" We, the undersigned, have been fwr some time making
use of Messrs. Solomons' newly-invented Spectacle Lenses ;
the astonishing relief they afford to imperfect vision gives
them the deeded preference to every other kind of Lens
—the clearness of the transparency brings every object very
distinct, and enables individuals to view the most minute par

THE ILLUSTRATED LONDON NEWS.
On SATURDAY, the 14th of May, will be published,
No. 1, of a New Weekly Newspaper, entitled the ILLUSTRA-
TED LOIN DON NEWS, price 6d. stamped, containing 30
engravings every week, from designs by eminent Artists, being
pictorial representations f the most interesting events of the
day, in addition to 48 columns of news. The object of this
publication is not merely to register the current events of in-
terest at home, to give lengthened details of occurrences abrcad,
but-to heighten the one and make clear the other by the in-
troduction of [ietorial representations of the scenes described.
Calling in the aid of pencil to depict that which can only be
but partially accomplished by the pen, we are but following the
text of a le,rned writer, who has said that " we can convey to
the mind by means of a picture those circumstances of relative
situation, and peculiar interest, that no written description could
ever achieve, but which the pencil must at all times materially
enhance." The war in Affghinistan, the sad defeats and suf-
ferings of the British Army, and we hope its also glorious tri-
umphs, will open a wide field for pictorial representation, and
our artists will not fail in, their task. Foreign circumstances,
however, are but a slight feature in our gallery—the realities of
London life, the physiognomy of its police courts, its theatres,
exhibitions, public amusements, its out-door society, its daily in-
creasing public buildings, its works of art—all that has the charm
of novelty will be brought before the reader in a pictured form,
anti will give to the country resident that exact impression of
London progress which no other Journal, by description alone
can convey. Correspondences have been opened in each of
our provincial towns to insure a quick transit of illustrations
of all matters of interest. Racing and sporting scenes, rowing
and sailing matches, military reviews, public festivals, cattle
shows, and other agricultural assemblies, will be reported with
the pencil as well as by the pen ; while, for the particular en-
tertainment of our fair countrywomen, engravings of the
fashions, gardening, fancy needlework, sketches of public balls
and concerts, will be from time to time provided. A vigorous
tone will be adopted in politics, freed at the same time from all
party views. Arrangements are made for giving with more
than usual effect the fullest and latest reports of the Parlia-
mentary debates, public meetings, police intelligence, theatrical
information, &c. Critical reviews will be given of all British
and Foreign literary publications of sterling interest. The
latest accounts of markets, &c., with the fullest commercial
information, arid all the usual contents. Tile illustrations are
entirely confided to Messrs. Vizetelly and Co.. and will be en-
graved under their superintendence, to insure the public against
anything of an inferior character being introduced into the
columns of this newspaper.

out the kingdom. Office, 320, Strand, London, where adver-

A DEAR SALUTE.—A son of Asculapins, located
near Wakefield, noted for his attachment to the fair sex, was
waited upon the other morning by a lady, who bitterly com-
plained of a tooth which gave her great pain. The beauty of
the fair patient made no small impression on the doctor's heart,
and he flattered himself that at the least lie might steal a kiss
with impunity. Accordingly, when the tooth was extracted,
unable any longer to restrain the ardour of his passion, he
wound his arm round the fair one's neck and gave her a twang-
ing salute. It would appear that she did not relish this excess
of gallantry, for she instantly proceeded against him for an
assault, and the Lsealapian I it i to pay damages 154-- j,eect.!

