THE LATE DERBY.

The trial between Colonel Peel and Mr. Wood is not likely
to come on before the end of the week at the soonest. The
only bets we heard yesterday were 200 to 100, and near the
close 250 to 100 on Orlando.

At Messrs. Tattersall's sale yesterday Priscilla Tomboy
fetched 250 guineas and Young Lochinvar 200 guineas.
At a meeting of the Jockey Club yesterday, adjourned
from Saturday, some highly important resolutions were passed
with reference to the recent transaction at Epsom and
Ascot. They will be made public in the course of the week.

NEWLY-INVENTED SPECTACLES, TELESCOPES,
OPERA GLASSES, MICROSCOPES, &C.—Messrs. S. and
B. Solomons, Opticians, 39, Albemarle-street, Picca-
dilly, have succeeded in effecting a most scientific im-
provement in Spectacle and Telescope Lenses, &c., of
the greatest transparent power. The extraordinary
advantage derived from this invention is that vision
becomes preserved and strengthened and very aged per:
sons are enabled to employ their sight either by day or
candle light 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
as the Spectacles now in Common use. Also newly-in-
vented Achromatic Waiscoat• pocket Telescopes and
Opera Glasses which are invaluable at the sea-side and
on the race-course, as well as at the theatre, &c.—Every
kind of Telescope for Shooting, Sea purposes, and upon
stand for astronomical observations with the celebrated
Lenses of the most clear transparent brilliancy ; the
powers are so great and the Lenses so bright and bril-
liant that minute objects at an extraordinary distance
are brought completely under the eyes.—Sportsmen,
Tourists, and sea-side visitors will indeed here have a
great treat. Their invisible Voice Conductor gives im-
mediate relief to old standing extreme cases of deafness.
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, Albe-
marle-street, Piccadilly, opposite the York Hotel.
ASTONISHING CURE OF A CONFIRMED LIVER
COMPLAINT BY HOLLOWAY'S PILLS!—Mrs. Mary Sand-
ford, residing in Leather-lane, Holborn, had been labour-
ing for five years under the effects of a diseased liver,
which produced indigestion, sick head-aches, dimness of
sight, lowness of spirits, irritability of temper, drowsi-
ness, occasional swelling of the body and legs, with
general debility. She attended the hospitals for about
three years, but only got worse, and recovery appeared
hopeless ; but yet, wonderful to relate, she was in two
months restored to perfect health by means of the above
extraordinary medicine ! Sold at Professor Holloway's
Establishment, 244, Strand (where advice may be had
gratis), and by almost almost all respectable medicine-
vendors throughout the civilised world.
DESTRUCTIVE FlRE.—This morning, shortly after
midnight, as constable Wilkins, 81 L, was perambulating his
beat he perceived flames issuing from the back part of the
extensive floor- cloth manufactory belonging to Mr. 11011 s,
situate in Kennington-lane. The building, which is chiefly
constructed of wood, is built in the form of a square, the
eastern side of which forms the frontage in Kennington-lane,
the north and south sides, workshops and storehouses, and on
the western side stood a line of lofty buildings used as drying
rooms, now a heap of ruins. The fire broke out in this part
of the works, owing, it is thought, to the firing of a flue.
With the rapidity of lightning the flames progressed, seizing
the suspended pieces of floor-cloth, and emitting a light
which was visible for many miles. Engines from the various
brigade stations and the West of England office were upon
the spot without delay, and a plentiful supply of water being
obtained the fire was stayed before one o'clock, the spirit
rooms being saved as well as the commodious building facing
the road. We were informed that Mr. Rolls is not insured.
