By `.4 er Majesty's Royal Letters Patent for valuable and
extraordinary improvements in the most powerful and
brilliant Telescopes, Camp, Race Course, Opera, and Per-
spective Glasses, to know the distances of objects viewed
through thom—of great importance to the army, navy
and others. These telescopes possess such extraerdinary
pow ere that some three and a-half inches, with an extra eye-
piece, will show distinctly Jupiter's moons. Saturn's ring,
and the double stars ; with the' same teicsaope can be
soon a person's countenance three miles and a half distant,
and e.n object from 16 to 20
_miles. They are of larger and all
sizes, with increasing powers accordingly ; while their vary-
ing from 4 to 6 inches enable us to discover more than the
above and the Georgian 'with his 6 satellites, &c.—Tho 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 11 miles distant ; they answer
overf purpose on the race-course, and at the opera houses,
conatry scenery, and ships are clearly seen at 8 to 10 miles.
Thor are invaluable for shooting, deer-stalking, yachting, to
sporeemon, gentlemen, gamekeepers, and tourists. Opera,
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 sight at the most minute occu-
pation- can see with these lenses of a'mnch less magnify-
ing power—and they do not require the frequent changes
to the dangerous effects of further powerful assistance.
Deaf sess—New Discoicry.—The Organic Vibrator, an ex-
tr.uordi nary powerful, small, newly-invented instrument for
deataess, entirely different from all others, to surpass any-
thing of the kind that has been, or probably ever ean 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 afierds all the
assistance that possibly could be desired.-39, Albemarle-
street, Piccadilly. Observe—opposite the York Hotel.