SPORTING.
(From the Morning Post.)
Several years have elapsed since my first visit to the
old-fashioned race-course at Chester. Times are
sadly changed; we are now compelled to perform the
journey in eight hours instead of four and-twenty,
and to this horrible improvement in travelling, the
superiority of Dee salmon and Cheshire cheese, must we
attribute the vast increase in the number of gentry,
tradesmen, urchins, and ragamuffins congregated in the
hollows, and crowding the heights in and about the
city. With every disposition to afford accommodation
on the part of the inhabitants of this densely populated
place, the majority of the houses being divided into
compartments—a foreign custom—l yet must tell you
that there were not a few who considered a sofa better
than no bed, and many more who would have preferred
this same soft to the hard boards, the dining-room
table on this occasion the canopy. The weather, which
had been all that could be desired (to break down
every horse in training), suddenly changed on the
morning of the race, and one unceasing shower of
rain lasted from twelve o'clock until dark, to the de-
struction of all the new bonnets and petticoats of the
multitude of females here abounding.
The race for the Cup or Plate—value to the
winner, his own stake included, .I,o6ol.—came off
about four o'clock. (For the Produce Stake Auck-
land did not think proper to show, and there,
was only a small sweepstakes besides). Twenty-and-
one started—l divide the one .from the rest that
I may not mint to SpOak of the absurdity of anybody
bringing an to the post that was '(I am not
speaking ironically) beat Three quarters of a mile from
home, as if the field was not sufficiently large hi so
narrow a course without the addition of . this hack,
called Nancy Dawson. Previous to 'the start, the
three feather weight jockeys—weights respectively -
4st. 41b., 4st., and 3st. 121 b.—created a general peal
of laughter.. The least of the pigmies, on proof print,
took such a preparatory gallop as astonished the na-
tives, and Tommy Lye was heard to remark than it
was lucky that was not the start, or Joeko surely
would never have been caught ; the boy, how-
ever, guided his steed, and pulled up at the end
of half a mile, to the perfect satisfaction of his
noble master. In the actual start, and there was
but one false one, these same little boys and their
Steeds lost about fifty yards, and taking a wide sweep
at the first corner, were here double that distance be-
hind the leadingpair, Marshai Soult and Rory O'More,
the former making desperate running. Vulcan got off
badly, and was shut out more than once, when try-
ing to clear himself from the. crowd and mud now
flying in all directions. Alice Hawthorn passed the
leading horSes at a terrific pace, when opposite the
Stand, in the first. round, and here the race was
over; the boy Bumby rode to orders, now took a
commanding lead of three lengths, and it was
quite evident nothing in the race had a chance
of coming up with him. But although it is my
conviction that no horse in the race could in any way
have beat the winner at the weights, my opinion
is equally firm, that had Marshal Soult not fallen, the
coming. in of the several, that were obliged to pull
round him, would have been materially altered. Rory
O'More and Vulcan were immediately behind him,
and had a narrow escape. The most conflicting opi-
nions ever heard were prevalent after the race_ ; some
said that Soult was beat when he ran against the post;
others that he was pulling double. Some said that
Soult and the mare would have run together, and that
Lanercost would then have won. Some said that
Tripoli would have been sure to win with a fair
start. Some said Rory O'More would have won
had he not nearly tumbled over Soult. Some said
Vulcan would have won had he not been three

times disappointed in the race. Some said that
Jolly Tar would have won had he not been par-
taking of the hospitality of the liberal owner of Hoo-
ton, Sir Massey Stanley. Two facts are indisputable
—namely, that Alice Hawthorn did win, and that
nearly every bookmaker's face after the race was as
long as the mare's back : the double double—a term
we ofter hear, but do not understand—was said to
have been practised with a success unprecedented in
the annals of double doubles. The performance of
Lanercost is one of the most extraordinary on record,
and almost proves that a good horse may give a
bad one any weight in the world. The course
was excessively. slippery, and many of the horses
were roughed in consequence, a most wise pre-
caution. The boy Francis, who rode Soult, is in the
habit of bolting for the inside place at each turn, and
came so directly on to the post, that it is a mercy he
was not killed : the horse was stunned, and could not
be got up for near ten minutes. I question if he will
show .again this season. The boy was walking about
in the evening, very little the worse for his somer -
set. The betting on this race has been very bad for
the bookmakers : the four favourities at starting were
the four horses in the betting, and daily backed since
Christmas ; and nine of the twenty and one that
started were scarcely backed for a ten-pound note. A
sum of money was lost on the race (fortunately by
gentlemen who can very well afford to pay) that
seldom changes hands, save at Epson, Goodwood,
or Doncaster. Ask me not who has won it, for I
cannot tell you. The settling for all this was a con-
fused kind of business : it is rather odd, but people
always choose the most inconvenient place possible
for this ceremony as well as for the formation of
a ring . at Newmarket it is always at some corner
where the wind and dust are playing at battledore and
shuttlecock. At Epsom, on the side of a steep hill ;
and here at the entrance to the Royal Hotel, opposite
a general coach-office, and in a direct thoroughfare,
a regular game of pitch and hustle.
A great deal of betting on the Derby took place
between acts, which pour reporter published yester-
day ; after which, and a general movement to the
course, came the racing. Nine started for the Dee
Stakes, value 1,1251. William de Fortibus made all

