~IGFIT AND HEARING TESTI-
MONIALS on the Messrs. S. and B. SOLOMONS'
newly-inverted SPECTACLE LENSES and INVISIBLE
OPERATIVE VOICE CONDUCTOR for Deaf Persons.
" We, the undersigned, have been fur some time making
use of Messrs. Solomons' newly-invented Spectacle Lenses;
the astonishing relief they afford to imperfect vision gives
them the decided preference to every other kind of Lens
?—the clearness of the transparency brings every object very
distinct, and enables individuals io view
the most minute par-
ticle with perfect accuracy. They are particularly pleasant
by candle light, as they appear cooling to the sight, and soften
bright and brilliant lights :

In placing the above list of Testimonials before the public,
the Messrs. Solomons, Opticians and Aurists, state that their
INVISIBLE OPERATIVE VOICE CONDUCTOR, by
which thousands of Deaf Persons have been greatly benefited,
is not larger than a seven-shilling- piece, and when fixed into
the cavity of the ear is soft and easy, and not more uncomfort-
able nor perceptible than having a piece of wool in its place.
By its use the faintest whisper at a public assembly is heard
I wit's distinctness.
These important new inventions are patronized by their Ma-
jesties the King and Queen of Hanover and their Royal High-
nesses the Princesses Augusta and Sophia, her Serene High-
ness the Princess Esterhazy, the Princesses Mary and Rosa,
her Grace the Duchess Dowager of Bedford, and their Graces
the Archbishop of Canterbury, the Dukes of Devonshire and
Manchester, &c. &c.

Germain. and remained there for some hours examining
in detail all its arrangements. The Messager gives the
following account of this establishment. It says the fol-
lowing objects are aimed at, viz., the amelioration of the
morals of the prisoners, and the covering of all the ex-
penses of their keep, &c., by their labour. The sys-
tem adopted in this Penitentiary is silent, but not soli-
taryalabour,s a
correction
discipline,
n duringd
imprisonment night, and
adlas;c cells in extraordinary cases. The establishment
has now existed ten years on this footing, and is said
to have answered all the hopes which were entertained ;
the morals of the prisoners are improved, their labour
corers all the expenses of the prison, and when the term
of imprisonment is expired, they leave with habits of
industry, and have acquired a knowledge of some handi-
craft, by which they can earn a subsistence. The Mar-
shal went through every part of the building, examined
the food, assisted at some of the lessons, saw the different
processes- of labour, &c., and gave orders for the opening
of new workshops, dining-rooms, &c. He was much
struck with the healthy state of the prison, there being
only 14 sick out of -500 prisoners, and of these 14 six
were ill when they arrived, and.on his return to Paris he
addreased tO Lieutenant-General Count Pajol, the com-
mandant of the first military division, who had accompanied
him on his visit, a letter, in which he expresses his high

gratification at what he had. witnessed, and particularly
at the pains taken by the prisoners to show by their con-
duct that they were becoming worthy to return to the
ranks of the army. In this letter he desires that they
may be told of his satisfaction, and assured that if they
persevere in the way of amelioration, he will not fail
to recommend them to the royal clemency. The fol-
lowing is an account of the number of prisoners
now in the Penitentiary, with the period for which
they are confined, and their classification :-3 are sen-
tenced to 10 years, 2 to 8, 3 to 7, 171 to 5, 15 to 4, 90 to
3, 136 to 2, and 30 to 1 ; making a total of 500. These
are classed as follows:—Makers of list-shoes, &c., 74;
cabinet-makers, 75; printers, 43; turners, 62 ; button-
makers, 34; shoemakers, 50; lace-makers, 26 ; hatters,

'the time of Charles V., are in the estimation of the
antiquary second to no edifice of the same date in
France. But when Vincennes, a still older relic of the
French monarchy, can be allowed to be mutilated by

authorisation of the Minister of War, St. Germain may well
be desecrated. It is surely high time that all acts of
Vandalism—the constant indications of a revolutionary
spirit—should be put a stop to in France, which has
suffered by them more than any other country in West-
ern Europe. The Chateau of St. Germain, if restored
like Versailles or Fontainebleau, might, with its eaten-
i sive forest and commanding position, be converted into
one of the most remarkable Royal Palaces in Franca; or
it might, at any rate, be turned into a national museum
—the Musee d'Artillerie, fur example—and thus pre-
i served from further injury.
