MARTIN'S SPECIMEN of LITHOGRAPHY, de signed to illustrate the capabilities of this useful Art, is just published, at 124, High Holborn, price fis. In allusion to the above highly-finished Specimen of the Lithogra phic Art, the following commendations have appeared in the under mentioned papers : '• Lninociaarne.—Lithography, or the art of producing numerous impressioms, from delineations, either made upon stone or transferred to its surface from paper, though entirely of modern invention, has, in a few years, attained a degree of perfection little contemplated by its inventor, Senefelder, an ingenious German, whose perseverance in ma turing the first crude suggestions of his mind, in defiance of an the ob stacles thrown in his way by poverty and want of encouragement, af fords one of the most striking examples on record, of the indefatigable exertions by which genius sometimes succeeds in emerging from ob scurity. Of the difficulties encountered by Senefelder, in bringing his invention before the public, some idea may be formed from the fact, that soon after his first imperfect experiments, he actually offered him self to serve in the army as a substitute for a friend, in order that he might apply the two hundred florins he expected to receive to the pur chase of she necessary apparatus ; and his disappointment was extreme on finding that his services were rejected, because he was not a native of Bavaria. Having, however, at length obtained the patronage and assistance which his talents merited, his invention became pretty generally known and appreciated, and he published a work, in which he gave a minute explanation of the art of Lithography, and of the various improvements which he had introduced, up to the period when he wrote his treatise.—This work was translated into English, and published by Mr. Ackermann, in 18111, since which time the art has been very successfully cultivated, both on the Continent and in England ; and its employment, instead of being limited to the imita tion of etchings, chalk drawings, autographs, &c. has been extended to every subject which has hitherto elicited the finest productions of the graver. These remarks have been suggested by a highly beau tiful specimen of Lithography, which has just issued from the press of Mr. R. Martin, of High !Holborn, and which, in the variety of subjects it exhibits, and the exquisite finish of the performance, cer tainly surpasses any Lithographic effort which had previously fallen under cur notice. It represents a number of framed pictures, frag ments of columns, and numerous other objects, very tastefully ar ranged, and allowing the artist an opportunity of showing the ap- ' pikability of Lithography to the production of every effect for which engraving is employed. In the specimen before us there are intro duced landscape scenery, portraits, architectural remains, oriental an tiquities, antient armour, fruits, foliage, and • variety of objects connected with anatomy, zoology,'the delineation of maps and plans, sculpture, &e ; the whole of which are executed, even to the mi nutest details, with a degree of d-licacy and beauty which the finest steel engraving could scarcely surpass. The examination of this specimen of the perfection to which the art et Lithography has been lth ought has afforded us much pi , and we are merely performing an act of justice in bearing testimony to its me rits, and in wishing the artist all the success to which his skill entitles him."—Morning Advertiser. LITIIIII:RAPHY.—It is said, with great truth, by Mr. Bsbbage, that the first discoverer of an abstract physical fact seldom receives any reward for his discovery, however important may be its results ; nor even often does he who is Ingenious enough first to apply the new fact to a useful practical purpose, receive from society his due share of reward. On the contrary, the philosopher, who, in his laboratory or study points out an abstract principle, has died often without his merit heiug known ; and not only so, but in general the first man who has the penetration or good fortune to perceive its practical importance, and to make the attempt to bring its utility into notice, has very often done so to the ruin of his own fortune. We could easily illustrate this remark, but cannot spare space at present. It has been suggested to in, by reflecting upon the history of Lithography. This art, it is well known, was invented a few years a g o, by a German of the name of Senefelder, who merely applied in practice a chemical fact, which bad been always universally known to all mankind, namely—that oil and water will not unite. We are ignorant whether Senefelder reaped, or is reaping, the fruits of his application ; but we perceive every day the importance of his discovery. Only a few weeks ago, we were