The mattes.otlact novelties which this journal contains, renders it quite a treasure to those who are in quest of real knowledge. The first article brings together almost all that has been written descriptive of Timbuctoo, by different travellers, ancient and modern. On the Cape of Good Hnee. that colony, which it appears to be the determination of Government to crush, we have some very amusing, and, we can add, correct descriptive notes from the pen of a Dr. Carmichael. The paper on the Pagoda of Tripati, affords a view of Indian priesteraft, which may, in some degree, reconcile the tythe.psyer to his sacrifice ; but it will surprise many to learn, that theßritisb government have condescended t i shave or rather take to themselves as revenue, the booty of superstition, and actually receive 87,000 rupees annually from the votaries to the Pagoda. A view of " Tyemian and Bennet's Journal," from which we have from time to time made extracts, constitute an amusing article. To those who are considering the subject of the India Com pany's exclusive China trade, we recommend the judicious Essay on our relations with China—in which there are remarks meriting attention. This number, as usual, is enriched by transactions of the learned societies connected pith Eastern Literature, and an excellent combination of Indian intelligence. SOME ACCOUNT OF THE NATIONAL REPOSITORY AT CHARING CROSS. We recently passed an afternoon with great sa tisfaction, in the National Repository, for the exhibition of specimens of new and improved pro ductions of the artisans and manufacturers of the United Kingdom, near Charing Cross; and we feel it to be a public duty to notice a few of the very ingenious specimens brought together in this interesting deg& of the fine and useful arts. We need scarcely premise that we highly applaud this Institution, being fully satisfied that such exhi bitions prove not only a powerful stimulus in pro moting the further improvement of our already successful manufactures, but likewise in bringing into notice the latent talents of many skilful in ventors and manufacturers, instead of these me ritorious persona suffering in obscurity, and sacri ficing their inventions, valuable alike to the country and themselves, for want of such a suit able opportunity to introduce their works to the British public. In the present year's exhibition we find no less than two hundred and forty-four specimens, all of them admirable in their various degrees and qua lities of " ornament and use." In the brief no tice to which our space necessarily prescribes, we cannot be expected to touch on rho twentieth part of the merits of so extensive a collection. A few of the specimens, however, must on no account be hastily passed over. Among the first of these we are bound to notice the " Model of a Fire Escape and Moveable Crane," by Mr. D. Davis, of George street, Trinity-square. This is one of the highly meritorious and philanthropic contrivances by which assistance is effectually conveyed from without, to the inmates of a house on fire ; and Mr. Davis has most ingeniously combined lightness, strength, and facility of application to any point of a build ing, where assistance is requisite. It consists of a simple machine, to which a , tin or fire-proof car is attached, which admits of being rapidly raised and lowered on its standard, and in which persons shut out from every other means of escape, together with their valuable goods, can, with the most perfect safety, be conveyed from the upper windows, or front any aperture in the walls, of a building on fire. When wo consider that " goods and chat tels" are the only things in which Insurance Com panies are interested, and that they never provide for the security of human life, in those conflagra tions which so frequently occur in this vast city, we look upon the invention of Mr. Davis as inva luable ; and without hesitation proclaim —now that the discovery is made—that no Insurance Company in the kingdom should be unprovided with stores of this Fire Escape, to co-operate with their other engines in cases of destruction by fire. We a; 'e further induced to recommend Mr Davis's invention to public patronage and application, as we consider it a matter of general Police. Surely, the protection of human life, as far as human aid can go, in the frightful casualty of fire, is as much a matter of general Police as the protection of a man's pocket-handkerchief in a crowd ; and ought Ito be provided for by the same, or some analogous lautherity, as that which guards against the burgla rious entry of a dwelling, or the abstraction of a few pence front a mans pocket. It is on these grounds, and in the name of humanity, that we congratulate the public on this useful invention. In the fine arts at this exhibition, we see a great variety of exquisite specimens. It would be bar barous not to direct attention to the handiwork of two young ladies, more especially as their produc tions deservedly hold a high place in the Reposi tory. The first is a vase of flowers, in wax, by Miss Mary M &hull—imitations not only beauti ful, but recommending themselves to the natu ralist for the fidelity with which objects of this class may be permanently pourtrayed. Miss Minshull has modelled her tasteful group from na tural specimens, without resorting to the mecha nical aid of stamps. The second is another vase of flowers, with rice-paper ornaments, by Miss Rams den, of Walworth, likewise tasteful and faithful