(From the Salopian Journal) Welcome, welcome, feathered stranger ! Now the sun bids nature smile; Safe arrived, and free from danger, Welcome to our blooming isle ; Still twitter on my lowly roof, And hail me at the dawn of day ; Each morn the recollected proof Of time that ever fleets away ! Fond of sunshine, fond of shade, Fond of skies serene and clear, E'en transient storms thy joys invade, In fairest seasons of the year ; What makes thee seek a milder clime ? What bids thee shun the wintry gale ? How know'st thou thy departing time ? Hail, wond:ous bird! hail, swallow, hail ! Sure something more to thee is given Than myriads of the feathered race ; - Some gift divine, some spark from heaven, That guides thy flight from place to place. Still freely come, still freely go, And blessings crown thy vigorous wing ; May thy rude flight meet no rude foe, Delightful Messenger of Spring ! LITERARY NOTICES. The proper Deity of our Lord the only Ground of Con sistency in the Work of Redemption. A Lecture, delivered in Christ Church, Hunter-street, on Wed nesday evening, March 13, 1839, by the Rev. H. M‘Neile. H. Penis. This constitutes the sixth of a series of discourses now delivering in Christ Church on the errors of Uni tarianism ; and the subject allotted to the reverend gentleman is one to which he has devoted much atten tion, and upon which (though involving a great depth of doctrine) he is consequently well qualified to speak. Whilst the statements are made clear to the meanest capacity by various simple illustrations, they are at the same time confirmed by numberless irrefragable argu ments. The text selected is Romans iii., 22 & 26. We are sorry to be unable to do justice to the subject or the sermon itself, in consequence of being ccmpelled to curtail the extracts, which we should otherwise gladly give. Mr. M`Neile, after describing the charac ter of man as revealed in the inspired volume, and tracing tits right source "all condemnation before God and misery amongst men," lays it down as an in controvertible axiom that " man requires a twofold re demption : redemption from the guilt of transgression and redemption,. from the power of corruption," and proceeds to point out the atrocity of the offences which need that redemption by the following simple illustration : " Suppose the gise of a soldier guilty of the offence of striking a man. His offence in the atrocity ascribed to it and in the penalty incurred by it varies with the station (relatively to himself) occupied by the man stricken. If the blow be given to a fellow-soldier, the offence is trivial and the punish ment slight. If the blow be given to his commanding officer, the offence is aggravated into insubordination, and the punishment incurred is severe. If the blow be given to his sovereign, the offence assumes the malignity of high treason, and the punishment is death. The act itself was all the while and in every case striking a man, but the character of the offer.ce and the extent of the penalty varied with the dignity of the person offended. What then is the character of an offence against the King of Kings, the infinite God ? It is to be measured not by the insignificance of the creature com mitting it, but by the majesty of the Creator against whom it is committed." After a few further remarks, he proceeds : "If God be ONE in the sense for which Unitarians contend, some compromise is inevitable. if an offender against such a God escape, strict justice and truth are vio lated : if he escape not, saving mercy is not exercised. I pray you to consider this statement : mercy, by a Being such as we now suppose—by a Being whose unity resembles the unity of man—can only be exercised by setting aside the verdict of justice—justice can only be exercised by refusing to show mercy. If the divine unity be similar to our unity—if God be one in the sense that Unitarians contend for, he is reduced tl this alternative : either he must show no mercy in order to continue true,—or he must show no truth in order to exercise mercy." The reverend preacher then describes, in contrast, the object of Trinitarian worship, and, after noticing how modem Unitarians attempt to meet the dilemma by which ancient Pharisees were silenced, and how harmoniously everything written in the Scripture ranges itself with the truth that Jesus, who is " God over all blessed for ever," is also, as concerning the flesh, a na tural descendant of the Israelites, proceeds to repel the slanders that God is represented by him as vindictive and implacable until appeased by the work of Christ. A reference is then made to many passages of Scrip ture to show the nature of the death of Christ : and the connection between that death and the Jewish sa crifices is clearly pointed out as being ordained for Christ, not Christ for them ; and the lecture con tinues : This ceremonial law had a shadow of good things to come. It was appointed after a pattern shown to Moses in the Mount :—` See,' said God, ' that thou make all things ac cording to the pattern that was shown thee in the Mount.' If Moses constructed the tabernacle worship after that pat tern what and where was the original? It was the great pur pose in the mind of God. This makes a reference to the Mosaic ritual, a rectifier of interpretations of the Gospel, and it there fore stamps falsehood on any interpretation of the Gospel, which gets rid of that which was inseparable from the Mosaic ritual, namely, the connexion between the shedding of blood and the remission of sins. This was from the beginning an occasion of controversy among fallen men. The brothers of the first family disagreed about it as we do now. Cain was the first who rejected it, the first Deist who esteemed the fruits of the ground a more rational tribute of enlightened Creator than the blood of a lamb. Abel offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice." Further notice is then taken of the prominence given to the shedding of blood ; and the learned au thor goes on to show that the Deity of Christ gives point, and power, and consistency to the remission of sins, and if that Deity be denied the system of Patri archal and Jewish sacrifice, degenerates into wanton cruelty. The remainder of the sermon describes at length the next part of redemption, and concludes with some pungent remarks with reference to the conduct and belief of Unitarians. We have been induced to extend this notice, as we be lieve there are persons inclined to think that professors of an orthodox creed shrink from fairly investigating