By ',ler Majesty's Royal Letters Patent for valuable and
extraordinary improvements in the most powerful and
brilliant Telescopes, Camp, Racecourse, Opera, and Per.
spective Glasses, to know the, distances of objects viewed
through them—of groat importance to the army, navy,
and others. These telescopes possess such extraordinary
powers that some three and a-half inches, with an extra, eye.
piece, will show distinctly Jupiter's moons, Saturn's ring,
and the double siars ; with the same telese.ope can be
seen a person's enuntenance three miles and a half distant.
and an object from 16 to 20 miles.
.They are of larger and ail
sizes, with increasing powers accordingly ; while their vary-
ing from to 6 inches enable ns to discover more than the
above, and the Georgian, with his 6 satellites, ize.___The Royal
Exhibition, 1851.—Valuable, newly-invented, very small,
powerful waistcoat-pocket gless,the size of a walnut, by which
Li poise n can be seen and known 1 miles distant; they answer
r awry purpose on the race-course, and at the opera houses,
country scenery,. and ships are clearly seen at 8 to 10 miles.
They are invaluable for shooting, deer-stalking, yachting, to
dport,mon, gentlemen, gamekeepers, and tourists. Opera,
race-course, camp, and perspective glasses, with wonderful
power. Newly-constructed Spectacle Lenses of the great-
tad transparent power. The valuable advantage derived
from this invention is, that vision becoming impaired is
preserved and strengthened, and very aged persons are
enabled to employ their sight at the most minute occu-
pation-- can see with these louses of a much less magnify•
ing power—and they do not require tho frequent changes
to the dangerous effects of further powerful assistance.
Deafness—New Discovery.—The Organic Vibrator, an ex-
traordinary powerful, small, newly-invented instrument for
deafness, entirely different from all others, to surpass any-
thing of the kind that has been, or probably ever lan be,
produced. Being of the same colour as the skin, is not per.
ceptible ; it enables deaf persons to hoar distinctly at church
and at public assemblies ; the unpleasant sensation of singing
noises in the ears is entirely removed ; and it affords all the
assistance that possibly could be dosired.-39, Albemarle-
