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 hare
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.
Solomms as to their excellence, and having found so
much comfort and advantage from their use, far prefer-
able to every other kind of glasses. 13, Norfolk-street,
Park-lane.—The Hon. George Cavendish, to Messrs. S.
and B. Solomons, 39, Albemarle-street, Piccadilly, op-
posite the York Hotel. Gentlemen, I approve very much
of the Spectacles I purchased from you ; I have made
use of glasses for many years, and never met with any
to enable me to see equal to yours, and with less incon-
venience to my eyes. Yours obediently, G. Cavendish

COACH V. RAILWAY.—As the Engineer coach,
which connects with the mail-train at Lancaster, and travels
northward from that town, was descending a declivity about
one mile on this side of Milnthorpe, on Tuesday evening last,
one of the leaders fell, causing immediately the fall of each of
the other horses. The coach was thus suddenly
stopped, and
several of the passengers, of whom there were many on the
coach at the time, were precipitated to the ground. Fortu-
nately no serious injury was received by any of the passen-
gers, although the horses suffered severely.. Mr. P. Barker,
coal-merchant, of this town, was among the passengers, but
was only slightly injured.—Preston Guardian. On Friday
last, while Mr. Mossley's omnibus was on its way from Mac-
clesfield to Leek, and about half a mile from the latter place,
the horses proceeding at a rapid pace down the
hill, the
vehicle was violently thrown against the rock or wall, in
turning the curve about the middle of the hill. The passen_
gets were thrown off and out, and several very seriously in-
jured; the omnibus was overthrown, and from the force of
the concussion was found several yards from the wall, on the
other side of the road. There were three outside and two in-
side
passengers. The driver is stated to have been intosi-
cated at the time.

IRON ;AND COAL IN AUSTRALIA.—Iron ores seem
to he so plentiful in Western Australia as to have attracted
the notice of the settlers in a variety of places, and to have
drawn out speculative inquiries as to the possibility of work-
ing the mines and subjecting the mineral to the manu-
facturing process by the agency of wood fuel. The Govern-
ment, it is said, have offered a reward of 2,500 acres of
land to any. one who shall discover coal ; but the more
urgent operations of the settlers have hitherto prevented any
attempt being made. We readily admit the importance of
such a discovery as that of coal, and could wish that the go-
Vernment of this-province were empowered' as well as inclined
to encourage the finding. so valuable an addition to our
available resources ; but,-m our opinion (whilst we have such
stores of forest Wood),-it is not indispensable to the produc-
tion of good iron from oar own rich mineral.—Australian
Journal.
