The arrival of Ratan in town yesterday, en route for
Epsom, coupled with a report that he is perfectly well,
completely restored him to favour ; 700 to 200 was
taken three times, and 10 to 3 at least to 1,000/.—this, too,
in addition to some heavy bets at the West-end on Wed-
nesday night ! The Ugly Buck was not less in de-
mand, 5 to 2 having been taken once in hundreds, and
9t04 to nearly 2,0001. ! The new favourite, Bay Mo-
mus, was backed freely at twelve to I ; Orlando, but to
no great amount, at 13 to 1 ; and- Mr. Ford's horses,
Singly and jointly, at a considerable improvement on the
last quotations. All sorts of prices were laid against
Leander, from 14 up to 20 to 1. We return him at the
latter figure, believing it to be his genuine price. Nothing
said about T'Auld Squire, Running Rein, or lonian.

WOOD PAVING.
The Commissioners of Sewers for the City of London
met at Guildhall on Tuesday last, to consider a motion
brought forward by Deputy Peacock—" That, in conse-
quence of the great expense and doubtful durability of
the wood pavement—it is the opinion of this Court, that
no more than what is now contracted for shall be laid
down for twelve months."

A discussion of considerable length took place upon
the subject, in which it was strongly argued by the
opponents of the wood pavement, that the timber paved
streets are inflicting enormous expense upon the inha-
bitants, and were giving infinitely more trouble than
the stone pavement, the noise of which was greatly
counterbalanced by the proportion in which it excelled

its rival.
It was contended by those who did not agree with the
objectors in the necessity of coming to such a resolu-
tion, that the Court ought not to be fettered as to their
future operations, and the previous question was carried
by a majority of s—the numbers being for the previous
question 19 ; for Mr. Peacock's motion 14.
It is quite evident that the opinion of the Commis-
sioners is undergoing a rapid change on the subject of
the wood pavemunt.

NEWLY-INVENTED SPECTACLES, OPERA GLASSES,
TELESCOPES, MICROSCOPES, &C.—Messrs. S. and
B. Solomons,- Opticians, 39, Albemarle-street, Pic-
cadilly, have succeeded in effecting a most scientific Im-
prOvement in Spectacle and Telescope Lenses, Le., of the
greatest transparent power. The extraordinary advan-
tage derived from this invention is that vision becomes
preserved and strengthened, and very aged persons 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 -
invented Achromatic Waistcoat-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, find 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
brought completely under the eyes. Sportsmen are,
Tourists, and Sea-side Visitors will, indeed, have a great
treat. Their invisible Voice Conductor gives immediate
relief to old-standing extreme cases of deafness. Caution
=Messrs. S. and B. Solomons, Opticians and Aurists,
are not iu 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, .Albemarle-street,
