"We regard the work before ns, the ' Silent Friend,' as a work
embracing most clear and practical views of a series of complaints
hitherto little understood, and passed over by a majority of the me-
dical profession, for what reason we are at a lose to know. We must
however confess that a perusal of this work has left Bach a favourable
impression on our minds, that we not only recommend, bet cordially
wish every one who is the victim of past folly, or suffering from indis-
cretion, to profit by the advice contained in its pages."—Age std Argus.
" The authors of the ' Silent Friend' seem to be thoroughly con-
versant with the treatment of a class of complaints, which are. we
fear, too prevalent in the present day. The perspicuous style in
which this book is written, and the valuable hints it conveys to those
who are apprehensive of entering the marriage state, cannot fail to
recommend to it a careibl paresal."—Era.

imperfect vision becomes preserved and strengthened,
and very aged persons are enabled to employ their sight
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 ; also
newly-invented achromatic waistcoat-pocket telescopes
and opera glasses. Every kind of telescope of larger.
size with increasing powers, for shooting, sea purposes,
and, upon stands, for astronomical purposes, with the
same celebrated lenses, the powers are so great, and the
lenses so bright and brilliant, that minute objects at an
extraordinary distance are brought completely under the
eye. Sportsmen, tourists, and sea-side visitors will
have a great treat. Their invisible voice conductor gives
immediate relief to old standing extreme eases 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 3G, Altvemaxle-

M. C. de Koudriaffskey, Attache to the Russian
Legation, arrived in town late on Thursday night, from St.
Petersburgh, charged with important dispatches from his
Imperial Majesty to his Excellency Baron Brunnow. We
learn that Ti!. de Koudriaffskey left St. Petersburgh on the
26th ult., thus performing the distance between London and
the great northern metropolis in the remarkably short period
of eight days; a feat, considering the severity of the season
and consequent dangerous state of the roads, altogether un-
paralleled in the history of even modern travelling. At the
period of M. de Koudiaffskey's departure the Imperial family
were in excellent health, though still suffering severely
from the heavy domestic calamities which have recently be-
fallen them.
