By her Majesty's Royal Letters Patent for valuable an 1 ex-
traordina -y improvements in the most powerful and brilliant
Telescopes, Camp, Race-course, Opera, and Perspective
Glasses, to know the distances. These Telescopes possess
such extraordinary power 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 telescope
can be seen a person's countenaz.ce three-and-a-half miles
distant and an object from 16 to 20 miles, For the waist-
coat-pocket; and are of larger, and all sizes, with increasing
powers accordingly. The 'Royal Exhibition, 1851. —A valu-
able, newly-invented, very small, powerful, Waistcoat-pocket
Glass, the size of a walnut, by which a person can be seen and
knownone and a-half mile distant They answer every pur-
pose on the Race-course and at the Opera-houses. Country
scenery and, ships are clearly seen at 12 to 14 miles. They
are invaluable for shooting, deer-stalking, yachting, to
sperLsmen, gentlemen, gamekeepers, and tourists. Opera,
Camp, Perspective, and Race-c3urse Glasses, with wonderful
powerS.—lnvaluable preserving Spectacle Lenses of the
gran:est tra.naigtrent power. The great advantage
from this invention is, that vision impaired becomes pre-
served and strengthened, and very aged persons m
e abled
to employ their sight at tne most minute octupatioo— can see
with those lenses of a much less magnifying power—and,
they do not require the frequent changes 'to the tatr-
porous
porous effects of further powerful assistance. Perseus
can be suited at the irios# remote part of the world by scud-
ing ono of the glasses out at their spectac'es in .wetter, and
stating the dist •lace from the eye they can read mall print
with it, and those who have not made use of spectacles by-
stating their ago.
Deafuess.—New Discovery,—The Organic
Vibrator, au' ex raordi aey powerful, small, newly-i avented
instrument for deafness, entirely different from all others,
surpassing anything of the kind that has been, or probably
can, be produced. .Baiug of the same colour as the skin, is
not pereeptible. It enables deaf persons to hear distinctly at
church and at assemblieF ; the unpleasant sensation of
singing noises in the ears is entirely remov.d, and it affords
all the assistance that possibly could be desired.-3.), Aik©.
