LONDON OPHTHALMIC INFIRMARY, MOORFIELDS.
AT a. MEETING of the COMMITTEE, on the
6th of Nov. 1826, RALPH PRICE, Esq. in the Chair,
Five Numbers of the Weekly Publication called the LANCET,
dated the 7th, 14th, 21st, and 28th October last, and 4th inst.,
and the TIMES Newspaper of the 28th October, were laid before
the Meeting; the former containing FALSE STATEMENTS
and OFFENSIVE REFLECTIONS npen the MEMBERS of
this COMMITTEE, in their official capacities, but in a particular
manner calculated to insult the memory of the late Mr. SAUN-
DERS, and wound the feelings of Dr. FARRE and Mr.
BATTLEY ; and the latter echoing similar CALUMNIES in
the form of a LETTER, directed to the EDITOR of the TIMES,
and signed "A GOVERNOR"—When it was resolved—That the
freedom of the Press hail been violated, by becoming, in the in.
stances referred to, an instrument of gross malignity and abuse of
the foulest injustice towards two of the earliest and most tried sup-
porters of this Charity. That this Meeting experiences the greatest
satisfaction in again bearing testimony to the high value of Dr.
rarre's or Mr. Battley's undeviating and disinterested exertions
during a period of twenty-two years, which in conjunction with
their feral pecuniary subscriptions, have largely contributed to
the rite and establishment of this charity. That these resolutions,
Signed by the Chairman, be inserted in four of the Morning and
two of the Evening Papers. RALPH PRICE, Chairman.

This Day was published, uniform with the Italian Novelists, in
four vole. post tivo. price 38s.
THE GERMAN NOVELISTS : Tales select-
ed from ancient and- niodern Authors in that language,
from the earliest period to the close of the Eighteenth century ;
with critical and biographical 'notices.
1 By THOMAS ROSCOE, Esq.
"" The first volume of this very interesting work is occupied by
the ancient Legends of Germany, among which will he found the
Veritable Historic of the renowned Dr. Faustus.' The second
contains a great diversity of popular local traditions, collected and
narrated by Otruar, Gottachalck, Eberhardt, Busching, the bro-
. there Grimm, Lothar, and La Motte Fougii4 ; furnishing abun-
dant food for the wonder and the delight of the reader. The
third, presents us with specimens of the Tales of Muslims and
' . ; including, among those of the latter great writer, his
Story of c The Apparitionist !' The fourth volume contains
. selections from the National Novels of Tieck, Langbein, and En-
gel, chiefly characteristic of modern manners and society in Ger-
- many. - Mr. Roscoe has accomplished his interesting, but labo-
rious task, with great credit to his own skill and research ; and
has produced one of the most valuable books to be found in the
, whole circle of fiction."—Morning Chronicle.

ATENT HARPS.—SCIMIESO and Co.,
in returning thanks for the extensive patronage with which
they have been honoured, are happy to inform the Nobility,
Gentry, and Musical World in general, that they have just ob-
tained his Majesty's Royal Letters Patent for a new and brilliant
IMPROVEMENT on the HARP. It has keen ever a subject
of complaint, and the Makers' attention strongly directed to re-
, move, these unpleasing, jars to which Harps have always been
found subject—a desideratum, however, till now, unaccomplish•
Schwieso and Co.'s Patent will be found effectually to
remedy this defect, giving a fullness and richness of tone to the
Instrument hitherto unknown, as well also as facilitating very
considerably the movement of the Pedals. They will be happy
to give proof of this most interesting discovery to any Lady or
'Gentleman who will honour them with a call, at their Establish-
' . mint, 263, Regent-street, where an extensive assortment of
elegant and brilliant-toned Harps and Piano-fortes is constantly

EUROPEAN LIFE INSURANCE and AN-
NUITY OFFICE, 10, Chatham-place, Blackfriars,
London.—This Company is formed on principles combining
every degree of security with advantages superior to any pre-
viously offered to the Public. It consists of a number of Pro-
„Fitton, who are required to assure on their own livee, or on
those of approved nominees, sums proportionate to their respec •
tivir shares, on every transfer of which a new insurance is re-
'll`3l, 1114 t?, be effected. This system, by the perpetual renovation
'l/131icies, secures the stability and growing prosperity of the
Company, and is productive of great benefit to the assured, who
Parcipue in the profits arising front this regulation, without be-
ag relPOnSible for the engagements of the Company, which are
secured by a large subscribed capital.
In the year 1819, when the European Company was formed,
the Directors caused rates of insurance to be calculated from the
amalgamated life tables of all Europe, which produced results
• lower than the rates of any Company then established, and which
still be found lower than any of the tables of Companies more
700414 formed, which admit the insured to a participation in the
profits: and this difference is so considerable as to be in the na-
ture of an annual bonus to the assured.
The affairs of the Company are managed by a Board of Twelve
bieeciors, which sit every Wednesday throughout the year, at
the Company's Offices No. 10, Chatham-place, Dim...l(l'64ra.
rreepectuaes may be had at the Office, or of any of the Pro-
prietors.

MOST AFPLICTMO ACCIDENi
last 'Thursday
, Rellepark, the residence of S. Barry, Esq. in the vicinity
lif turrisolcane, County Limerick, heretofore the seat of bappi_ nese and peace, was in a few moments transformed into a seen. of
'mourning and desolation. His two sons were traversing an or
Chard adjoining the house, the elder carrying a loaded gun on
.his shoulder, and followed, within, two yards, by his yoenger
brother, a very fine boy, of 12 years. The gun was heavily
charged with shot, which exploded unexpectedly, and the con-
!cnte lodged in the head of this amiable youth, who dropped dead
Instantaneously. It would he impossible to describe, but the
b!'cader will be left to imagine, the agouised feelings of the elder
other, on turning round and seeing, the dreadful spectacle be-
N him ! If any thing could add to the peculiarly distreesing
"cumatawes consequent upon this Ltd disaster, it was the ex-
"traordinary and more than fraternal affection which subsisted be-
ten two of the most attached brothers, united in the fondest
tats
of nature and of love. To time and religion we must leave
f t4ilt of administering consolation to the feelings of a family,
I..ta Whose domestic circle unsparing death has torn, within the
,Ne!)f six short months, three children (two sisters and a bro-
'nu) !...bublin Morning Register.
