MEDICAL TESTIMONIALS. _ _ _

The Messrs. S. and B. Solomons' newly invented Spectacle Lenses
afford astonishing relief to extremely imperfect vision. We give
them the decided preferenceto every other kind of Lens—the clear-
ness of the transparency brings every object very distinct, and ena-
bles individuals to view the most minute particle with perfect ac-
curacy; they are particularly pleasant by candlelight as they appear
cooling to the sight, and soften bright and brilliant lights.-- J. Blun-

111 lIE OJIBBEWAY INDIANS
The " Ojibbeway Indians" visiting Britain,
Is a matter concerning which much has been written.
Some folks are, it seems, at a loss to conceive
Why they ventur'd their own native country to leave.
Many say 'twas to see the young Queen on her throne,
And such is a likely opinion, we own ;
But let us endeavour (for that will be best),
To set the whole matter completely at rest.
One reason, perhaps, why the foreigners came,
Was to visit our wonderful houses of fame.
Such a thing they would never have done,
Had they not been induced by E. MOSES and SON.
We have often asserted (and not in vain boast),
That our fame is in many a far-distant coast ;
And thus the Ojibbeway Indians heard
Of the warehouse by which the whole world appears stirr'd
And hence, with a high curiosity smitten,
They, doubtless, determined on visiting Britain.
Then success to the Indians 1 lasting success !
And may they be tempted to alter their " dress."
Our clothing is made on a much better plan,
And will do them more service than their garments can.
And thus will they profit by what they have done
In coming to visit E. MOSES and SON.

CAUTION.-E. Moses and Son regret being obliged to guard
the public against imposition, as they learn that the untrades-
manlike falsehood of being connected with them, or it's the
same concern, has been resorted to in many instances, and for
obvious reasons. They have no connexion whatever with any
other establishment, and those who desire genuine Cheap
Clothing should call or send to 154, Minories, to guard against
disappointment, &c.

HARRIS, Author of " Wild Sports of Southern Africa."
" The value of his present work is two-fold ; consisting, first,
in the reported accounts of the interior of /Ethiopia, and in the
accession made to scientific knowledge by the observation of
precise facts, sometimes in a region where no European foot
had ever trod, and always in places where no traveller of
any education had penetrated since the days of the Portuguese
missionaries. Its second and popular value is its merit as a
graphic narrative of adventure, and an animated picture of
manners and character, striking in themselves and new to
English readers."—Spectator.

each containing Four highly-finished Steel Engravings, from
New Plates, engraved expressly for this work, printed on demy

"This is the first Number of a very superior work, both with
regard to engraving and printing; and the letter-press matter
is exceedingly good. The present mania for illustrations must
necessarily bring into the market much that borders on the
ridiculous, in the attempt at pictorial embellishment ; and,
therefore, we are the better pleased when plates of such supe-
rior kind are brought before us. And the four in this Number
may fairly challenge comparison with their numerous brethren
that have preceded them. Whalers attacked by Bears,' is
a gem of art ; and Ave Marie,' is as characteristic as it is
well executed. We are glad to see so excellent a work com-
mence with the new year; there is every chance, judging from
the specimen before us, of the speculation proving a successful
one.' —Court Gazette.

FRANCE.
CHAMBER OF DEPUTIES.—SITTING 01' JAN.I2.
The President took the chair at two o'clock.
The President read a letter from M. Teste, tender-
ing his resignation for the arrondissement of Apt
(Vaucluse).
The order of the day was the reading of the
Address.