the subject with which Mr. M`Neile has so successfully grappled, and because the freezing doctrines of Unitari anism are as much opposed to the present happiness and future destiny of man as the dogmas of Popery, though the former are not so frequently laid bare and refuted. The sermon is intersperced with valuable notes, and enriched with a preface and appendix con taining extracts from the Fathers of the Reformation and from Burton's admirable compilation from the Antinicene Fathers. We cordially recommend the whole to the serious attention of our readers. The Church Magazine. April, 1839. We are glad to find that periodical publications ad vocating the doctrines of the Church of England are meeting with so much encouragement as to justify their further multiplication. We hail this as a symp tom of real attachment to the church on the part of the people of England. The magazine before us is a new claimant for public favour. We are glad to find that it has already obtained a very extensive circulation. Many of its articles are powerfully written, especially those against Popery, its uncompromising opposition to which is one of the most commendable features it possesses. The article on " Popery at Leeds" is of this character. The note on the " Origin of Parishes in England and Wales" is interesting. The miscella ne9us ecclesiastical intelligence contained in the Church 314azine renders it a valuable work for reference. We wish the editor would exercise a little more discre tion in the admission of his correspondents' favours. Under this head there are some letters in the present number fit only for the columns of a bigotted Popish journal. ottrp. SPRING'S WINGED MESSENGER. STATE OF TRADE. MANCHESTER, Tuesday.—The market continues in an exceedingly depressed state, both for goods and yarn; and prices yesterday were generally lower than on the preceding Tuesday. In yarn there was a decline of fully id. per lb. •, in printing cloth, of I id. to 3d. per piece ; making a total reduction of about id. per lb. in yarn, and 9d. per piece in cloth, from the prices obtained about a month ago, whilst cotton commands about the same rates as at that time ; and as prices were then unremunerating, it may be readily con ceived that great losses are now sustained on every thing sold, and more especially upon yarn. Of course, under such circumstances, the production is rapidly diminishing ; many mills are working short time, others stopping altogether ; and we fear that the condition of the working classes is likely to be very seriously affected, unless some improvement should speedily take place.—Manchester Guardian. ROCTIDALE FLANNEL MARKET, MONDAY, April 22. There has been a little improvement in the market to-day, the demand for flannels has been brisker, and more business has been done ' • but prices have been low. The wool market continues still dull, and the dealers are quite ready to sell at the old prices. HUDDERSFIELD MARKET, April 23.—This was a dull market in almost every descriptions of goods, which causes a gloomy foreboding for the spring trade. There was little done except in fancy woollens and light fancy goods • and and the demand for these is by no means animated. Wools, consequently, are heavy of sale, and rather inclined to give way. Business in the warehouses also begins to slacken. Foreign orders are scarce, with little prospect for the better. BLACKBURN.—A more stagnant and unsatisfactory state of business can scarcely be imagined than the present ; and must, ere long, be ruinous to many. Yarns and cloth are both lower in prices generally ; and, in some of the better kinds of Power Loom Prints, are from 9d to is per piece. A CASE FOR COL. MABERLEY ' S SCEPTICISM ABOUT IN CREASE AFTER REDUCTION. - At a recent meeting of the Society, formed for the purpose of facilitating the free ad mission of the public to the National Monuments, it was stated, that since the reduction of the charge for admission, the number of visitors to the Tower had increased from 9340 to 35,030 during the year, which had given an increased an nual income of £1800; but of this more than two-thirds, or £l3OO, went into the pocket of the government. In the case the price of admission was reduced from five or six shillings to two shillings, and a fourfold increase of visitants has taken place. Sight-seeing is a matter of pleasure, and unlike let ter writing, which for the greater part, is a matter of business or necessity. We boldly assert, that this case alone would relieve any unprejudiced mind of fears for a loss of the revenue from the adoption of a penny-post.--Post Circular. GORMANDISING.—OD Thursday week, an old pensioner, 67 years of age, named R. Pearson, after drawing his pension went to the Waggon and Horses, Miles Platting, Manchester, and in a few hours he drank 33 naggins of rum, and 42 gills of ale, and eat 21bs. of bacon and 41bs. of bread, the total cost of which was Ils. He was formerly a soldier in the Foot. Guards, he now resides at Miles Platting. Having finished the above, he went home and wanted some thick porridge, to his support—Bottox Chronicle. LIVERPOOL MECHANICS' INSTITUTION. LECTURES ON ANIMAL MECHANICS. On Saturday evening T. Rymer Jones, Esq. delivered the second of his interesting lectures to a numerous audience. We were glad to find a decided improvement in the attend ance, and we feel certain that when the peculiar merit of these lectures becomes generally known, they will be as popu lar as any delivered at the Institution. We have in this lecture to consider the locomotive organs of those animals, which are more perfect in their general structure than those which came under our notice on the pre vious evening, and in doing so, shall have to trace the de velopment of legs and arms, which we shall find to be the agents employed for this purpose. Previous to doing this, it may be well to notice that there are animals capable of loco motion, which do not possess either of these organs, and yet are well adapted for the purposes of their existence. Thus we find that serpents are able to move with ease from place to place, and when we observe their movements and habits, it is impossible to withhold our surprise at the manner in which the deficiency of the usual locomotive organs is com pensated for. The serpent class of animals are not only able to make progress upon the land, but leaving the land can enter upon an aquatic existence, and swim when circum stances require. They can climb with ease the highest trees, and gaining the topmost