representations of nature. In the improvement of musical instruments, we have several specimens of the sweet flageolet, by the celebrated Bainbridge of Holborn-hill. One of these is more especially worthy of notice. It is an ordinary concert German flute, the head of which may be removed and replaced by a flageolet top, with this advantageous peculiarity, that the finger ing is precisely the same with both hands. We have no doubt that it will be very generally pre ferred as soon as its merits are known. It would be culpable -to pass over some other specimens which especially mid deservedly attract the admiration of visitors to the repository. One is a picture of organized nature, as extending over the earth, by Smith and Son, the mapsellers in the Strand. We have here a vast number of facts, of the highest interest to the naturalist, assembled by the artists, Messrs. Wilbrand and Ritgen, in an inconceivably small space. It is, in truth, the perfection of concentrated knowledge. In one collective view we are shown the local habitation, and range of distribution, of several tribes of or- ~- genic beings, animal and vegetable, on the sur face of the earth. These bird's-eye glances, over the various departments of organic nature, conduce greatly to the consolidation of the student's ac quirements, and lead him, perhaps, by the shortest [ path to the formation of general and philosophic , views. Connected with this subject, we likewise see in the national exhibition, a miniature model of the earth, (executed, by the way, in Germany), and sent in by C. Baring Wall, Esquire. Al lowing for the exaggeration necessary to make the prominences on the earth's surface apparent, on so small a sphere, this globe affords a display ex ceedingly interesting to the student of geography, and more especially to the geologist.—such models speaking so much more intelligibly than do at tempts by the graver, to delineate the mountain ranges of our planet. We wish that the improve ment in art, demonstrated in the present specimen of foreign assiduity and talent, may instantly be followed in our own country; and that the inge nuity of our British artists will furnish us with Jac-similes of that which the patient labour, and diligent inquiry of the German, have so admirably achieved. The information of volumes is here imparted in a glance of the eye. We have enlarged so much on the few speci mens we have chosen, that wo find we must post pone much of what our visit has furnished us, for some future occasion. We can make room at present only for a slight notice at the magnificent " Triumph of Alexander the Great," by the Che valier Thorwaldson. Mr.' Pusey, we find, with his accustomed liberality, has permitted this frieze for another season to adorn the walls of the gallery. The original was designed by Thorw•ald eon, for the Quirinal Palace at Rome, on the ex pected occasion of Napoleon's visit to that city. From his original models, casts in plaster were taken. Subsequently the Count Sommariva requested the celebrated sculptor to execute the frieze in marble, for his splendid villa on the Lake of Como. Lat terly, Thorwaldson has superintended the labours of his pupil, Bienaime, in reducing the subject to its present size, one half that of the original, and multiplying it in terracotta. Although we can not enter here on the details of the scene, we must not omit the tribute of our admiration to the talents of the illustrious artist—born certainly in an unhospitable clime, but possessing the in ventive faculty, and fine imagination of the most favoured native of the most genial soil and at mosphere. Whether the taste of Thorwaldson bas been nurtured to ripeness, by his transmigra tion from the glacier shores of Iceland to the sun ny sky and classic ground of Italy, were difficult to demonstrate, knowing so little as we do, in his as in other cases, of the causes and course of the progressive development of intellectual power ; but certain it is, that the artist of whom we new speak, stands first in the first rank of the sculp tors of our day, as gifted richly with the faculty of original conception, and eminently endowed with the physical skill of facile and correct execu tion. In the exhibition of this season we have two or three other productions of the chevalier; there are two bass-reliefs—the one representing Bacchus and Cupid, the other Anacreon, at the moment when, having received Cupid into his house on a rainy night, and tended him by the fire-side, he enquires whether Cupid has recovered, and receives the an swer that he is well,--but that Anacreon's heart shall ache. We likewise find in the repository, a baptismal font, of which the marble original was composed by Thorwaldson, as a present to Iceland, his native country. This notice of the National Repository must not be considered invidious, or by any means derogating from the '• use or ornament" of the two hundred other curious and ingenious specimens now to be seen for a trifle at Charing Cross. The most me ritorious of them we will not fail to notice as they deserve on an early uocasion—distinctly avowing, at the same time, that our unconditional and un biassed support of this meritorious and national In stitution, must be accompanied with this qualifica tion, that there are a few—a very few—specimens which we conceive the artists to have had a certain degree of vain but fruitless ambition to offer, and the " Committee of Inspection" a certain degree of complaisance to receive.
