HIRING OUT NEWSPAPERS.—The penalty for this
offence is 51., by the Act 29 Geo. 111., c. 50.—The above
paragraph having appeared in several newspapers within
the last few weeks, it is well to inform the public, and
esrecially that part of it who, by pleading the above
Act, have endeavoured to evade their just debts, that it is
no longer in force, as may be seen by referring to Act 6
and 7 "Wm. IV., cap. 73, which repeals "so much of the
29th Geo. 111., cap. 50, as in any way relates to news-
papers."
NEWLY-INVENTED SPECTACLES, TELESCOPES,
OPERA GLASSES, MICROSCOPES, &c.—Messrs. S. and
B. Solomons, Opticians, 39, Albemarle-street, Picca-
dilly, have succeeded in effecting a most scientific im-
provement in Spectacle and Telescope Lenses, &c., of
the greatest transparent power. The extraordinary
advantage derived from this invention is that vision
becomes preserved and strengthened and very aged per:
sons are enabled to employ their sight either by day or
candle light at the most minute occupation, and can see
with those Lenses of a much less magnifying power, nor
will they require the frequent changes to further helps
as the Spectacles now in common use. Also newly-in-
vented Achromatic Waiscoat-pocket Telescopes and
Opera Glasses which are invaluable at the sea-side and
on the race-course, as well as at the theatre, &c.—Every
kind of Telescope for Shooting, Sea purposes, and upon
stand for astronomical observations with the celebrated
Lenses of the most clear transparent brilliancy ; the
powers are so great and the Lenses so bright and bril-
liant that minute objects at an extraordinary distance
are brought completely under the eyes.—Sportsmen,
Tourists, and sea-side visitors will indeed here have a
great treat. Their invisible Voice Conductor gives im-
mediate relief to old standing extreme cases of deafness.
Caution.—Messrs. S. and B. Solomons, Opticians and
Aurists, are not in any way connected with a person
of the same name in their immediate neighbourhood,
nor in any part of the country. To prevent mistakes, be
cautious, and observe.—Only to be had at 39, Albe-
marle-street, Piccadilly, opposite the York Hotel.
TILE ALDERSGATE-STREET NUlSANCE.—Yesterday
at a vrardmote held in the ward of Aldersgate, at which
after a severe contest between Mr. Sharwood and Mr.
Smith, two very respectable inhabitants, for the office of
Common Councilman, the former was declared to be the
successful candidate, Mr. Godson called the attention
of the meeting to the odious whalebone nuisance which
has so long existed in Aldersgato-street, notwithstanding
tho outcry which has been raised against it, and its pre-
sentment to the Court of Aldermen by the inquest jury.
Sir Peter Laurie and other gentlemen present spoke
strongly in support of the measures for its instant re-
moval, and at the termination of the discussion it was
resolved, that the wardmote should send i❑ a memorial
to the Court of Aldermen, praying that the Court would
take steps, by instituting such proceedings as they might
deem proper for the removal of the nuisance created by
the whalebone manufactory of Messrs. Westall, in Al-
dersgate-street. It was also resolved, that in the event
of the refusal of the Court of Aldermen to order pro-
ceedings to be instituted, the ward itself should imme-
diately pursue the necessary means to accomplish the
object of the inhabitants.

OVe understand that the Judges are expected to
assemble on Monday to consider their opinions in the
case of the Queen v. O'Connell and others. The judg-
ment, as has been alreadz announced, will be delivered on
the Monday following, September 2.
WIIIRLWIND.—The Indicaleur of Avignon states
that, on the night of the 10th, a whirlwind passed over
the commune of Monbouton, and produced various acci-
dents. The strangest circumstance connected with its
progress was the overthrow of part of the church, and a
falling in of some of the foundation, which laid bare a
great portion of the tombs in the churchyard, and, raising
up the remains of the bodies, dispersed them to a consi-
derable distance.