branches, assail the birds which resort to such positions for protection. They are not con fined to this kind of motion, for if they choose, by coiling up their bodies they can by an elastic spring, dart to a consider able distance upon their prey, and secure it however agile it may be. By their simple flexibility they are able to ac complish all these wonderful movements. But leaving the serpents which are entirely devoid of legs, let us examine the gradual development of these organs, and notice how, step by step, as the animals become more and more perfect, these appendages likewise attain a greater degree of perfection. There are some serpents, which if we strip off their skin, we find to be provided with rudimental joints, which are the first sproutings of legs. Proceeding a little further up, these rudiments become larger and larger, but still useless as organs of progression. In this manner we go on, until in the lizard we first witness the serpentine class of animals with these organs, for the purposes of locomotion, and in this tribe we find them elongated and transformed into four short legs. We see from this, that even the limbs we possess may be traced from their first beginning, until they actually arrive at their highest state of perfection. Fishes, we are aware, are so contrived as to be able to live in water, and pursue their way through that fluid with rapi dity. For this purpose they are constructed upon beautiful mechanical principles, so as to enable them to oppose the least possible resistance to the medium through which they urge their way. Where are the oars by which the fishes ac complish their motion ? We are Usually told that the fins of fishes are the oars by which they swim, and as in human me chanics the tail is the rudder which directs their motion. Nothing can be more at variance with the truth, as it is by the flexibility of their large and powerful tail that they scull themselves'along, and it is by the fins that they direct their course. These fins have from twenty to thirty joints in them. There is another mechanical contrivance which we meet with in the fishes with which we are familiar, namely, those which inhabit the upper regions of the ocean. This is an hydro static apparatus which enables them to come to the top for respiration, and to sink to the bottom without the necessity of using violent muscular efforts. This apparatus consists of an air bladder, which they expand or contract as occasion re quires. There are, however, fishes, which being destined to live at the bottom of the ocean, are not furnished with this contrivance, such as the skate ; but upon examining these fishes, we find their system of fins much more extensive and powerful, so as to compensate for this apparent inconveni ence. The eyes of this class of fishes are situate upon the belly, so as to enable them to look upward. There an: fishes which are enabled to leave the water occasionally and to come upon land. The eels are in this predicament, and they leave the water in which,they may be, and wander over the mea dows in search of waters more suitable to their existence. The climbing perches can climb the trees in the neighbour hood of the water in which they exist, in search of the insects which are to be obtained in such positions. Their fins are thus applicable to other purposes than swimming. The flying fish have their fins converted into means of flight, and by their means these persecuted inhabitants of the deep are enabled to leave the element in which they live, and to dart for a brief space of time into the elements above. In turning our attention to the quadrupeds, we shall begin with those which inhabit the ocean. W e must expect that quadrupeds of this kind will more or less resemble fishes. The whales are the representatives of the quadrupeds which are met with in the ocean. These creatures of enormous bulk live upon the surface of the solitary deep, and there breathe the same air as other quadrupeds do which inhabit the land. They are not animals which breathe by gills as other fishes do, but by lungs as we do. The blood of the whales is hot, as ours is •, and this heat must be incessantly continued by some mechanical contrivance. We find that if animals are exposed on the surface of the earth to wintry cold, they are well wrapt up in a hairy or a woolly covering, to prevent the radiation of their heat. But how are we to prevent the escape of the heat of a whale ? The provision of nature for this purpose is simply to remove the hair from the surface of the body, and to replace it by a strong and thick blanket of fat, which, being placed beneath the skin, answers the same purpose as the hair upon other animals, and does not at all interfere with its movements. But where are the legs of these whales, which we have called quadrupeds ? If you examine these creatures attentively, you will observe that they are furnished with only two fins, but that the tail is remarkably spread out, and, unlike that of other animals, is placed horizontally instead of vertically. Now trace these circumstances in connection with the habits of the whale. As it must breathe, it must come to the top of the water. Its nostrils are placed at the back of the head. It is suffi cient for the whale to protrude the back of his head from the water to enable him to breathe. The existence of one pair of fins near the head is evidently sufficient to elevate the head so as to render breathing possible. But there are some of these creatures which are not strictly confined to the water, but which can come ashore. The seal and walrus are ani mals of this description. Now, if we contrast the structure of the seal with that of the whale, we shall find that there are the same paddles existing, but much more perfectly formed ; that there are fingers projecting through the extre mity of the membrane which covers them ; that these are armed with strong nails, and capable of performing exten sive movements; that the hind legs now begin to appear furnished with strong membranes, so as to convert them into strong oars. Thus furnished, the seal not only swims with great rapidity along the shores, but, whenever circumstances require it, scrambles out upon the banks, and enjoys itself upon the shores of the ocean. There is one unfortunate seal which must find it painful to drag itself upwards, on account of the imperfect condition of its tins. We find that its canine teeth are made to grow downwards to the distance of a foot and a half from the bottom of the upper jaw, and, by means of these strong teeth, the walrus makes up for the deficiency of its posterior fins, for, by using them as hooks, it can drag itself upon the rocks whenever occasion renders it necessary. Let us now proceed to consider the structure of the feet of quadrupeds which live upon the surface of the earth. How various is the form of these organs !