WRECK OF THE FRENCH BRIG EUGENIE, OF DUNKIRK.-It
appears that her ballast shifted, and she became so leaky that the
crew could not keep her clear, and they run her on shore at Brook,
at the back of the Isle of Wight. She had five feet water in the
hold when she struck the ground, which was at seven o'clock LAI.
on the 27th. They effected a landing, and most of the material
will be saved; but as it was blowing a gale right on the shore the
♦essel will become a wreck.

Capt. Russell, of the Queen steamer, which arrived at Southamp.
ton on the 26th, reports that when off Portland at eight A.N. he
saw a small sloop.rigged vessel, with square topsail, square sail,
mainsail, and jib set, running with the W.S.W. wind for the Chan-
nel ; within the Race and the Bill of Portland a sea broke over her,
she broached to, fell over on her broadside, and instantly sunk. The
steamer rounded to and got ready her boats, but the unfortunate
crew were never seen. After a short time the vessel was observed
bottom upwards ; the steamer went round her, but nothing but a
few floating spars could be seen. . .

Prince Albert has purchased the Woodhouse estate, which in.
eludes the Isle of Wight racecourse, and the whole of the land
from Osborne and Barton to King's Quay Creek, about 1,400
acres. Her Majesty and the Prince are expected down about the
Bth of May. The furniture at Osborne House was to have been
removed before the Ist; but application has been made to Lady
Isabella Blackford to allow it to remain till after the 10th of May,
her Majesty's furniture not having arrived. The Woodhouse es-
tate was the property of the Hon. W. H. A. A'Court Holmes,M.P.
for the Isle of Wight. It cannot be too generally known that this
gentleman has for some time discharged his gamekeepers, and de
dared the game on his extensive estates to be the property of the
tenants on whose crops they feed.

Newly-invented Spectacles, Telescopes, Opera
Glasses, Microscopes, &c. The artificial aid afforded to
the sight by Lenses, is one of the most valuable gifts de-
rived from science, and it is indeed of vital importance
that the adoption of Spectacles to imperfect vision should
be regulated on proper principles. Messrs. S. and B.
bolornons, 39, Albemarle-street, Piccadilly, directly op-
posite the York Hotel, having devoted their whole lives
to this branch of science, and their long extensive prac-
tice, have enabled them to invent Spectacle Lenses upon a
new construction, which have gained universal approba
tion. Immediately they are placed before imperfect
vision, that mist and dullness which appear before the
eyes is at once removed, every objeot becomes
c!ear and distinct, so that the most aged, imperfect
sight becomes bright and brilliant, and is brought to its
youthful, natural and original state. Achromatic Tele-
scopes, Opera Glasses, Microscopes, &c. &c., of the same
kind of Lenses to surpass any ever invented. Their
Invisible Voice Conductor Sound Magnifiers, for deaf
persons, is not the least perceptible nor more uncomfort-
able than having a piece of wool in its place ; they give
immediate relief to old standing extreme cases of deaf-
ness. Those valuable inventions have gained the un-
qualified approbation of above 400 of the principal mem-
bers of the medical profession. Caution.—Messrs. S.
and B. Solomons, opticians, 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, Albemarle-street, Piccadilly, opposite the
York Hotel.
Mas. SALMON.--We regret that this celebrated
vocalist is suffering from the extremest poverty. To those who re.
member how splendid were her talents but a few years since,
we feel assured that any further appeal to their sym-
pathies will be unnecessary than •the fact that she is at
the present moment in a state of almost hopeless misery.
A former sum of 1201. was raised by subscription, and
invested in an annuity of 12/., which is paid to her in weekly
instalments of four shillings and sevenpence halfpenny. And this
sum has been her sole means of dependence. Her Majesty, with
her usual benevolence, has transmitted a sum towards her relief—
