CPECTACLES- My attention mas oeen called to
- an article in the public papers and circulated ia
handbills about this city, called PerifOcal Spectacles
said to be constructed in accordance with the phi
losophy Of nature, IN the form Of ConcavoC Convex
Ellipsis What is meant by the philosophy Of nature
may be hard to tell but certainly they are at variance
from the laws or principles Of Optics, certainly no
Epsis can converge the rays of light to perfect TO-
Gus. They are said not to be the French meniscus
or Wollaston's periscopc Zone and the same con
struction Of gasses.) The meniscus lens is truly
ground surface concave one side the other side,
possessing greater degree of sphercity, consequent
y becomes magnifying glass. This species Of glass
will converge the rays of light the same as double
convex lens The application Of this form Of lenses
in the shape Of Spectacles, gives the eye greater
field Of vision.
The celebrated DR.. Brewster, in speaking Of these
Spectacles says that they give decidedly per-
feet visions than common spectaces because they in
both the alteration of figure and Of color but
they may be Of use in a crowded city in warning us
of the oblique approach Of objects. Now, as spec
tacles are intended to assist nature, and the Eye,
the most perfect masterpiece of Divine Mechanism,
lin its natural state) every part has the very form
and ocewhch the laws of optics require for the most
perfect vision Of object Is it not preposerous to
apply piece Of bent concavc or convex glass with
out true form figure to its assistance! On the
trary is it not reasonable to conclude that their
tinued use would destroy the eye entire1y' Specta
cles are probably the most ancient Of all optical in
strumens and yet has undergone the least change of
any. The subject has been well considered by Opti-
clans throughout all Europe for ages and the general
conviction is that truly ground concave or convex
lens is the most suitable for assisting decaying un
natural visions of the human eye. r. PATTEN. &
The subscribers have for sale at their manufactory
on Pennsylvania avenue, south side, between 10th
and llth Streets general assortment Of the best Of
Spectacles, with truly ground glasses. Glasses Of

duced bill to reduce and graduate the price of
public lands in favor Of settlers and cultivators
Mr.. STEWART, of Penn, brought forward
bill for the transfer of Government stock in the
Chesapeake and Ohio Canal Company to the
State Of Maryland and the cities Of the District
Mr. S. moved it's reference to the Committee Of
The Whole on the State Of the Union, (which
would have facilitated its passage,) but
Mr.. CAVE JOHNSON moved its reference
to the Committee on Roads and Canals; which
motion prevailed.
FLORIDA DELEGATE
Mr.. j. r. INGERSOLL presented memo
rial from citizens Of the Territory Of Florida,
declaring Mr.. David Levy an alien, and there
fore not entitled to his seat; he moved its refer
ence to the Committee Oh Elections.
Mr.. LEVY called for the reading of the me-
moral, which was perfectly respectful in its
tone and language. Mr.. L., however, declared
the memorialists to be actuated by personal ma
Lightly.
Mr.. r.INGERSOLL said the memorial had been
handed to him by gentlemen from Florida, and
he had too much respect for the right of petition
to withhold it, especially upon question OF such
Mr.. A. v. BROWN said the question was a
judicial one, and the House had, last session,
acted upon it by retaining the member in his
seat
Mr.. LEVY thought the question raised was
entirely Of legal character, and that the Judi
ciary Committee should decide whether or not
he was an alien.
Mr.. DAVIS remarked that the Committee on
Elections had no questions before them not partly
judicial in their character. All the members on
this committee were Lawyers. The party to
which the delegate from Florida belonged had
six Of the nine members on this committee
surely he ought to be willing to commit his in
terests to their hands.
Mr.. HOUSTON, of Ala, spoke at some length
against the memorial, and moved to lay it on
the table, which motion prevailed A sum-
mary process of despatching grave question.
Mr. LEVY then offered resolution to refer
the question of his alienage to the Judiciary
Committee; but objections were made, and the
resolution not received.
