THE ARMY.

We have reason to believe that the Mediterra-
nean garrisons will be promptly reinforced. Pro-
bably several of the second battalions of regiments
serving in India will be employed in this service.
The 28th Company of Royal Engineers, under
the command of Captain R. W. Duff, now stationed
at the Camp at Aldershott, and the 29th Company
stationed at Portsmouth, are under orders to pro-
ceed to Chatham to join head-quarters. The 28th
Company will be relieved at Aldershott by the
35th (Captain W. Y. Stuart's) Company, and the
29th, at Portsmouth, by the 36th (Captain C. E.
Harvey's) Company, both of which are now at
Brompton Barracks. The companies of Royal
Engineers selected to embark for the Mediterranean
to augment that branch of the service are the 28th,
which proceeds to Corfu, and the 29th, which is
to embark for Malta. It is understood that the
30th Company, now stationed at Shorncliffe, will
also be despatched to the Mediterranean.

-A formidable convoy of 18-pounder guns, and
loaded ammunition waggons, together with the
numerous train, composing four siege batteries,
yesterday departed from . Woolwich garrison
for Colchester and Chichester, in command
respectively of Major Franklin, C.B. ; Major Barry,
Capt. Leslie, and Capt. Milward, B.A. Each gun
was drawn by 12 horses, the four batteries employ-
ing about 500 horses. Each of the marine stations
has now been manned with two additional powerful
batteries complete, which will render the entire line
of coast defensible against any sudden invasion.
The brigades of field and siege batteries of Royal
Artillery, together with the batteries of the Royal
Horse and the available portion of the Line regi-
ments in garrison, were yesterday reviewed on
Woolwich-common by General Sir W. F. Williams,
Commandant. The whole of the troops were in
heavy marching order, and were put through the
usual exercises pertaining to a general field-day.

The Wanderer.—For all complaints ordinarily affecting
mankind, whether internal or external, nothing can com-
pare with these peerless remedies. Young and old of both
sexes may use them with certain success and perfect safety;
they are equally efficacious in hot and cold climates ; no
change of temperature or long-keeping impairs their cura-
tive pmperties, which never deteriorate, and are therefore
especially adapted for emigrants, and officers or gentlemen
whose pleasures or duties lead them to foreign countries
and various climates. These remedies any man can safely
prescribe with the absolute certainty that he cannot do
wrong; they purify, and purifying must be beneficial, not
only for the cure of the present ailment, but for security
against future disease

TACLES.—POWERFUL TELESCOPES.—OPERA RACE, AND
PERSPECTIVE GLASSES. Messrs. S. and B. Solomon,
opticians, 39, Albermarle-Street, Piccadilly. Observe—
opposite the York Hotel, W.—Opera, Race-course, Field,
and general Out-door Day and Night Perspective Glasses,
very small, for the waistcoat pocket, each containing 12 and
18 lenses, constructed of German glass. Will show dis-
tinctly a person to know them at two-and-a-half and three
miles, and an object from eight to ten miles distant. Her
Majesty's Coast Guards are making use of them as day and
night glasses in preference to all others ; they are also pre-
ferred for deer-stalking by sportsmen, gentlemen, and
gamekeepers. Telescopes 3f inches long, by which a per-
son may be clearly seen and known at 3f miles' and an
object at 12 to 14 miles' distance; and with an extra astro-
nomical eye-piece, Jupiter's moons, Saturn's rings, and
the double stars are distinctly seen. All the above can be
had of larger and all sizes, with increasing powers, and
are secured by her Majesty's Royal Letters Patent.
The Royal Exhibition, 1851. A valuable, newly-
invented, very small, powerful Waistcoat-pocket Glass,
the size of a walnut, by which a person can be seen
and known one and a half mile distant. They answer
every purpose on the Race-course and at the Opera -
houses. ountry scenery and ships are clearly seen
at four to six miles. They are invaluable for shooting,
deer-stalking, yachting, to sportsmen, gentlemen, game-
keepers, and tourists. Price 30s.—Spectacle Lenses of the
greatest transparent power. The great 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 occupation
—can see with those lenses of a much less magnifying
power, and they do not require the frequent changes to the
dangerous effects of further powerful assistance. Persons
can be suited at the most remote part of the world by send-
ing one of the glasses out of their spectacles in a letter, and
stating the distance from the eyes they can read small print
with it, and those who have not made use of spectacles by
statingtheirage. Deafness.—New Discovery.—The Organic
Vibrator, an extraordinarily powerful small newly-invented
instrument for Deafness, entirely different from all others,
surpasses anything of the kind that has been, or probably
ever can be, produced. Being of the same colour as the
skin, is not perceptible. It enables deaf persons to hear
distinctly at church and at public assemblies; the unplea-
sant sensation of singing noises in the ears is entirely re •
moved,. and it affords all the assistance that possibly could
be desired.--39, Albemarle-street, Piccadilly. Observe--
