation of Christian, the number is comparatively
few of those who have a just claim to it. We have Divine
authority for saying that none are members of Christ's flack,
who do not practise universal fraternal love ; it excites the as-
tonishment of those who maturely reflect on passing occur-
rences, to observe the desire that is manifested to cause dis-
content ; as we are all well aware that, in the order of nature,
cause must produce effect, and, consequently, when wrong is
committed complaint must necessarily follow, and when redress
cannot be obtained in the ordinary way, means must be had
recourse to which necessity renders expedient. It i 3 much to
be derlored that the golden rule, of doing unto others as we
would be done by, is so little regarded, as it would be produc-
tive of the most beneficial effects in society, if complied with.
A most atrocious outrage was recently committed iq a lodging-
house here, which for malignity could not be exceeded, and the
impression which it has made on the mind can never be effaced.
As the report of spoliation of property still continues, it is
proper to observe that all such acts are racrilegious robberies,
as all that is belongs to the Divine Creator, we are only
stewards over what has been committed to our care, and will
have to render a strict account of the use which we make of it;
and as the Lord has said that whatever is done to his creatures,
whom he has designed for an eternal union with himself, is
done to him, we must, it we wish to possess his friendship, act
in the most kindly manner by all, and promote their happin, ss
to the utmost extent of our power.

MR. GLEIG'S " CHELSEA PENSIONERS,"
We are requested to state that the new volume of " Col-
burn's Modern Standard Novelists," comprising " The
Chelsea Pensioners," by the author of " Tile Subaltern,"
complete for 65., with portrait of the author and vignette,
is published this day by Mr. Colburn, of Great Marl-
borough-street, and may be had of all booksellers. Mr.
Colburn has also just published the new volume of Sir Ed-
ward Lytton Bulwer's works for November, containing
" Pelham, or the Adventures of a Gentleman," illustrated
uniformly with the preceding volumes.
Patronized by their Majesties the King and
Queen of Hanover, and their Royal Highnesses the Princesses
Augusta and Sophia, her Serene Highness the Princess Ester-
hazy, the Princesses Mary and Rosa, her Grace the Dowager
Duchess of Bedford, and their Graces the Archbishop of Can-
terbury, and the Dukes of Devonshire and Manchester. In
addition to the above distinguished patronage to the newly.
invented Spectacle Lenses and Invisible Operative Voice Con-
ductor, the Messrs. S. and B. Solomons, Opticians and
Aurists, No. 39, Albemarle-street, Piccadilly, and No. 76,
King William street, Bank of England, feel great pleasure
in stating that their valuable inventions have also gained
the sanction and unqualified approbation of above four hun-
dred of the principal members of the medical profession ; as
also of numerous individuals of high distinction, who have
been greatly benefited by their use. Immediately these im-
proved Spectacle Lenses are placed before extreme imperfect
vision, it is at once brought back to its natural and original
state, every object becomes clear and distinct, and the most mi-
nute particle is seen, either by day or candlelight, with ease
and distinctness. Their Voice Conductor, by which thousands
of deaf persons have been greatly benefited, are not the least
perceptible, nor more uncomfortable, than having a piece of
wool in its plate, and the faintest whisper at a public assembly
is heard with exact distinctness.-39, Albemarle-street, (op..
posite the York Hotel), and 76, King William-street, Bank.