—to what a variety of purposes are they adapted ! And yet, if we examine them in detail, one after the other, the differences are so slight that the anatomist has much difficulty in tracing them. Notwithstanding this, I must, upon the present occasion, select a few striking examples ; and, by contrasting them with one another, shew the admirable adaptation which is displayed in this part of the animal kingdom. We will begin with the foot of the horse, as one of the most imperfect with which we are acquainted ; and yet, is there any part of it which can be pointed out that is not a miracle of mechanism ? The very circumstance of its hoof not being divided, renders the horse better adapted as an assistant to human labour. It is evident that, if the hoof were divided into fingers, the animal would not be enabled to use such violent efforts in the way of drawing as we find the horse to do. The softer portions of the foot are so beautifully locked into the harder ones of the hoof, that no portion of the former is found to suffer from the great strain which the horse places upon it. But the foot of the horse may be changed into a variety of others, ill adapted for drawing, but well adapted for the animal possessing them. The huge elephant, as it moves its enormous bulk over the ground, has necessity not for legs, but for pillars ; and it will only be necessary to look at the foot of the elephant to find that it is well adapted for the great weight which it has to sustain. But these pillars may become stilts. The giraffe inhabits the hot and sand plains, and finds no other nourishment and support except from those few trees which are found upon the banks of rivers ; the mimosa tree for instance, which bears its leaves at a very considerable distance above the ground. But how is the giraffe to arrive at the leaves of the mimosa, how is it to stretch itself to such an height, or to climb so high ? It would be impossible by any other contrivance, and therefore, the instruments which in other animals are adapted to such various purposes—in the giraffe are converted into stilts. We find in the kangaroo, and the jerboa that the hind feet are intended for leaping to considerable distances. For this purpose they are very long, and that the fore legs are left of diminutive proportions. To enable the squirrel race of ani mals to leap from tree to tree, without increasing the strength of their legs, between the fore and hind legs there is a strong membraneous portion of the skin, capable of being stretched out ; when, therefore, the flying squirrel makes a leap, it spreads out its feet, and forms a parachute sufficiently large to keep it above the ground, and enables it to spring to much greater distances than without such assistance, it would be capable of doing. There are quadrupeds which live beneath the ground. How are we to convert any of the organs which we have as yet seen to such a purpose as this, and yet to retain the essential form of the organ. The fore feet are shortened to the utmost degree, are extended in breadth, are gifted with hands and nails, and turned upon one side, so as to enable the animal to scratch away anything which may obstruct its progress. This is the contrivance which enables the mole to move itself beneath the ground, and to hide itself there. All that we generally know of the mole is, that it is capable of injuring the farmer's labours by throwing up mole-hills, and it is therefore killed without mercy, when ever the farmer has an opportunity of getting at it. How far this may be theory, I leave practical men to say, but that the mole is an useful agent in draining lands by the holes which he makes beneath them, is certain. You will find that the mole's habitation is fitted out with the greatest ingenuity. As the mole' has many enemies, every form of escape has been attended to. In one of the highest mole-hills thrown up by the mole, you will find its principal' abode. In fact, its cells are thus constructed. A circular chamber or gallery, is cut out in the upper part of the mole-hill, and a second circular chamber of similar dimensions is made in the base of the hill, and these circular galleries communicate with each other by five distinct passages. Now this is a con trivance for escape, which every one must admit. If it is disturbed in the upper gallery, the animal descends to the lower one, and the injury must be great indeed to destroy the whole structure at once. For communicating with the lower gallery there is an excavation still deeper in the ground, and from this excavation another gallery is made, plunging deeper still, and rising up to join a road leading from its quarters to distinct parts of its domains. Thus, whenever the mole is attacked it has abundant means of escape and preservation. From the central division there is invariably a road which is called the main road. A French naturalist anxious to ascertain what the mole was doing under ground, inserted straws at different distances along this main road and surmounted them with little flags. He then alarmed the mole, and the falling of the flags indicated the period of the passage of the mole. He then found that the average pace at which the mole travelled was not less than that of the horse going at a brisk trot. We find that quadrupeds are enabled to fly in the air by having their arms drawn out to a great extent, and being provided with a membraneous covering over the fingers. Here is a wing made out of an organ which in the last instance was used as a spade,—and by the simplest possible contrivance. This conversion of a leg into a wing renders several other mechanical contrivances necessary. How is the bat to make its way when it alights ? The bat does not generally alight, but clings to old walls or trees. The fingers are drawn out and covered with skin, but the thumb is still left free, and forms a hook, which, whilst the fingers can he used as wings, can be used as a hook for grasping. If you watch a bat asleep, the feet are turned to some account, for by means of them the bat hangs with its head downwards, by which means it is protected from danger during sleep. The bat flies with the greatest rapidity