[ADVERTISEMENT.] —DEAFNESS AND DEFECTIVE
VISION RELIEVED, 39, ALBERMARLE-STREET, PICCADILLY.—NewIy
invented acoustic tubes, for relief of extreme deafness, and when
inserted in the ear cannot be 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-
sons 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 pee-
tinny the cause of deafhess—and by their use the unpleasant sen-
sation of singing noises in the ears Is entirely obviated. Also im-
proved hearing trumpets of every description. Immediately the
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 bcoomes clear and
distinct, se 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 11. 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 bad at 39, Albermarle-
treet, Piccadilly, opposite the Tor Hotel.

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. Clive
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.
DURHAM AND SUNDERLAND RAILWAY. A special
general meeting of the shareholders of this company was held, in
compliance with the standing orders of Parliament, on Monday, in
the Commission Room, Exchange-buildings, Sunderland. Thomas
Robson, Esq., a director, was called to the chair. He stated that the
object of the meeting was to give the assent or dissent of the com-
pany to the deed of agreement between the directors of the Railway
Company and the directors of the Newcastle and Darlington Junc-
tion Railway Company, for the sale and purchase of the railway, and
to give their assent or otherwise to a Bill now pending in Parliament,
entitled " A Bill for enabling the Newcastle and Darlington Junc-
tion Railway Company to purchase the Durham and Sunderland
Railway, and the Wearmouth Dock, and to make certain branch
Railways in the county of Durham, and for other purposes." The
motions for tke sale, &c., of the railway having been made and se-
mted, they were, after some observations, put to the meeting and
carried unanimously.

S. ERIOUS AFFRAY.—On Monday last, two men were
felling thnber near Redditch, and having during the day partaken
too freely of intoxicating drinks, they quarrelled on their way home,
when one of them, Roberts, taking up his Axe aimed a blow at his
companion Thomas, which missed his head, but entered tile fleshy
part of the left thigh. Roberts immediately aimed another blow at
Thomas, which cut off the flesh from the front part of the forehead
in a slanting direction down to the left ear, and Thomas has lost
such a quantity of blood that it 15 doubtfill whether ho will recover,
