vented Spectacle Lenses, &c., of the greatest transparent power—
immediately these newly invented Spectacle; Lenses are placed
before extremely imperfect vision, either by day or candle-light,
that mist and dullness which appear before the eyes are at once
removed, every object becomes clear and distinct, vision becomes
preserved and strengthened, and very aged people are enabled to
employ their sight at the most minute occupation, and can see with
hose Lenses of a much less magnifying power, nor will they re-
tuire the frequent changes to further helps, as the Spectacles now
in common use, so that the most aged imperfect sight becomes
bright and brilliant, and is brought to its youthful, natural, and
original state; those objects being accomplished is a matter of mush
deeper consequence than can be imagined.
All kinds of newly invented INVISIBLE ACOUSTIC IN-
STRUMENTS, which enable Individuals at an advanced age, and of
forty and fifty years' standing of extreme dealings, instantly to join
in general conversation, and to catch the sound of a distant low
speaker at church, theatre, &c. It pours the conversation into the
ears to such an extent that in most severe cases deafness cannot be
observed.
Also the most powerful newly invented ACHROMATIC
OPER A.G LASSES, which are invaluable on the race-course, as
well as at the theatre, &c. The Telescopes for the waistcoat
pocket possess extraordinary great powers for shooting and sea
purposes, and with stands for astronomical observations, with the
celebrated Lenses of the most clear transparent brilliancy. The
powers are so great over all others, and the Lenses so bright and
brilliant, that the most minute objects, at an extraordinary dis.
tance, are brought completely under the eyes. Sportsmen,
tourists, and sea-side visitors will indeed here have a great treat.

T. VALENTINE'S DAY.
Two pretty young ladies (so we have hear! say),
Were talkieg concerning St. '6 Valentine's Day."
" I say,'' said the rim," em you tell me the reason
We've so many love-letters sent us this season
Time was' when we'd never a knock at tie door,
But now we have valentines' sent by the score."
" I have thought," said the other, bestowing a snide—
" I have thought of the subject d very long while;
And I really believe, after all's said and done,
That the credit is due to E. MO ,E S and SON:
Whose wonderful Clothing, besides being smart,
Can kindle a flame in a gentleman's heart.
I cannot give reasons how this tact be—
But such is the case, I assure you," s. id she.
" There is something in MOSS ES' garments, they say,
That drives every bachelor notion away.
Gents. begin to be proud of their own persons thus,
And then, as a consequence. think about us.' "
" If such," said her friend, " be the NIOSESES' dress,
May it ever ensure unabated success
May all the • young sparks' both in country and town,
Buy Clothes at the NIOSESES• mart of renown !
May married and single not rest till they've done
Some favour important for MOSES and SON !"

itn reference to the proclamation and notification
issued under date the 22d of July last, on the occasion of
the promulgation of the new tariff and general regula-
tions of trade, and the appointment of G. T. Lay, Esq.,
to be her Britannic Majesty's officiating Consul at Can-
ton, it is now announced, for the general information of
all British subjects, that the Emperor of China has gra-
ciously approved of the tariff and regulations, and has
directed that they shall be introduced and brought into
operation at the ports of Foochowfoo, Amoy, Ningpo,
and Shanghai, in addition to that of Canton.
The following appointments are therefore made, and
are to take effect from the dates specified; subject to
the approbation and confirmation of her Majesty's Go-
vernment

Captain George Balfour, of the Madras Artillery, to
be her Majesty's Consul at Shanghai, from the Ist of
December, 1843.

Walter Henry Medhurst, Esq., to be Interpeter to
the Consulate at Shanghai, from the Ist Sept., 1843.

A Consul will be appointed to the Port of Fooc•howfoo,
and the establishment of that and the other Consulates
completed as soon as circumstances will admit, of which
arrangements due notice will be given.
By order of his Excellency her Majesty's Plenipo-
tentiary and Chief Superintendent of Trade, &c , in
China. RICHARD WOOSNAM.

Macao, Oct. 1, 1843.—Friend of China, Oct. 5.
We have no arrivals to record this week that have
brought any later intelligence from any part of the
world than we were previously in possession of, and
things are a!l in so quiet a state in China that they leave
us almost nothing to write about, and the editorial part
of our paper is therefore as scantily provided with news
as can well be. The most important matter of the week
has been the signature of the supplementar, treaty. On
Saturday night last, the 7th instant, his Excellency Sir
Henry Pottinger, accompanied by his suite, and several
other gentemen, left, in her Majesty's steamer, Driver, for
the Bogue, and there met on Sunday, a little behind the
Annunghoy Fort, and not far, we are told, from where
the opium was destroyed by Lin, the Imperial Commis-
sioner Keying, and Governor of Canton, Kekung, who
received him in a building erected for the occasion, with
all the customary honours. Here the signatures of the
two high Chinese officers, and her Majesty's Plenipoten-
tiary, were affixed, after which Sir Henry had an inter-
view of several hours with Keying, and the gentlemen
present at the signing were treated to a dinner. The
whole party returned to Macao-roads during the night,
and Sir Henry landed here again on the Monday morn-
ing, and left for Hong-Kong yesterday, in the Driver
steamer. This vessel, we hear, will be dispatched for
the north about the 20th of this month, and takes, as
passengers, the Consuls for Amoy and Shanghai.
GOVERNMENT NOTIFICATION.

