RUSSIAN INTRIGUES WITH CHINA.

We read the following paragraph in the Pekin
Gazette of the 10th April, 1857 :
" The Chinese Foreign-office have addressed his
Imperial Majesty to the effect that officers specially
appointed by them have carefully conducted certain
Russians back to their own country."
In a private letter, received on th 9 21st instant,
from the North of China, it is mentioned casually
that a Russian Imperial Commissioner had lately
been at Pekin ; that he and his suite had a short
time b2fore gone home ; but that he would return
to Peking in a few months.

About 15 months back it was rumoured amongst
the Chinese that the Russian Government had
lately concluded a treaty with the Emperor of
China, by which the Russian merchants were per-
mitted to carry on trade at other mar's on the
fronfers besides Kialak4, namely, the cities of Bar-
koul, Trliasutae, Holin, and Kurun ; also, that the
Emperor of China had granted Russian merchants
perra'ssion to trade at the Five Ports ; and, later,
it was rumoured that agents for Russian merchants
had purcha-ed land, on which to build warehouses
and offices, at Chilean and Shanghae.—North China
Herald, May 30.

GLASSES.—S. and B. Solomon, opticians, 39, Albernarle•

By her Majesty's Royal Letters Patent for va'uable and ex-
traordina7 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 countenance 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
known one 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
aro invaluable for shooting, deer-stalking, yachting, to
sportsmen, gentlemen, gamekeepers, and tourists. Opera,
Camp, Perspective, and Race-c curse Glasses, with wonderful
powers.—lnvaluable preserving Spectacle Lenses of the
greatest transparent power. The great advantage derived
from this invention is, that vision impaired becomes pre-
served 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 dan-
gerous effects of furtber powerful assistance. Persons
can be stated at the MOO 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 eye they can read email print
with it, and those who have not made use of spectacles by
stating their age. Deafness.—New Discovery.—The Organic
Vibrator, an extraordinarily powerful, small, newly-invented
instrument for deafness, entirely different from all others,
surpassieg anything of the kind that has been, or probably
can, be produced. Being of the same colour as the skin, is
not perceptible. It enables deaf persons to hoar distinctly at
church and at public assemblies ; the unpleasant sensation of
singing noises in the ears is entirely removed, and it affords
all the assistance that possibly could bo desired.-39, Alto-
