SIGHT AND HEARING TESTIMONIALS.
39, ALBEMARLE- STREET, PICCADILLY. General
Browne Clayton feels desirous to express the comfort
and advantage he has derived at his advanced age of 70
years, and after two years' trial, from the use of Messrs.
S. and B. Solomons newly invented Spectacles. Their
valuable inventions fully merit the patronage they have
received. Address, Adlington-hall, Lancashire.
Major-General Sir Howard Elphinstone begs to say that
the Spectacles he has now had some time in use, have
fully redeemed the assurance of the Messrs. S. and B.
Solcmons as to their excellence, and having found so
much comfort and advantage from their use, far prefer-

of the Spectacles I purchased from you ; I have made
use of glasses for many years, and never met with any

venience to my eyes. Yours obediently, G. Cavendish,

FATAL EFFECTS OF INTEMPERANCE.-011 Wed-
nesday evening Mr. Higgs held an inquest at the Gold-
smiths' Arms, Bedfordbury, on the body of Mary
Mullins, aged seventy-three. It appeared from the
evidence that on Wednesday last the deceased, who re-
sided in Angel-court, Long-acre, was found by her son
in a state of intoxication at a public-house in Long-acre.
He entreated her to go home, but she refused. Being
in an almost insensible state, he took her up in his arms
for the purpose of carrying her to her. residence. On
arriving at the corner of Rose-street deceased slipped
from his arms and fell heavily on the pavement. He
again took her up, and on arriving home he discovered
blood on her face, and she appeared wholly unconscious.
He became alarmed, and went for Mr. Morgan, a sur-
geon, but who did not attend. She was subsequently
removed to Charing-cross Hospital, where she died on
Saturday last. Mr. Burrows, the house-surgeon, said
deceased was labouring under the effect of stupor from
liquor. She had a cut across the forehead, and three of
her ribs were broken. It was his opinion that injury to
the pleura, caused by the broken ribs, produced death.
Verdict- ." Accidental death."
EXCESSIV E INTOXICATION.—On Tuesday afternoon
an inquest was held at the Nag's Head Tavern., Postern-
row, Tower-hill, before William Walton, Esq., Coroner
for her Majesty's Liberties of the Tower, on the body of
Mary Finnegan, aged fifty years, whose death had been
occasioned by excessive intoxication. From the evidence
it appeared that the deceased had been for many years
addicted to intoxication. She used to keep a stall for the
sale of trifling articles in Rag-fair, opposite to the Rising
Sun gin shop. She was in one continued state of intoxi-
cation from Saturday night until Monday afternoon,
when she sat on a form at be Rising Sun. There she
remained apparently asleep until nearly half-past six in
the evening, and on the bar-woman attempting to arouse
her, she was found to be in a dying state. A medical
man was sent fcr, but on his arrival she was quite dead.
Neither the Coroner nor the jurors asked a single ques-
tion as to the quantity of spirits supplied to the deceased
at the Rising Sun, nor did they ask why she had been
allowed to remain there for so many hours. A verdict
that the deceased had died from excessive drinking was
returned.

TORY ITIMIDATION AND TRICKERY.—A NEW
MovE.—Vire were waited upon by a
party the other day, who
made a statement to the fillowing effect :—That a collector
of highway rates, in a neighbouring township, called
upon an aged man, who, at the last election, voted for
Lord )lorpeth and Lord Milton, to demand his rate. The
elector complained of the injustice of the charge, when
the collector remarked significantly " You should have
minded who you voted for at the last election ;" thus
holding out a threat for his independent vote, or else an in-
ducement for !h,l adoption of a different line of conduct at a
future election. Such conduct deserves reprobation. The
man, who was thus tampered with, will substantiate the
statement, and will communicate the name of the tool of the
Tory party who thus attempted to pervert his official in-
_ .
guence to party purposes,—York Courant.