With reference to the Government notification, dated
the 2d instant, announcing the intended early introduc-
tion of the provisions of the new tariff and regulations
of trade at the remaining four ports of China, which are
to be opened by treaty to foreign commerce, in addition
to that of Canton • and adverting to the great increase
of intercourse with and resort of shipping to China,
which may be expected to be the result of recent
arrangements, as well as to the necessity for strict and
defined rules which spring from the arrangements, and
more particularly from certain stipulations which have
been entered into between the high contracting Powers,
and inserted in a pending supplementary treaty, which
will hereafter be published for general information, his
Excellency Sir H. Pottinger, Bart., G.C.8., her Britannic
Majesty's Plenipotentiary and Chief Superintendent of
Trade, &c., in China, considers it to be his imperative
duty to call the special attention of the masters, owners,
and consignees, of all merchant vessels, whatever may
be their dais or description, sailing under British colours,
that may be at this time in the seas or waters of China,
or of her Britannic Majesty's colony of Hong-Kong, or
that may hereafter enter these seas or waters, to the
law relating to merchant seamen, as laid down in the
Act of Parliament of the sth and 6th William IV..
chapter 19, passed in the year 1835, and commonly
called, " Sir James Graham's Act."
In thus calling attention to the above described Act
of Parliament, her Majesty's Plenipotentiary and Chief
Superintendent of Trade, deems it advisable to append
to this notification a brief memorandum, showing the
penalties attached to certain breaches or evasions of the
said Act, which have heretofore seen of frequent, and
almost daily occurrence in China, and from which much
trouble and serious public inconvenience have resulted ;
and to notify that all Consular and other officers of the
British Government in China, to whose duties it may
appertain, will be instructed and authorised to sum•
marily enforce the said penalties with regard to all mer-
chant vessels under British colours, from and after the
Ist day of December next, in every instance where they
may be proved to have been justly incurred ; likewise
that his Excellency the Naval Commander-in-Chief will
be requested to issue the necessary instructions to the
Captains and Commanders of all her Majesty's and the
East India Company's ships of war and steamers, now
or hereafter serving on the China station, and to aid and
assist the said Consular or other officers in enforcing
the said penalties, on receiving an official application in
writing to that effect.
It is further notified that the same rules are to be
deemed applicable to the ports of the military posts of
Tinghai (Chusan) and Koolangsoo, so long ai those posts
may be garrisoned by her Majesty's combined forces.
His Excellency the Chief Superintendent of Trade,
&c., is also pleased to determine and declare, that when
vessels incur any of the penalties, and quit China before
they can be enforced (in the case, for instance, of leav-
ing any of the crew behind, or discharging or shipping
seamen without the sanction of the Consular officer) the
consignees, should there be no owners of the vessel,
shall be held responsible, so far as the law will permit ;
and that in every case where the consignees may not be
considered to be legally responsible for the acts of the
master of any vessel consigned to them, the most de-
cided steps will be taken to have the penalties, with all
attendant expenses, enforced and recovered by the
proper courts of law, whether the vessel may belong to,
or be found in the United Kingdom, or India, or any of
the colonies subject to her Majesty's, or the East India
Company's Government.
her Majesty's Chief Superintendent of Trade, &c., in
China, takes this occasion to further notify, that he has
received a representation from the officers, which is
stated to obtain amongst the foreign shipping at Wham-
poa, of throwing stones and other descriptions of ballast
into the river at that anchorage ; and as such a practice
would be likely to be still more dangerous and detri-
mental to the anchorages of the ports of Shanghai,
Ningpo, and Foochowfoo, it is accordingly positively
prohibited, as well at those ports as at Whampoa ; and
her Majesty's Consuls are hereby directed, empowered,
and authorised to fine the master of any vessel, under
British colours, that may be summarily convicted of a
breach of this rule, in a penalty of not less than ten
pounds (101.), and not exceeding twenty-five pounds
(251.), accrding to the circumstances of the case. All
masters of vessels who may have ballast on board, which
they wish to get rid of, or who may require ballast from
the shore, are directed to report and apply to the Con-
sular officer on the spot, who will have a convenient
place fixed on and pointed out, in the former case for
its being deposited, and in the latter from which it may
be removed.

By order of his Excellency, her Majesty.s Plenipo-
tentiary and Chief 'Superintendent of Trade, &c., in
