DIiAWNESS.

TESTIMONIAL from John Sawyer, Esq., of Hay-
wood Lodge, Maidenhead, Berke, to Messrs. S. and B. Solo-
mon:, 39, Albemarle-street, Piccadilly. Gentlemen, having
been deaf for some time, I was induced, in the month of No-
vember, 1839, to make trial of your Invisible Voice Conductors,
and, although at my advanced age, at that time past my 77th
year, I had no bops of obtaining any relief, yet immediately I
applied them I could hear the general conversation, and my
hearing has become so much improved by their use, that I can
now bear acutely without their aid. I am, Gentlemen, your
most obedient servant, J. Sawyer. 22d June, 1542.—Fr0m
tke late Henry Cowper, Esq., of Tewen Waters, Hertz, to
Messrs, S. and B. Solomon' :—Gentlemen, having been deaf
for many years, I was induced to try your Invisible Voice
Conductors. They enable me to hear persons in Company,
and at a plate of worship most distinctly. The Spectacles and
Handglass which you have sent me are very excellent, and
suit my sight perfectly, tke transparency of which is so bril-
liant, that although I have passed my 86th year the 22d of
May last, yet they enable me to read, and by candle-light, witk
the greatest ease and comfort to myself. I return you my best
thanks, and remain your obedient servant, Henry Cowper.—

[ADVERTISEMENT.]—COUGHS, COLDS, ASTIIMAS,
AND SHORTNESS OFREATH, RADICALLY CURED EY
HOLLOWAY'S PILLS—For some time past it has been
known that hundreds of the most distressing cases of
Asthma, of many years' standing, have been completely
cured by Holloway's Pills. There is also no doubt but
that they are a sovereign remedy, when taken, for any
wheezing or shortness of the breath, even if of twenty
years' standing ; and as to coughs and colds, however
bad they may be, it need only be the work of a few
days to get entirely rid of them, by the means of this
astonishing medicine. Sold (also Holloway's Ointment)
at Professor Holloway's Establishment, 244, Strand
(where advice may be had gratis), and by almost all
respectable medicine vendors throughout the civilised
world.
THE BOY JONES IN GREECE—HIS VISIT TO TUE
PALACE OF KING °TECO. —The following is an extract
of a letter from an officer on board her Majesty's ship
Warspite, Smyrna, Dec. 23, 1844, to his friends in
England :—" The boy Jones, who belongs to this ship,
disappeared one night at Athens, and every one said he
was gone to call on King Otho. I believe that was his
intention, as he was found near the'palace, and brought
back very much disappointed, to think that he could not
pay his intended visit. He is a strange-looking fellow,
appears half asleep, and seldom speaks to any one. It
is the custom IO punish when a man deserts, but Jones
is put on the black list, and his grog stopped as long as
he remains in the ship."—Shipping Gazette.
THE FRENCH AT OTAHEITE.—The communication
of the King of the French was read at the meeting of
the Directors of the London Missionary Society last
night ; but the contents have not been allowed to tran-
spire, and we are informed that it will not be determined
whether the document shall be published until the next
fortnightly meeting. The inference drawn from the de-
termination not to publish is, that the reply of the King
of the French is unfavourable.

StIOOTING EXTRAmtnrNAßr.—Yesterday week, a
shooting match of a very surprising character took place
at Bardsey, near Wetherby. Mr. Waite, of Burley,
matched himself to shoot 100 pigeons in 100
minutes for a wager of 100 guineas ; to have
two traps and four double-barrelled guns, and fifteen
yards rise. Instead of occupying 100 minutes, the
match closed in favour of Mr. Waite in the short space of
48 minutes, being 52 minutes under the time. 125 birds
rose from the traps ; of those 193 fell within 60 yards,
the distance stipulated, 13 fell out of that distance, and
9 got away, missed, or slightly hurt. We understand
that soon after the match commenced, Mr. Waite offered
to kill 100 birds within 60 minutes. It is said that he
cleared by the match about 300/. He suffered some-
what severely from the great physical exertion required
in accomplishing this task and the recoil of the guns.—
Leeds Mercury.
WETMOCTII.—A meeting of the town council was
held a few days since, on the subject of the Wilts, So-
merset, and Weymouth Railways, and also of the rail-
ways from hence to Southampton, as the two Companies
intend to connect the same rails from Dorchester, and
make their terminus in Victoria Park, close to which
vessels can come, when it was unanimously agreed to
afford every assistance towards carrying the object into
effect. As the two projects have received the full ap-
probation of the Board of Trade, we hope, in the course
of a few months. to see both of them commenced.

REISHCCA AGAIN.—Late on Monday night, or
early on Tuesday morning last, a most outrageous attack
was made on the Vicarage house of Fishguard, the resi-
dence of the Rev. Henry Nathan, the curate, during his
absence from home. Providentially, Mrs. Nathan left
the house between the hours of nine and ten o'clock, P.m.,
otherwise death inevitably would have been the result,
the attack being so severe with stones of huge dimen-
sions. About seventy panes of glass were destroyed,
besides other damage. Strong suspicions fell on three
notorious characters, who were committed in the autumn
of 1843 for destroying the turnpike houses of the parish
of Fishguard. This enmity against the Rev. Henry
Nathan arises from the circumstance of his communica-
tions with the Secretary of State on the subject of the
Rebecca riots, the result of which has been the discon-
tinuance of any destruction of property, save in the pre-
sent instance.—C'arptarthen Journal.
The Archbishop of Canterbury had an interview
with Lord Stanley yesterday, at the Colonial-office.
