[ADVERTISEMENT.] —DRAFNESS AND DEFECTIVE
VISION RELIEVED, 29, A.LBERMARLE-STREET, PICCADILLY.—NewIy
invented acoustic tubes, for relief of extreme deafness, and when
inserted in tho ear cannot bo perceived by the nearest observer—
they are entirely different from all others, and are the smallest hear-
ing Instruments constructed—measuring only a quarter of an inch in
their widest part; they may be securely adjusted in the ears unob-
served, and removed therefrom with as great ease and facility. Per-
seas are enabled to join in general conversation, and to hear most
distinctly in a place of worship, &c., and what should be greatly
considered, a natural expansion of the cavity of the ear Is preserved
—a thickening or contraction of which in many instances is par-
tially the cause of deafness—and by their use the unpleasant SC.-
Nation of singing noises in the ears is entirely obviated. Also im-
proved hearing trumpets of every description. Immediately tile
newly-invented spectacle lenses are placed before imperfect vision,
either by day or candlelight, that mist and dullness which appear
before the eyes is at once removed, every object becomes clear and
distinct, so that the most aged defective sight becomes bright and
brilliant, and is brought to its youthful, natural, and original state.
Also the most powerful achromatic telescopes, opera glasses, and
microscopes. Caution—Messrs. S. and B. Solomons, opticians, are
not in any way connected with a person of the same name in their
immediate neighbourhood, nor in any part of the country. To prevent
mistakes, be cautious, and observe—only to be had at 39, AlberMarle-
treet, Piccadilly, opposite the Yor Hotel.

TEEN YESES' STANDING CURED ET HOLLOWAY'S OINTMENT AND
PILLS.—Copy of a letter from Mr. Frederick, chemist, 32, Sidewell-
street, Exeter;" To Professor Holloway.—Sir,—l have the plea-
sure to inform you that the demand for your pills and ointment is
rapidly increasing. Several remarkable and wonderful cases of cure
by their means have lately come to my notice. One in particular, an
old gentleman of this city who had an ulcerated leg for sixteen years,
and had spent hundreds of pounds without obtaining relief, but was
afterwards perfectly cured by the use of Holloway's Ointment and ,
Pills.—Sold by all dealers in medicine, and at Professor Holloway's '
Establishment, 244, Strand, London. ?
STRIKE ON THE RICHMOND RAILWAY.—On Monday
afternoon, about two o'clock, there was a general strike on the Rich-
mond Railway. The men, to the number of 700, ceased working,
expressing a determination to have an increase in their wages of six-
pence per day. Many of the men being drunk, Mr. Knill, the con-
tractor, apprehended a disturbance, and applied to the police. The
navigators paraded the town of Wandsworth until a late hour, but
no disturbance arose. • The contractor afterwards declared his inten.:
tion of not taking one of the old hands on again. Yesterday the
works remained suspended, and in the course of the morning the con-
tractor had a private interview with Mr. Clive, at Wandsworth Po-
lice-court, the nature of which was not made public. At a later pe-
riod of the day a large 'number of navigators collected about the
court, and ultimately about a dozen of them came to the magistrate
and applied for summonses for the wages due to them. Mr. CHIT
refused to grant their request, on the ground that they were hired
servants, in which.' case a magistrate could not act. As the demand
was a mere debt, it should be recovered at the Court of Requests.

tion Railway Company to purchase the Durham and Sunderland
