CPECTACLES.-My attention mas Deen called to
~ an article in the public papers and circulated in
handbs about this city, called Peroca Spectacles,
said to be constructed in accordance with the phi
losophy of nature, the form of Concavo-C Convex
Ellipss What is meant by the philosophy of nature
may be hard to tell but certainly they atvarance
from the laws or principles Of Optics, certainly
Epss converge the rays of light to perfect TO
Gus. They are said not to be the French meniscus
or Woaston's periscopic Zone and the same con-
struction of glasses.) The meniscus lens is truly
ground surface concave side; the other side,
possessing greater degree OF sphericty consequent
y becomes magnfying 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 inpe-
feet visions than common spectaces, because they in
crease both the alteration of figure and of color but
they may be of use in 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,
Tin its natural state) every part has the very form
and office which the laws OF optics require for the most
perfect vision of object Is it not preposterous to
apply piece of bent concave or convex glass with
out true form figure to its assistance! On the con-
trary it not reasonable to conclude that their con-
tinued use would destroy the eye entirely7 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 decayng
natural visions of the human eye. r. PATTEN.

his vote upon an appeal taken yesterday by Mr.
Adams from the decision of the Chair against the
reception Of a memorial praying for several OBJ
jects connected with the abolition of slavery, and
for negotiations between this Government and
Hayt. Mr.. G. said he had voted under misap-
prehension to sustain the decision of the Chair.
Mr.. HOPKINS, of Va, objected to the change.
4 Mr.. CARROLL said that he should then con-
tent himself with the statement that he should
have voted differently if he had understood the
question.
The States and Territories were then called
for petitions, all of which were read and referred

BOUNTY LAND WARRANTS.

ing for publication Of the names of such persons
as were entitled to bounty lands, and also of such
as have received warrants, but have not taken out
patents for the same.
Mr.. CAVE JOHNSON opposed it's adoption
with much vehemence, as opening door for spec
ulators and harpies the rightful claimants would
not reap the benefit of the publication, butt would
furnish information for others to the country
and buy up the claims at one-half or one fourth
their value. Mr.. j stated that many of these
claims had been twice paid
Several gentlemen advocated the resolution,
insisting that whatever the consequence, the in
formation sought ought to be given.
The resolution, after being amended SO as to
include the publication of list Of revolutionary
claimants for arrearages of pensions, &C., was
adopted.

Some one proposed to amend by asking, also,
what duty this squadron had performed.
Mr.. HALE addressed the House briefly upon
his resolution, and said his object was retrench-
ment. Me
Mr.. CT. INGERSOLL followed, and said that
retrenchment never could be comprised by build
ing up this year and tearing down the next One
of the first things to be done was to commence at