The President, amidst the deepest silence, read as
follows :—" Sire—The union existing between the
great bodies of the State, and the loyal concurrence
which the Chamber has given to your Government,
have upheld and strengthened public tranquillity.
The ascendancy of the laws, aided by the intelligence
and good sense of the country, has everywhere proved
sufficient to maintain order at home. Commerce and
industry each day make a more rapid stride.—
(Marks of dissent on the Left.) Agriculture, which
has need of being encouraged in its progress and its
efforts, relies on the solicitude of the Government.—
(Renewed murmurs on the Left.) Information and
comfort, diffused snore equally through all ranks of
society, are improving and elevating the condition of
the inhabitants. Such, Sire, is France, as she has
become under your reign, by the regular develop-
ment of the institutions which she has given herself;
and we behold, with a lively gratitude towards Provi-
dence, the prosperity which our country enjoys.
" We learn with the greatest satisfaction that the
effects of this general prosperity permit a balance to
be re-established between the expenditure and the
revenue in the financial bills which are to be pre-
sented to us. 'We shall endeavour, by wise economy
to consolidate this equilibrium so justly desired.
" We congratulate your Majesty on the pacific na-
ture of our relations with foreign Powers. The peace
of Europe gains strength by its very continuance—it
is founded on the general interests of civilisation and
the respect paid to existing treaties—to those treaties
of which we claim the protection for an unfortunate
nation, whom hope does not abandon, because she has
faith in the justice of the cause.—(General appro-
bation.)
" In Spain, Queen Isabella 11., who is the object of
the affectionate solicitude of your Majesty, has just
been called, although so young, to exercise the Royal
power. In Greece, King Otho has drawn around
him the representatives of the nation. In those two
countries, may royalty and public liberty derive new
strength from their intimate alliance. We are de-

lighted to learn that the.since;Tiriendsi;p which
unites your Majesty to the Queen of Great Britain,
and the accord of sentiments which exists between
your Government and hers, relative to the events in
Spain and Greece, confirm you, Sire, in the favour-
able hopes which are felt for the future prospects of
those two nations allied to France.

" This good intelligence will, without doubt, con.
tribute to the success of the negotiations which,
while they guarantee the repression of an infamous
traffic, ought to tend to again place our commerce
under the exclusive surveillance of our own flag.
" Your Majesty announces that you have con-
cluded treaties of commerce with the King of Sar-
dinia, and the Republics of the Equator and of Vene-
zuela, and that you are engaged in negotiations with
other States in various parts of the world. We hope,
Sire, that those treaties and negotiations, whilst they
maintain to national labour the protection that its
state demands, will open a wider career to the intelli-
gent activity of the country.
" We shall examine with care the measures neces-
sary for the execution of railroads and various other
public works. We hail with eagerness the assurance
that the Bill which is to be presented to us on
secondary instruction will, by satisfying the wishes
of the Charter relative to liberty of instruction, main-
tain the authority and influence of the State over
public education.
"A young Princess, sister of the Emperor of Brazil
and of the Queen of Portugal, has taken a place in
the midst of your family, and we share in the satis-
faction felt by your Majesty in a marriage which
assures the happiness of one of your sons, and adds
to the consolations that God has reserved to you.
" We are pleased to hope, Sire, that our rule in
Algeria will soon be general and tranquil, and that,
thanks to our perseverance, we are near the attain-
ment of our object, and on the point of finding, in
the accomplishment of our work, and in the dimi-
nution of our sacrifices, the price of our efforts.
We unite with your Majesty in thanking, in the
name of the country, the chiefs, and the soldiers of
that brave army, who are never weary either of the
fatigues of war, or of the labours of peace. Among
the chiefs of that army, we are proud to number
one of your sons, whom we are accustomed to see
in every point where France has either danger to en-
counter, or glory to obtain.
" Yes, Sire, your family is truly national ; between
France and you the alliance is indissoluble. Your
oaths and ours have cemented that union.. The rights
of your dynasty, remain placed under the imperish-
able guarantee of the independence and loyalty of the
nation. The public feeling brands with reprobation

gui!ty manifestations.—(Numerous marks of appro••
hation.) Our Revolution of July, in punishing the
violation of sworn faith, has consecrated amongst us
the sanctity of an oath."—(Loud marks of assent.)