favoured with a sight of a folio volume beautifully lithographed by the natives of Bombay, in the Persian character, under the instruction of an amiable and enlightened Officer In the East India Company's Service. Thus, the art of lithography, in some degree, supplies the use of typography. The constant application of this art in its more humble form, to extend the uses of caligraphy, is daily, hourly, be fore the eyes of the public ; while oo person of taste for the arts can be a stranger to the many beautiful specimens of this useful art, which have lately been produced by the artists of both France and England. All that which has yet been accomplished in this new art—and we have seen much to admire— is now far surpassed by an artist in this metropolis, who has proved that Lithography can produce an effect unequalled by any branch of engraving. A print has been published by Mr. ft. Martin, of 124, High Holborn, with a copy of which we have been favoured ; and as we think it a curiosity in the arts, we should not feel ourselves justified were we not to direct public attention to it. In a space of 10 Inches by 8, the artist has, with much ingenuity, in troduced specimens of almost all the kinds of delineation to which Litho graphy can be applied. The print contains a portrait, a whole length miniature, delineations of subjects in botany, anatomy, conchology, geography, armoury, statuary, caligraphy, hieroglyphics, machinery, landscapes, drapery, and innumerable objects which cannot be classed. 'the ex -cution of the whole is exquisitely minute and distinct. There Is a softness united with a minute clearness of line, which displays the beauties of steel sngraving, without its well-known faults ; and re minds us Irequemtly of some curious specimens we once saw of pen .ind ink drawing. On the whole, we do not think it possible for any lecies of the delineative arts to unite so many peculiar qualities.— When we first saw this specimen, we could not believe it to be Litho gr.phic ; and we took it to a friend—an artist of great taste and ability who was equally astonishes] with ourselves at the production. Had it nut been from this gentleman's opinion confirming our own, we iiNht nor, perhaps, have ventured to express ourselves so strongly ; but our mend, who is an adept in the art of Lithography himself, has .-,uretl us we cannot express to.. strongly the original merit of the artist ono h.ss produced it."- Star. •' Mr. It.

Martin, who, in a print of the dimensions of ten inches by eight, has given a collection of subjects illustrating sculpture, painting, architecture, fruit, flowers, armour, landscape. and portraits, woodland scenery, drapery, and a variety of other subjects, each preserving its own distinct character, so that it may be examined and criticised separately ; and at the same time, the grouping is su well arranged, that, if taken altogether. there does not appear to be the slighest confusion or interference of our sub ject with another. The execution is most admirable ; there is a soft ness and precision in it, which makes it resemble in appearance a fine copper-plate engraving. Amongst the subjects most deserving of no tice are the representation of an ancient tomb, the head of a column of the Corinthian order, a heap of armour, together with the cross bow, sword, &c. and an antique bust, with its ornamented pedestaL In short, this specimen of the Art of engraving on stone is of a de scription to do the greatest credit to the artist in whose labour it ori ginates."—Weekly Times.

In this difficulty, we consulted with artists, some of whom pronounced the highest and most no equivocal praise upon these pro ductions, if they are genuine, by declaring, that nothing short of see ing the operation performed with their own eyes, will convince theirs that these specimens have not been partly aided by steel or appat. 1 —World.

In a plate of very limited dimensions, the Artist has in traduced a sample of almost every description of engraving—architec tare, fruit, lowers, landscape, armour, music, portrait, topography, zoology, anatomy, are all mingled together, yet all represented and classed with a clearness of design, which totally banishes the appear ance of confusion. This tribute is due to she skill of the Artist in the arrangement of the subject. In the execution of it, we find, if pos , Bible. still more for admiration; the clearness, softness, and blended spirit of Mr. Martin's work is really astonishing, and serves to show to what an extent, beyond what we had conceived possible, this style of engraving may be carried, and we cannot but congratulate the ,ad mirers of the art on the prospect which is opened for its rapid progress I by the improvements here introduced into the operations of the litho ' graphic press."—Public Ledger.