and nearly in the dark when in the open air, but in the dun geons in which it lives, absolute darkness may be said to con stitute its usual abode. Now, if a bat is to fly with fearless rapidity in the dusk, how is it to make its way against the obstacles which may be opposed to it. It has been found that when bats are artificially blinded, or their eyes put out in order to prevent them from seeing at all, and obstructions of all kinds placed before them—even strings made to cross each other, in all directions in the apartment where they are brought—none of those obstacles could prevent the bats from threading their way through them without touching them. What contrivance was there to enable the bat to steer its way through the darkness without the aid of eyes to direct it ? Every part of its membraneous wings is a most exquisitely delineated instrument of touch. It feels with the greatest precision the slightest contact, and if you look at the ears of the bat, you will find that they are converted into organs of touch equally well with the membranes of the wings. There is one other part of the animal creation for us to touch upon. We have now to consider the dense forests. In these we find the monkey tribe to be abundant. We now find the feet converted into hands provided with thumbs which enable the animals to grasp, by which power the monkey tribe is enabled fearlessly to thread its way from branch to branch through the densest forests. We find the tails of some ani mals of use in enabling them to take hold of boughs of trees when necessity requires. The next lecture will take place to-morrow evening, in which Mr. Jones will consider the joints and connexions of the osseous system. THE NEW ART. Half as many places as contended for the honour of giving birth to Homer, are now contending for that of the invention or discovery of the new art of producing drawings or pictures, or both : and certainly the discovery of a productive energy in nature, heretofore unknown, No common object to the sight displays : But what with pleasure Heav'n itself surveys. For now miracles have ceased, such discoveries and inven tions (or revelations, if the phrase may be permitted) are the means by which Providence discloses new roads to social happiness. We scarcely yet know how to denominate this new art of producing pictures. M. Daguerre, the highly-talented Pa risian dioramist, wished, and probably still wishes—to con fer on its own name, by academical authority ; meanwhile, our own countryman, Mr. Talmot, (less ambitious,) has given to it--or given to that branch of it, which he has ex plored, and explained to the Royal Society of London—the more scientific name of " Photegnie Drawing;" and the German practitioners call it Heliography. But America, also, has made some pretensions to the discovery, and we may possibly soon hear of a transatlantic appellation. Since, however, sunslight seems to be essential to its successful prac tice, we conceive the Sun has, at least, as good a right to in sist upon the important " We," as he, who of old blew the organ-bellows, and upon the same principle. Who has the best right to be esteemed the original inventor or discoverer ? is a question we shall not discuss at present, further than to say, that a letter, published in the Literary Gazette, claims that distinction for a M. Niepsce ' since de ceased, but formerly the co-experimentalist of M. Daguerre. This gentleman seems to have the most satisfactory claims : but all parties must be heard—perhaps probed—and it may possibly then appear, that the new art may have been in vented in more places than one ; and so nearly at the same time, that more than one may, with justice, lay claim to the honour of originality. In many.respects, but in one more particularly, which has always been held to be a great academical difficulty—we mean the art of "fore -shortening"—nature will become a severe schoolmistress. No unatomical or unacademical fore-short enings will occur to the heliographist ; since we know, well, that nature puts everything correctly in perspective, "and no mistake." _ _ Wherefore, for the present, and for the gratification of those of our readers who may also wish to experimentalise, we make publicly known, that with the concurrence of our ingenious philosophical countryman, Mr. Talbot, Messrs. Ackermann & Co. are preparing an easily portable apparatus, that will enable persons of accurate observation to produce photogenic drawings. Of which apparatus we submit the following description and directions for use : " In offering to the public the following directions for the practice of photogenic drawing, which may emphatically be called the New Art, we must claim the indulgence of our readers for the necessarily imperfect nature of some of the details ; the art itself is but in its infancy, and until the mode in which the drawings were made was liberally disclosed by Mr. Talbot, a Fellow of the Royal Society of London, the whole subject was involved in mystery. The directions given for the practice of the art, are founded upon his communica tions, with such additional observations as seemed necessary to make the process intelligible to the unscientific reader. The useful purposes to which the art may be applied, are, at present, but ill-defined ; but there is reason to believe, that future discoveries will render it available in many cases: in the mean time, we have no hesitation in recommending it to the ladies as a means by which exact copies may be made of the most intricate patterns of needlework ; for the accurate delineation of the leaves and other parts of a plant, and the representation of many subjec6 of natural history ; the use fulness of its first application must be self-evident to all those who are aware of the tedious labour of drawing an intricate pattern correctly ; by means of photogenic drawing, the most elaborate effort of the most skilful female hand, whether it has been directed to the production of the richest lace, or an elaborate piece of tambour-work, can be copied in the space of a few seconds, without the least injury to the delicate fabric. The application of this art, for the purpose of making botanical drawings, is likely to become an object of as much scientific importance to the botanist, as it must be of attraction to the amateur. The character of many portions of a plant, when preserved, even with the greatest care, in a herbrarmum, is always much altered from its original appearance in a state of nature : by means of the new art, the