THE BUDGET.
The Minister of Finance, after having presented
Bills for the allocation of the extraordinary and sup-
plementary credits of 1843 and 1844, and of the
closed estimates, brought forward the budget for
1845. For some years past, he said, the Government
had been obliged to depart from the principles which,
in ordinary times, ought to direct the administration
of finances. The income of the State had been below
its expenditure. Had they followed the example
of a neighbouring country, and permanently omit-
ted putting down the sum annually applied for
clearing off the public debt, and had there
seen consecrated to that purpose only the eventual
excess of the receipts over the expenses, a balance
would have been attained long since. But not only
did the constantly increasing elevation of the public
funds oblige the Government to suspend the action
of a considerable share of the sinking fund, but the
faith due to engagements previously entered into,
and the enactments of the financial code, imposed it on
them as a duty, to reckon this expense amongst those
various expenses which ought to be disposed of with
the ordinary revenues of the country. Besides, the
unemployed funds had received a special allocation,
and the balance would not be a sincere one which
would leave them involved either in totality or in part.
It was not alone the pre-existing debt that was to be
included in the usual budgets, but the interest of
the sums expended in the great public works were
to be successively added to it, whether they were
due to the sinking fund, or to the creditors of
the floating debt. From this there arose each year
a new expense which rendered the final arrange-
ment and equilibrium more difficult. Yet the ambition
of the Government—as it was their duty—was to
bring this abnormal state of things to a close as speedily
as possible. If in 1844 they had resigned themselves
to still remain as they were, it was because they were
allowed to anticipate the period when a balance would
be attained. The Chamber was already aware that
the provisions of the Government had not been erro-
neous. They had been able to obtain for 1845 a ba-
lance in the receipts over the expenditure—and that
without in any way going out of the regular course
of things—without any increase of burdens to the
public, or any postponement of useful and necessary
expenses. The credits given, in the budget which he
was about to have the honour of laying before the
Chamber, were calculated with the same exactitude
as that for 1844 ; and certain departments, which ex-
perience had proved to be insufficiently provided for,
were to receive a necessary addition of' funds. The
means by which this result of obtaining a surplus
had been effected, were simply 'the augmenta-
tion of indirect produce—the resources arising from
the careful enforcement of the laws—and the savings
which a severe examination had produced in certain
departments of the public service. These means were
sufficient to provide for the augmentations which he
alluded to above, and to fill up the chasm of about 28
millions which were required to constitute an equili-
brium. Before entering on the details of the budget
for 1845, he should briefly enumerate the deffciencies
that had existed in the last few years. His prede-
cessor, in bringing, forward his financial statement for
1843, had estimated the deficiences of the estimates
fur 1840, 1841, and 1842, at 372,443,207 f. Last
year the deficiency of the four estimates, from 1840
to 1843 inclusively, were valued at 371,609,0721.,
and at present they found that the whole deficiency for
the five years, from 1840 to 1844 inclusively, was only
360,616,2391. The estimates of 1843 and 1844
being down for 94 millions in this result, there was
definitively an amelioration of 106 millions on the
other three estimates. As this situation was capable
of still further amelioration, it ought not to excite asto-
nishment if he declared, with still greater confidence
than last year, that after 1846 the reserves of the
sinking fund would be disposable for the great public
works. It was even possible that a part of the re-
serve of 1846 itself might be so employed. On
January 1, 1845, the reserves of the years 1842,
1843, and 1844 would have been realised. They
would amount to 209,974,9741., and the arrears of
the five years' emt;.,...1.
debt only for 151,301,265 f. That debt—charged in
addition to the old deficiencies, which, as he had
stated, amounted to 256,029,250 E—with the aid of
the constant anticipations of the excess of each year's
estimates over the expenses, was also to provide for
the excess of the expenses of the great public works
over the part of the loan already issued, and for the
expenses of the railroads described by the bill of
June 11, 1842. The year 1842 had not imposed any
