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 have
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.
Solomons 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
Leixlip Castle, Ireland.—lmproved Achromatic Teles-
copes, Opera Glasses, Microscopes, &c., of the same kiad
of lenses, to surpass any ever yet invented.—The
Messrs. S. and B. Solomons' Invincible Operator Voice
Conductor, Sound Magnifiers for deaf persons, give im-
mediate relief to old standing extreme cases of deaf-
ness.—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.

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
coach at the time, were precipitated to the gr ooufentt Fort
Fortu-
nately no serious injury was received by
any
passen-
gers, although the horses suffered severely. Mr. P. Barker,
coal-merchant, of this town, was among
-a therpassengers, but
dian. On Friday
last, only slightly injured.—Prestonu
was on its way from Macy-
last, while Mr. Mossley's omnibus
clesfield to Leek, and about half a mile from the latter place,
the horses proceeding at a rapid
pace down
rock othe hill, the
vehicle was violently thrown against
turning the curve about the middle of the hill. The paass'enn-
gers 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 intoxi-
cated at the time.
IRON7AND COAL IN AUSTRALIA.—Iron ores seem
to be 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, in our opinion (whilst we have such
stores of forest wood), it is not indispensable to the produc-
tion of good iron from our own rich mineral.—Australian
Journal.
