ADVENTISNMENT.I St(Mr AND MARINO. SPECTACLES,
POWERFUL TELESCOPES, OPERA, RACE AND PERSPECTIVE GLASSE&
—NiesSM. S, and B. Solemmas, opticians, 39, Albemarle'
street, Piccadilly. Observe opposite the York Betel.
By leer Majesty's Royal Letters Patent for valuable end
;814
extraordinary improvements in the most powerful and
brilliant Telescopes, Camp, Racecourse, Opera, and Per:
spective Glasses, to know the distances of objects violet'
LA through them—of great importance to the army, WY,
and others. These telescopes possess such extraordinary
powers that some three and a-half inches, with an extra eye'
piece, sill show distinctly Jupiter's moons, Saturn's ring,
and the double stars ; with the same telescope can he
seen a person's countenance three miles and a half distant,
and an object from 16 to 20 miles. They are of larger and all
sizes, with increasing sowers accordingly ; while their vary'
b ham rom 4 to 6 inches enable us to discover more than the
above, and the Georgian with his 6 satellites, &c.—The Royal
Exhibition, 1851.—Valuable, newly-invented, very small,
' powerful waistcoat-pocket glass,the size of a walnut, by which
a person can be seen and known 1i miles distant ; they answer
every 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
sportsmen, gentlemen, gamekeepers, and tourists. Opens,
race-course, camp, and perspective glasses, with wonderful
power. Newly-constructed Spectacle Lenses of the great'
est 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 eight at the most minute occu-
pation can see with these lenses of a much less magnify.
ing power—and they do not require the frequent changes
to the dangerous`effeets 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 hear 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 desired.-39,

SERIOUS INDISPOSITION OF Mn. BRIGHT, M.P..-,-We
regret to state that the health of our distinguished re-
praserxtative is so unsatisfactory as to compel him to
abstain for a time from attendance upon his Parlia-
mentary duties. Mr., Bright proceeded to London a
few days ago for the purpose of voting on the Local
Dues on Shipping Bill ; but his medical attendant has
absolutely prohibited him from attending to business of
any description for some mouths to come. We arts sure
that our townsmen and readers will read this statement
with sincere regret; but there is every reason to hope
that, after the necessary repose,. Mr. Bright will be en-
abled to resume his public duties with increased energy
and vigilance,—Mancltester Examiner of yesterday,