charge in this respect, the expense of the public works
having amounted to only 74,705,111 E, leaving a bas
lance of 294,8891., from the 75 millions allowed out
of the 150 millions that had been realised of the
loan. As the credit of 75 millions had been increased
by a special law by the sum of 14,800,000 f., the
portion of the unemployed credit which is to be added
to the estimates for the year 1843 amounted in the
whole to 15,094,889 f. The sum paid for railroads
had been only 1,364,5081., leaving to be disposed of
in 1843 14,135,492 f. The result of that year's esti-
mates could not yet be exactly ascertained, but he
should not be much wrong were he to value at 118
or 119 millions the expenses of public works to be
paid out of the loan—expenses which, put down in
the budget for 75 millions, were increased by the
sums brought forward from 1842 by credits granted
by special laws. The expenses of railroads were, he
supposed, about 39,500,0001. Subtraction being then
made of the 75,294,889 f. imputable to the first third
of the loan, there remained about 80 millions to be
paid by the floating debt, and recoverable : one-
half from the other portion of the loan not yet ne-
gotiated, and the other half from the reserves of the
sinking fund, which were to be disposable after the
payment of the deficiencies of the ordinary budgets.
Not only was it easy to provide for all those de-
mands with the customary resources of the floating
debt ; but when last year they dropped a hint of a
slight rise in the interest of Treasury Bonds, as a
means of remaining masters of the moment in the
negotiation of the loan, they had been obliged
speedily to lower the rate of that interest, to prevent
the assets from rising to an exaggerated rate, to the
detriment both of the circulation and of the Treasury.
They had also reduced the advances of the Receivers-
general, as much as the prudence which ought
always to be observed in such matters would permit.
Those measures had produced the effect which was
expected, and, nevertheless the assets of the Treasury
had remained more than sufficient to ward against
all eventualities to such circumstances. It had
appeared to the Government opportune—and they
hoped that the Chamber would now approve of their
decision—not to make use, during the year that had
just finished, of the faculty which the law accorded
them, of issuing the whole or part of the other two-
thirds of the loan. They had judged it preferable to
allow the first to class itself definitively and public
credit to gain strength. They could do so without
danger, since the situation of the country allowed
them to announce, as they had done last year, that
whilst they reserved to themselves the right of profit-
ing by circumstances, they held themselves fully at
liberty to wait for a favourable moment for negotia-
ting the remainder of the loan. He now came to the
budget of 1845, of the different dispositions of which
he would give a summary, and would begin with the
ordinary servica. An augmentation of 2,749,532 f.,
applicable to the Three per Cents., was caused by the
consolidation of the bonds of the sinking fund. As
they were unable to fix beforehand the period for the
issue of a new series of the loan, and the nature of
the funds in which it would be issued, it has been
decided on to provide for the service from the
resources of the floating debt, and an increase
of 1,500,000 f. on the interest of that debt was
proposed. In consideration of the advantages secured
by the law of 28th April to all the holders of
transferable offices, it is proposed to fix at 3 per cent.
the interest of the caution money of that class of of-
fices. This will produce a saving of 800,000 f. The
calculation of probable extinctions showed a diminu-
tion of 1,440,0001. in the payment of life annuities.
A saving of 286,050 f. had been effected in the allow-
ances to members of the Legions of Honour. A saving
of 22,500 f. had been effected in the budget of the de-
partment of justice. That of public worship showed
an increase of 136,4001., caused principally by the
creation of fresh chapels of ease, and the salaries to
Protestant clergymen. The budget of foreign affairs
presented an increase of 144,1001., of which 30,000 f.
was devoted to bring up to 200,000 f. the credit for
extraordinary missions. The credits demanded by
the Minister of Public Instruction exceeded those of
1844 by 205,4001., 91,000 f. of which were provided
for in the budget of receipts ; the surplus was in-
tended for the creation of two inspectors-general,
the establishment of new professorships, the crea-
tion of two new royal colleges, and the increase of
the rent of the building occupied by the Royal Aca-
demy of Medicine. The department of the Interior
gave a decrease of 300,0001. on the allowance of
foreign refugees but an addition of 50,000 E for the