field botanist, if provided with a few sheets of photogenic paper and his drawing frame, may return home after an hours walk in the sun, [sunlight, or sunshine; nobody walks in the sun, that we know of,] with many highly finished botanical drawings, on the accuracy of which not the least doubt can exist. To the entomoligist, the new offers a ready method of collecting, in a small compass, and preserving for future inspection and comparison, correct figures and outlines of the wings, legs, and other parts of insects, on trifling distinctions in which their specific ' and, frequently, even their generic existence depends. We have, in the first instance, limited our recommendation of this art to the purposes we have noticed, from a desire not to mislead our readers, by inducingthem to attempt to produce effects which can only be obtained by the greatest skill, constant practice, and extreme care, combined with the, advantage of expensive instruments. As the subject expands, and as new discoveries are made, we shall continue to add fresh materials to this little tract, which we have thus early laid before the public, to gratify the curiosity at present excited on the subject, and in the hope the directions given, will be sufficiently clear to enable amateurs to practice this pleasing art with success. TO PREPARE PHOTOGENIC PAPER. " The paper beinc , cut to the required size, is to be dipped into a solution of salt in water, in the proportion of half-an ounce of salt to half-a-pint of water; let the superfluous moisture drain off, and then, laying the paper upon a clean cloth, dab it gently with a napkin, so as to prevent the salt collecting in one spot more than another. The paper iS now to be pinned down, by two of its corners, on a drawing-board, by means of common pins, and one.si4e, washed or wetted with the photogenic fluid, using the brush prepared for that purpose, and taking as much care to distribute it equally, as if you were laying in a sky in a water colour drawing : dry the paper now as rapidly as you can, at the fire, of course being cautious not to scorch it. When dry, apply another wash of the fluid, and again drying it at the fire, the paper will be fit for use, for most purposes. If when the paper is exposed to the sun's rays, it should assume an irregular tint, a very thin extra wash of the fluid will render the colour uniform, and at the same time somewhat darker. .Should it be required to make a more sensitive description of paper, after the first application of the fluid, the solution of salt should be applied, and the paper dried at the fire ; apply a second wash of the fluid, and dry it at the fire again ; employ the salt a third time, dry it, and one more application of the fluid will when dried, have made the paper extremely sensitive. If greater sensibility is required, a fourth applica tion, and the fluid will effect the purpose. In the next place, write a number or a letter on the back of each piece of paper, and cut a narrow slip from the edge of each, marked in a corresponding manner. Expose these slips to the action of the daylight, not the sunshine, and notice the order in which they become dark. Those which are soonest affected by the light, are the best prepared, and the sheets from which they were cut, should be prepared for the most particular purposes. The paper must be kept away from daylight. CAUTIONS TO BE STRICTLY OBSERVED IN PREPARING AND USING THE PHOTOGENIC PAPER. " Ist. Remember, that if the photogenic fluid falls upon any substance, it will make an indelible black stain, and cannot even be removed from the hand until the skin peels off. 2d. Be particularly careful that the paper, when used, is perfectly dry, or there will be danger of its staining the object laid on it to copy. If perfectly dry it will not injure the most delicate piece of lace. 3d. The vessels into which the fluid is poured must be glass or earthenware, and the brushes must not be set in tin, nor must metal of any kind come in contact with the fluid. 4th. Take great care that none of the solution of salt drops into the fluid ; it would render it turbid, and almost useless. sth. The paper should be prepared by candlelight. 6th. Immediately after using the brush in the fluid, let it be well washed in water. 7th. No more of the fluid should be poured out than can be used at the time, as there is dan ger in pouring it back into the bottle, that some trifling por tion of salt may be mixed with it, which would render the liquid turpid. Sth. To avoid the danger of staining the fingers, or dress, the vessels employed in the process should be thrown into a basin of water directly they are done with. We recommend gloves to be worn while the paper is prepared. TO PRODUCE A PHOTOGENIC DRAWING. " The following method is applicable to the purpose of ob taining copies of leaves of plants and flowers, prints and paint ings on glass, wings of insects, sea-weeds, lace, &c. The apparaus employed to copy the above objects consists of a wooden frame, like that of a small looking-glass, in which a plate of clear glass is placed, resting on a rabbet in the usual manner, over which is a cushion of silk, fixed to the back board, and pressed upon the glass, when necessary, in the usual manner. The glass being downwards, and the back board removed, the object to be copied is laid upon it, (the glass,) and a piece of prepared paper of sufficient size is laid on this object, the prepared side touching it : over this you place the cushion and backboard, and force it gently against the glass, by means of the cross-pieces. When all this is done, the glazed side of the frame is held opposite the sun, and the drawing is made in a shorter or longer time, accord ing to the brightness of the sunshine, and the goodness of the prepared paper. When sufficiently darkened, it is to be re moved into the shade, and taken out of the frame, to be after wards fixed in the manner we shall presently explain. CAUTIONS IN TAKING A PHOTOGENIC DRAWING BY TRANSMISSION OF THE SUN'S RAYS. " Ist. It is absolutely necessary, to the obtainment of a clear drawing, that the object to be copied should lie close to the surface of the prepared paper. 2d. It is best to cut the paper into the requisite sizes by candlelight, and to mark the back of each piece so that it may be known at once ; for if there is any delay, the surface undergoes a partial change of colour, and the drawing is less distinct. TO FIX THE DRAWINGS. - " First method.