S4PECTACLES.-SIGHT AND HEARING.-
DEAFNESS.—A newly-invented instrument for ex-
treme cases of deafness, called the SOUND MAGNIFIER,
Organic Vibrator, and Invisible Voice Conductor. It fits so
into the ear as not to be in the least perceptible ; the unplea-
sant sensation of singing noises in the head is entirely re-
moved. It affords instant relief to deaf persons, and enables
them to hear distinctly at Church and at public Assemblies.
Every other kind of hearing instruments. Messrs. SOLO-
MONS have invented spectacle lenses of the greatest trans-
parent power. The valuable advantage derived from their
invention is, that vision becomes preserved and strengthened ;
very aged persons are enabled to employ their sight at the
most minute occupation, can see with these lenses of a much
less magnifying power, and they do not require the frequent
changes to the dangerous effects of further powerful assist-
ance.-39, Albemarle-street, Piccadilly, opposite the York

SPURTING INTELLIGENCE.

EPSOM RACES—TUESDAY,
The Isthmian Games were most satisfactorily inaugu-
rated, and, despite the gloomy day on which they com-
menced, they are not likely to disappoint expectation. In-
deed, the townsfolk were never so full of hope of reaping a
rich harvest from the heavy crop of visitors which has since
Monday night sprung up in the town. They have made
ample I rovision for the reception of all sorts and conditions
of people, and those persons who may, like Mrs. Gilpin,
" be on pleasure bent, but have a frugal mind," will be ac•
commodated according to their means. For the racing
man the programme abounds in attractions, and although
the Derby is regarded by the mere pleasure-seeker as " the
be all and end all" of the meeting, yet certain events, and
especially the races for two-yr-olds, are likely to be long re.
membered by a large majority of turfites. We have already
briefly referred to the improvements effected on the course
and in the Grand Stand, and we may now state that Mr.
Dorling, with all his ingenuity and desire to meet the re-
quirements of his patrons, will be unable to extend them.
The arrangements are now complete in every respect ; and
those persons who possess "the means and appliances to
boot," are enabled to see the races with as much comfort
as if they were seated in the stalls of an opera house.
To conduct the railway traffic, and to afford facilities for
reaching the course, due preparations have been made. At
the London-bridge station a large body of the M divi-
sion of police are on duty, and the staff of officials at the
Epsom station of the " Waterloo line" has been reinforced
by some of the L division, under the command of Sergeant
Rackstraw, and the London station of the same company
was also kept by a number of men from the L division.
Inspector Lovelace, with a well-disciplined troop of the V
brigade, has the care of the town of Epsom, and the ap-
proaches to the Don ns, whilst the course, as usual, is under
the charge of the A division, who have had great experience
in the management of vast crowds of race-going people.
The officers in charge of the men were Superintendent
Walker, Inspectors Butt, Bradstock, and Eccles.
The racing was marked by the usual " first day's" charac-
teristics. It was merely-a prelude to the grand doings of
the Derby day. The Craven Stakes occasioned no " Blue
Jacket sensation," as it did in 1856, when its result fur-
nished a new favourite, and seemed to show to demonstra-
tion that Tournament could not lose the Derby. That he
did lose it, however, is a matter of turf history.
The Craven Stakes of 10 sous each, with 50 added ; for 3-yr-
olds, 7st 7th; four, Bst 121 b ; five and upwards, 9st 41b ;
mares allowed 51b, and geldings 31b. The last mile and

at the third attempt, atter Knight of St. Patrick had re-
fused to go near his horses. He was left in the rear when
the signal was given, Janus and Malta running in front,
side by side, to Tattenham Corner, where the others began
to get on good t3rms with them. At the distance they were
beaten, and Cape Flyaway on the upper ground, and Can-
tine on the lower, finished the race together, running so
wide that it was impossible for the spectators on the Stand
to determine which had won; the judge, too, being unable
to separate them, and pronouncing a dead heat. Four
lengths off Virgilius was third, and close up with him were
Malta and the Clarissa colt. Cosmopolite, Knight of St.
Patrick, Polonius, and Twilight were beaten off. Cantine
afterwards walked over, and the stakes were divided.

