The prisoners, Miss Railton, Mr. Sheriff; and Mr. and
Mrs. Hildreth, were again brought before the coroner's
inquest on Thursday, but no further evidence of any im-
portance was adduced, and the inquest was again ad-
journed until Tuesday next.
On Friday the prisoners were placed at the bar of the
public office before Mr. Hill, Mr. Barker, Mr. Dehane,
and Mr. Briscoe, magistrates of the county.

WINDSOR, SUNDAY.—His Royal Highness Prince
Albert's Harriers had a most brilliant run yesterday.
The meet was at Mr. Nash's, at George-green, and after
two runs in that country. the hounds proceeded to a field
of Mr. Mason's, near Slough, where a fine hare was
found. She made away at a fast pace up to Farnham,
through two plantations up to East Barnham Park, ran

SIGZIT AND HEARING.-39, Albemarle street, Picca-
dilly. Newly-invented spectacles, telescopes, opera-
glasses, microscopes, &c. Patronised by Generals Sir
Edward Paget, Sir Evan Lloyd, Frederick Meister,
Clayton, Galway, Grosvenor, Morrison, Dyott, Robert-
son, and Mackenzie ; Major-Generals Sir H. Elphin-
stone, P. Fyers, 1). Macleod, Hamilton, and Wemysa ;
Lieut.-Generals Sir Henry Bonverie, Sir J. Macdonald,
Sir IL Barton, Sir T. Dallas, Lord John Hay ; Admirals
Sir George Cockburn, Sir George Munday, Sir G.
Martin, Sir James H. Whitshed, Sir D. Gold, and
Ross. By the use of these newly-invented spectacles,
imperfect vision becomes preserved and strengthened,
and very aged persons are enabled to employ their sight
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 ; also
newly-invented achromatic waistcoat-pocket telescopes
and opera glasses. Every kind of telescope of larger
size with increasing powers, for shooting, sea purposes,
and, upon stands, fur astronomical purposes, with the
same celebrated lenses, the powers are so great, and the
lenses so bright and brilliant, that minute objects at an
extraordinary distance are brought completely ander the
eye. Sportsmen, tourists, and sea-side visitors will
have a great treat. Their invisible voice conductor gives
immediate relief to old standing extreme eases of deaf-
ness. 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, Albemarle-
street, Piccadilly, opposite the York Hotel.

BETTER TO BE BORN FORTUNATE TITAN RICH."
It is currently reported at Sleaford, and we believe cor-
rectly so, that a well-known millwright (a working man)
of that place, by a recent decision in the High Court of
Chancery, immediately comes into the possession of a
' large estate near London of the annual value of 13,0001,
as well as arrears of rent for the same for the last
twenty years, amounting, of course, to the sum of
260,000/.—Lincolnshire Chronicle.