—After the drawing has been made by the action of the sun's rays, it is to be dipped into the solution of salt in water ; when taken out, the superfluous moisture is to be removed, and the paper dried at a fire ; after this it is but little injured by a partial exposure to the rays of the sun, and remains unchanged if kept in a portfolio, or only ex • posed to common daylight. N.B. If the drawing is very dark, a saturated solution of salt is necessary. • Second me thod.—This method fixes the drawing with more certainty, but requires greater care in its application; instead of the so lution of salt a small quantity of iodide of potash is used in the same manner ; but if it is in the least degree too power ful, it attacks the dark part of the drawing and destroys it, and, if not sufficiently strong, it acts so slightly on it, as to leave the paper still liable to change on exposure to the light. To ascertain if it is of the requisite degree of strength, it must be tried on the edge of the paper on which the drawing is made ; and if it change the dark parts to a primrose colour, it is too strong, and must be diluted. A sixth part of the quantity of iodide in the bottle will be. in general, sufficient for a wine-glass full of water."—The Probe TRICKS AT AUCTION. — In a case heard before the Insol vent Debtor's Court, a few days ago, the party was a Jew. He said, at all auctions, where a stranger came forward to bid, it was a plan, that one of the body of " general dealers" should outbid him whether the article was worth the money or not. The articles obtained in this manner was afterwards sold, and the profit and loss divided amongst them. They carried, by this mode, all things before them. There scarcely was ever a sale by auction but a number of Jews attended and prevented " strangers" from getting a " bargain." We have the best authority for stating that the report, which is stated by the Brighton Herald to be " current in the Brussels circles of ton, that the Queen, who has never visited the continent, will pay a visit to her august relatives, the King and Queen of the Belgians, in the course of next summer," is entirely without foundation. According to arrangements now in progress, (but nothing definite has been decided upon) her Majesty meditates a visit to Scotland in the course of the autumn; but a trip to the continent has never even been contemplated by the Queen.—Windsor and EtonJournal. MANCHESTER—TUESDAY EVENING. A degree of activity prevails in the turf market, which, it is to be regretted, is not to be found in some others. It may be remembered that we placed three horses on Tuesday at the figure of 6 to 1, for the Chester Cup. One of these, Harkaway, has improved upon that price ; and, yesterday, a little bet was laid at 5 to 1, and'half a point more, to upwards of a score. King Cole has been backed in various sums, from a hundred downwards ; his party seem resolved to be as near the " heavy weight" as spirit and money can achieve. Caravan is offered against at 6 to 1 ; but we think were the lovers disposed to show fight at half a point beyond that figure, they :would very soon find customers. Lord Nor manhy's mare has been noticed as having come from the confirmed outside to 8 to 1; but at that period (Friday) 10 to 1 was offered against her. On Saturday, she again was in high fashion, and, at 8 to 1, was supported for about seventy pounds, SO to 10 was booked last night, and a point less dur ing the present day. The weight of business in the general circles of speculation has been, for the past few days, with these four candidates for the important event; and it may in truth be added, all parties have shown that they do not ap prehend defeat ; for they lay out money with a profuseness not occurring on every race. Next to these horses stands Van Buren ; but his friends are rather lukewarm ; 11 to 1 goes " a begging." They have certainly mustered courage to lay 200 to 100 he beats Mr. Allen's horse Percy, with the pretty four-year-old weight of 7st. Sibs. Of this horse (the property of a fellow-townsman), it may be further added, that he is doing uncommonly well, and the party think his chance in the face of the cracks not to be despised. Sir Thomas Stanley's horse on Monday night stood at 100 to 7, the top offer ; at noon yesterday it was laid at 6 ; but the party did not seem ?mare how the market run ; however, they have not lost anything ; for at night the price was repeated, and, we believe, in one instance it was laid to 5. This even ing, we learn that, at Liverpool yesterday, the baronet's horse was not so much on " the go" as here, for 14 to 1 would willingly have been pencilled down. Previous to giving the quotations of a market fluctuating with almost every other post, we may observe that, since our last figures, the extinguisher has, beyond all doubt, been put upon lon's friends. After a number of engagements of an outre character, the death-blow was given by one gentleman, long a staunch friend of lon's, ,receiving a crown to return the sum of £5 OO , if he runs for the cup. This dashes away, we should say, all hope for his numerous friends.

CHESTER TRADE CUP.—The committee have been very active collecting subscriptions during the past week, and have been tolerably successful. One of the conditions of the races is, that no horse shall be allowed to start, which stand at the stables of any person, who does not subscribe two guineas to the meeting. We trust this rule will be enforced ; as some instances have come to our knowledge, where parties who have a large trade in this line during the race week have objected to subscribe. Owners of race horses, will therefore do well to inquire whether, when they engage stables, the condition of the meeting has been complied with. CHESTER RAC.ES. — The ensuing Chester Races promise excellent sport. The Apothecary, one of the smartest two year olds in any part of England, is engaged in the famed Dee Stakes as well as the Palatine Stakes.. The Tradesman's Cup, however, is the attraction in point of speculation ; in deed, at' Manchester, ' books' to a large amount are always made upon this race. The handicap, somehow or another, is always a good one, consequently the acceptances are nu merous. At present King Cole and Harkaway are running a sort of dead heat' for the premiership ; while close at their heels are Caravan and Cardinal Puff; then follows Van Bruen, lon, Modesty, Slashing Harry, Cowboy, and one or two others. The betting at present is about 6to 1 on the field—a tolerable proof of fairness of the handicap. To judge by Harkaway's race for the Queen's Plate at Don caster, we are at a loss to pick up any animal in this sporting race for choice against him ; and although lOst. seems a pro digious load for a five-year old to carry, yet it is stated upon good authority, that Harkaway was a stone and half better thaw Cardinal Puff in the Doneaster race. Supposing this to be case, and the horse to continue his work well, with other et ceteras we need not mention, we would ask what horse's chance looks better than Harkaway's ? It may be urged that the Chester course is quite a different one to any that the flying Irish horse has ever galloped over, being a circular course of one mile, and this may have some effect upon a lengthy galloper, as Harkaway is. Still we look upon him as a dangerous customer.