THE NAPE

A letter from Malta, dated Valetta, May 24,
says :
" Intelligence was received by the last mail from Gibral-
tar of the assembling of a very large Spanish fleet at
Algeciras, the ostensible object of which was to make a
naval demonstration on the coast of Morocco, owing to the
Emperor having failed to remit the instalment due of the
indemnity which he failed to pay to Spain for ending the
late war. As a matter of precaution our naval authori-
ties have determined upon increasing the strength of
our naval forces in those waters. Her Majesty's ship St.
Jean d'Acre, Capt. the Hon. C. B. Elliot, C. 8., and the
Racoon, corvette, Capt. Chamberlain, left port on the 22d
inst., within a few hours of each other, for Gibraltar; and
the Weser, 6, Commander Johnstone, left on the following
day for Corfu, with instructions, it is said, to Rear-Admiral
Dacres, to despatch a portion of his fleet to Malta for the
same destination.
" M. Lesseps passed through Malta the day before yester-
day from Marseilles to Alexandria. This sanguine gentle-
man has, I understand, assured several persons here who
are so fortunate as to hold shares in the Isthmus of Suez
canal scheme, that the work will be in such progress by the
end of a year as to permit small vessels to pass through it
from one sea to the other.
" Preparations continue to be made for the submersion of
the Tripoli portion of the Malta and Alexandria telegraph.
Yesterday the commercial agents, Messrs. E. J. Gingell and
Co., shipped on board her Majesty's corvette Scourge the
electric instruments and a large quantity of telegraph stores
for Tripoli and Bengazi. The Malacca, it is hoped, will be
ready by Monday or Tuesday next to commence paying out
the cable to Tripoli. The point of departure is to be St.
Goorge's Creek, in the bay of Marsassirocco, on the south-
east coast of this island, where a cable-house has been
erected for the junction of the submarine and land lines.
The day before yesterday evening the Maltese schooner.
Valetta, having on board the shore cable and 15 telegraph
operatives, left port for Tripoli, in tow of the tug Bulldog,
which is to accompany her the whole way, and tow her
when such assistance is necessary, in order that no time
may be lost in laying the shore end to meet the Malacca
with the deep sea line.
"Her Majesty's ship Queen is daily expected from Bey-
rout. One of the French transports which are to convey
the French troops from Syria passed to the eastward yester-
day. By the steamer arrived to-day from Beyrout, I learn
that the French troops arc ready to embark."
The Euryalus, 51, screw steam-frigate, under the
charge of the officials of the steam reserve and dock-
yard, made her official trial at the measured mile
to-day ; she was under steam about five hours, and
the result was satisfactory. Captain Broadhead, the
newly-appointed captain of the steam reserve at
this port, was prevented from witnessing the trial,
being engaged on the court-martial at the Victory.
The Punjaub, Captain Foulerton, H.M. Indian
Navy, is still at Spithead. Orders were received to
land any serious hospital cases, and she is expected
to proceed to Woolwich the first favourable oppor-
tunity, unless she receives contrary orders and comes
into Portsmouth. She is a teak-built ship, and
was fitted out as a paddle-wheel steamer, with
engines of 700 horse-power. However, her steam-
ing dualities were not so great as could be ex-
pected. They could not get up steam so as to get
a greater speed than eight knots, whilst under
her present light rig—only as an auxiliary to the
steam—she would make, under canvas, 12,,A- and 13
knots ; and it is thought that by her conversion
into a screw steam-corvette she will prove a
valuable acquisition to her Majesty's navy. As a
troop-ship, she can find accommodation for at least
1,000 men, besides women and children, and has
commodious cabins and saloon for officers and
ladies. She is well ventilated with patent bull's-
eye ports, and her space between decks is nearly
seven feet under the beams. Her hospital (or
sick bay) berths, as also a separate division from
off the troop-deck for married people, are most
