A DUEL IN TEXAS.—Wm. Autry, known as "Dock
Autry," and Wm. Carson fought a duel, eight miles
below Seguin, last Saturday. They used double-barrel
shot-guns and six-shooters, and commenced at 120
paces apart, And continued advancing and firing until
within six or eight feet, when Carson was shot through
with a six-shooter, and died in two hours. Autry was
not hurt, but some buckshot struck him upon the first
fire, too much apart to do any injury, and a pistol shot
passed through his vest and shirt, just missing him.
Autry immediately left, and was pursued by the sheriff
of Guadalonpe county, and overtaken 00 milei from
Seguin and brought back. We learn that several others
are implicated as seconds.--Texas Paper.

By leer 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. These telescopes
possess such extraordinary powers that some three and a-half
inches, with an extra eye-piece, still show distinctly Jupiter's
moons, Saturn's ring, and the double stars. With the sam
telescope can be 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 powers accordingly.—The
Royal Exhibition, 1851. Valuable, uewly-invented,very small ,
powerful waistcoat-pocket glass, the size of a walnut, by whist
a person can be seen and kn own 1i miles distant ; they answer
every purpose on the race-course, and at the opera houses,
country scenery, and ships aro clearly seen at Bto 10 miles.
They aro invaluable for shooMvg, deer-stalking, yachting, to
sportsmen, gentlemen, gameke3pers, and tourists. Opera,

power. Newly-constracted Spo•Ascle Lenses of the great-
est transparent power. The valuable advantage derived
from this invention is, that vi sion becoming impaired is
preserved and strengthened, and very aged persons are
enabled to employ their sight at the most minute occu-
pation- eau see with these lanee a of a much less magnify
rower—and they do not rettnire the frequent changes
to the dangerous effects of furOlier powerful assistance.
Persons can be suited at the most remote part of the world,
by sending one of the glasses out of their spectacles in a
letter, and stating the distance frees' the eyes they can read
small newspaper print with it;; and those who have
not made usa of spectacles by s Latin their age. Deaf-
ness. New Discovery. The 0 rganic Vibrator, an ex-
traordinary powerful, small, newly-inven'cod instrument for
deafness, entirely different from all ,othei.s, to surpass any-
thing of the kind that has been, or probably ever can be,
produced. Being of the tame colour. as the skin, is not per-
ceptible ; it enables deaf persons to / mar distinctly at church
and at public assemblies; the nnplea sant sensation of singing
noises in the ears is entirely remove d; and it affords all the
assistance that possibly could be iesired.-39, Albemarle.