—Sporting Magazine. '' l z• TATTERSALL'S, Mciivonv. The room was excessively Crowded for several hours ; but betting, brisk at first, was dull on the whole. The four prin cipal favourites for the Derby were clustered togetlier ; Ceesar, without being backed to any amount, having a marked pre ference ; seven to one was laid repeatedly against the Dey of Algiers, so readily, indeed, that the takers were first satis fied. The same odds were offered against Dragsman, but not accepted. The Corsair had a host of friends at eight to one ; but no one seemed disposed to back Mr. Thornhill's colt. The Epsom and city divisions were very zealous in their support of Valaincourt, whose price will be found several points short of the last quotations. Sleight-of-hand fluctua ted strangely in the course of the afternoon ; at one time twenty to one was taken, five points more were then offered, and at the close eighteen to one was taken to " a sum." Bulwark was nominally at twenty to one : his party was ex ceedingly small, nor was his stable companion, Westonian, although quoted at forty to one, in any force. The King of Kelton was backed freely at one thousand to ten ; he is said to be on the road per van. The Oaks betting possessed little interest, and was remarkable only for the introduction of two new favourites—the Memima filly, a winner at Newmarket on Friday, and The Dolphin, beaten at Catterick by Mr. Stephenson's Lightfoot, to whom she ran fourth only in a cleverly won race. The betting closed at half-past six, as follows : THE DERBY. 5 to 1 against Lord Jersey's lot 10 to 1 ~ Mr. Thornhill's lot 15 to 1 ~ Sir G.

But " flour" may be made of rye, rice, barley, beans, peas, or potatoes. • LONDON AND BRIGHTON RAILROAD.—The works upon this line in the neighbourhood of New England are now ad vancing rapidly. Two hundred men are at work there pre paring the ground for the entrance to the station in Tra falgar-street, and although the excavations in cutting for this are stupendous, it is expected they will be complete and joined on to the Shoreham branch by September next. The excavations on the Shoreham branch at the Wick are also being at last proceeded with, and the engine is kept in con stant employment between there and Southwick. A new engine called the " Shoreham" arrived in the town on Tues day evening last, drawn by fourteen beautiful horses. On Wednesday morning it was conveyed along the upper road to Portsdale, and there safely placed upon the rails. This en gine is rather larger than the " Brighton," and of course, more powerful, and is intended chiefly for luggage trains, being of a different construction. The present weather has favoured particularly the works on the main line, where every contractor is urging his power to the utmost. —Brighton Herald. ELOPEMENT.—The week before last the daughter of a me dical gentleman residing about six miles from Cork, in the barony of Kinnalea, eloped with a neighbouring Lothario. She is just " in her teens," and reported to possess two thousand charms. When her flight became known, her brother, assisted by two bridewell officers, went in pursuit. The fugitives, being watchful, kept changing their quarters for five days, but eventually a house near the Ovens, in which they were concealed, was alighted on. The pursuers knock ed loudly at the door—there was no admittance, and at length one of them went to the rear of the mansion, where I•.e per ceived the' lady dropping from a window in the arms of her lover. When she alighted on the ground they both set off at full speed across the lawn, but being quickly followed by the constables were captured. The fair one was subsequently conveyed to her home, where she was met by her parents with the greatest joy. It is said a fatted calf' was instantly ordered to be slaughtered to commemorate her happy return. —Cork Con.titutional. - ARRIVED—Bombay Packet, Wylie, from Bonny; sailed Ist Jan. and from Fernando Po, Igth Jan.—Condor; Smith, from Monte Vi den—Ann Monde% Roberts, from Barbadoes—Australia, English, from Bahia ; sailed 4th March—Carolina, Jones, from St Michael's.

Since Tuesday last, the arrivals of Grain, Flour and Oatmeal from Ireland, Coastwise, and from foreign ports, have been to a consider able extent, greatiy exceeding our present demand ; and sales only to a very limited extent have been made, though a decline of 3d to 4d per 701bs on Wheat is to Is 6d per 2801bs, and Is per barrel on Flour, Id per 451bs on Oats, and Is to is 6d per 2401 b on Oatmeal, and Is per qr on Beans and Pease has been submitted to; tine Malt and fine Malting Barley have fully supported last quotations ; and these remarks are applicable to the Manchester Corn market, and to all others of this district and of Yorkshire during the past week. The duty on Wheat from foreign ports is since Friday further in creased to lOs 8d per qr. and on Flour to 6s ad per brl ; there is also an increase of is 6d per qr. on Pease; the chief part of the last week's imports has paid the duties of 6s Bd, 4s, and 12s 6d respectively, but it is now probable that all those articles will go into bond. Some Flour has already found sale in bond at 34s to 35s per brl. ; and Oats continue to find sales slowly, in bond, at 2s lld to 3s 2d per 451bs for export. At this day's market there was a good attendance of town millers and dealers, and also of those from distant interior markets ; but the transactions, which otherwise would in all probability have oc curred, were greatly paralyzed by the decline in Mark-lane yester day of 4s to 5s per quarter on Wheat ; and in consequence sales were made only to a very moderate extent of every article in the trade, at fully the reduction in prices above noted, and which, in some instances, was a little increased.