Mr. TH VS/CELL, of the Cabinet-makers' Society, and one of the Corn 1 mittee which has so strenuously endeavoured to promote the interests ofi so great a body of men as the Trades' Societies, then rose and said, that the delegates would inform their respective bodies that they were to hold themselves in readiness to accompany the deputation with the address, as he was informed that his Majesty would be pleased to receive it before he left London for Brighton. He (Mr. Thurnell) was requested to state, that should his Majesty honour the City with his presence, there were a number of persona who had waited on him from various Societies, who had declared their inten tion, not only to form a line to receive their Sovereign on his entrance into the city, but take up the ground they held in the morning in a body of not less than 10,000, and accompany his Majesty to the palace, and should there be occasion for it would lay down their lives to a man in honour of their beloved King and his Consort. By so doing they would remove the stigma which some evil and maliciously dia pasons have thrown out against the Trades and Friendly societies r naig ridcandelous placards and anonymous letters. Mr. T. concluded by old that they were determined to show that they were loyal to a man; lily respected by the city authorities. He then sat down amid los& dams. It was agreed that copies of the address should be forwarded to the different Societies, and after thanks were voted to the Chairman and Committee for their indefatigable exertions, the meeting, which was nu merous and respectable, separated. COURT OF COMMON COUNCIL The Lord Mayor held a Court of Common Council on Tuesday, at Guildhall, in consequence of a requisition he had received, for the pur pose of considering the propriety of soliciting his Majesty to name a day when his Majesty will be graciously pleased to honour the Corpo. ration of the City of London with his Majesty's company to dinner, to gether will all the other branches of the Royal Family. The London Bridge Committee presented s Report for sealing some deeds, which was agreed to. TEE ALLEGED NEGLIGENCE OF THE ALDERHEX. When the notice of the Court was called to the petition which had been presented on a former day, recommending the adoption of some' measure to secure the proper attention of the Aldermen to the duties of the City Magistracy, the members expressed their sentiments upon the I subject in one general cheer. Mr. LEGGE then rose and expressed a hope that the Court of Alder men would themselves establish some rule by which their attention to their duties would be more effectually secured to the public ; that some fine would be inflicted by the Court upon any Member who should in. fringe the regulations that might be laid down. That course would' probably have the effect of inducing two out of the twenty-six to attend at Courts held within their jurisdiction whenever they were required. Although two Aldermen were all that were necessary together with the Lord Mayor, to form a Court for the performance of the most essential I business, yet there was great difficulty sometimes in getting even that limited number to make their appearance. The public sustained great annoyance and inconvenience in consequence of the frequent disap. pointments occasioned by the Members of that honourable Court.— (Hear, hear.) Mr. OLDHAM begged to be allowed to say that there were occasions on which the Aldermen were extremely regular in their at tendance, for instance, they were very punctual in attending to the royal entertainment Committee. (Laughter, and cries of hear.) Alderman WAITIIMAN said the Court would do right in leaving it to the Court of Aldermen to establish such regulations as they should ' think proper to adopt, to prevent any future inconvenience. On the whole the attendance of Aldermen was not much to be complained of considering the extent of the duties they had to perform. Alderman FAIEBROTHER said, that he had to offer as an excuse for Alderman Winchester's nonattendance, the duties which that gen tleman had to perform in Parliament. and he regretted to say that Al derman Copeland was confined by illness at Brighton. Mr. C. PIAISON did not wish invidiously to refet to an Honourable Alderman who had of late contrived to appropriate to him self so large a share of public attention, • but he did consider that what ever excuse other Aldermen might have for being absent from the Court, the gallant Col. Sir C. S. Hunter, ought at least to be in his place— (loud laughter)—for the Citizens of London had recently been taxed with the payment of 2,8001. for building hint a town residence, under pretence of its being the head-quarters of the London Militia. He ( Mr. Pearson) having seen one day the words, Quarters of the London Militia" written over the door. rang the bell, and inquired of the porter whether the London Militia were at home. The porter, however, not being acquainted widi any gentleman of that name, mid that he did not live there, hut that it aas the residence of Colonel Hunter. (Hear. Upon inquiry, it turned out that the job of the "City Militia Quarters ' cost the citizens of London upwards of 604)1. a year and when he (Mr. P.) asked Sir Claudius S'eplien Hunter what heditl to earn the 1001. a year, his share of " the job," " Why, I take care of the house," replied the gallant Colonel, "to be sure." ho that it appeared that the Alderman took care of the holm; and the house took care of the Alderman—(4(SAT, and loud laughter.) Mr. Pearson thought at least the avendance of the gallant Alderman ought to be expected by the Court; and as there were already two figures stationiuy in the Hall, Colonel Hunter ought to make a third, and for the purpose of making a Court he might be rendered useful, if not mnanieotal, and certainly less mischievous. Here the conversation ended. The LORD MAYOR laid before the Court the following letter he had received front Mr. D.:nitian, resigning his office of Common Sergeant, which was ordered to be entered : " MY DEAk 'LORD llavon.—As circumstances may prevent my attendance at the Common Council to-morrow, I beg permission to communicate to that Honourable Court my purpose of resigning the office of Common Sergeant.