the running, and was beat ahead by a good-looking
country horse, Combermere ; and I think the opinion
1 expressed on Monday that the Warwick form was
not contemptible will be verified as the season ad-
vances. Nothing was near the first two. Lord West-
minster's filly, Maria Day, bought of Mr. Osborne,
won the two-year old stakes as she pleased, a half-
mile race ; she had a good start, and was never
headed. She is in the Oaks next year. The second
horse, Newcourt, iS in the Derby. Anything may
win a half-mile race over such a course as that at
Chester. JUDEX.

FRIGHTFUL .ACCIDENT.—On Tuesday evening on
one of the last trains quitting Nester, the number of inside
places was found too few to accommodate all the persons apply-
ing for tickets on the line. Several, in consequence, mounted
the top. On the ottside of one of the carriages was a party of
young men, one of whom in some manner elevated himself, so
that his bead came in contact with one of the bridges before he
could perceive the danger, and in an instant his skull was
dashed to pieces, and his blood was spattered on his fellow-
passengers. The deceased was a solicitor of the name of This-
ticton, in practice in this town, and was, we are credibly in-
formed, perfectly sober at the time. —Liverpool Standard.

SUDDEN DEATH IN A CA 11.—On Friday morning,
shortly before nine o'clock, the attention of police-constable
Edward Bettison, 112 V, was called to a crowd of persons which
were assembled round a cab then standing in Bond-street,
Vauxhall, near the turnpike, wherein was a female leaning in
one corner, and quite dead. The cab-driver then proceeded
with police-constable Bettison to the station-house of the L
division, in High-street, Lambeth, where he stated that at
about a quarter past eight o'clock he Was en

mistress stated that Elizabeth Carter had been ill for several
days, but added that she had not the least idea that she was so
near her end.
CHANGES IN THE JUDGES III( ITITs.—We state
with regret that the Judges decided on Thursday to separate
the county of York from the Northern Circuit, and to attach
it to the Midland Circuit. This is contrary to the strongly
expressed v i'hes of the Magistrates, and we believe, of the
inhabitants, of this county. We hear, however, that the Cir-
cuits will be so arranged as to allow the same Counsel to attend
both York and South Lancashire (Liverpoel) Assizes ;
and if
this be done, the principal objection to the new arrangement
will be removed. In addition, the Judges determined to take
Warwickshire from the Midland Circuit, and attach it to the
Oxford Circuit ; and to take Shropshire, Ilerefordshire, and
Alonmouthshire, from the Oxford Circuit, and attach them to
one of the Welsh circuits.—Leeds Mercury.
BRIsTor. SUGAR MARKET, FRIDAY, MAY 6.—
The wind bas at length changed, and arrivals are coming in
fast. The greater part of the two small cargoes recently re-
ceived have been sold at rather extravagant 'prices, but the
general expectation is that the buyers will now do better. In
London, prices are already rather easier, the sellers being much
more inclined to give way.— Bristol Mercury.

A horrible fratricide was perpetrated last week at
St. Just (Loire). Two brothers, named rholome, having
quarrelled, the elder of them, on the same day, entered a field
in which his brother was at work with his wife and two other
persons, and deliberately taking aim at him, at a distance of a
