BROCKEDON'S PATENT PURE PLUM BAGO for ARTISTS, and ENGINEERS' BLACK LEAD PENCILS. The perfection to which this article is now brought, in Colour, firm ness, entire Purity from Grit, awl ready Erasure, is fully shown in the accompanying Testimonials from Painters and Engravers, Archi tects, Engineers, and other- Draughtsmen, who are at once the most competent judges, and men of the greatest eminence in their several professions. Nothing is required to be added to this mass of evi dense, but to point out to Pencil Manufacturers the peculiar advan tages presented by the form of the blocks of this Patent Plumbago, for ready application and the avoidance of waste. Each of the blocks weighs about seven ounces, and they are to be used by the pencil-makers for such different qualities of pencils as are known by the centre letters stamped on the blocks. These blocks being already tempered ibr such degrees of hardness and colour as the letters indicate, cannot be made harder, or treated in any way to make them harder, without injury to their quality. The blocks are thus ready for immediate use, of all degrees of colour and hardness, and possess great advantages, in the uniform quality in the letter, and in the size of the block, which, being two inches and a quarter square, and about one inch thick, enables the maker to have but one joint in each penal'.

My Dear Sir, - Many thanks for the case of pencils,'which possess exactly those qualities which have been' so long required for archi tectural and engineering purposes, and by every artist. Their easy working without grit from their pure mad equable lead, and unifor mity of colour in long use, render them so desirable that I beg to suggest that thinner pencils should be made of HIM and MI for the supply of compasses.—l am my dear, sir, yours ever, W.

My Dear Sir,—l feel extremely obliged for the specimen of black lead pencils you have sent me, of which the lead is manufactured by your patent process. I have tried them, and I have no hesitation in saying that they are the best pencils I ever used. They have all the degrees of hard ness, and every variety and shade of colour, that can be required by an artist. The lead is perfectly tree from grit ; and I can point these pencils much more easily, and when pointed they do not break, as other pencils generally do. I am so entirely satisfied with these pencils, that I have pur chased a supply of them for my own use; and I canuot but think them a valuable acquisition not only to artists, but to every one re quiring the use of pencils, With mazy thanks Mr them, I remain, my dear Sir, yours faithfully, WILLIAM WYON.

I have delayed writing from time to time that I might give myself the opportunity of trying fairly your preparation of plumbago. This I have new done, and can report with confi dence upon the pencils ; nor do I think there is anything wanting to their excellence. The chief beauty of them lies in the evenness of quality in the 'ead and absence of gritty particles. They are, in deed, moat pleasant to draw with, and yield freely to that little accent in touch which the artist delights in. I have tried them in simpleline on wood-block, and I have tried them in landscape and foliage, on several sorts of paper, and each trial has proved them satisfactorily.—Believe me, dear Sir, yours ever truly, W. Brockedon, Esq. HENRY WARREN. From Clarkson Stanfield, Esq., R.A. 48, Mornington• place, Jan. 12, 1840. My dear Brockedon,—l have tried your pencils, and, as far as my experience goes in such matters, I think them excellent.

My dear Sir,—To a man who lives as I do, with a peneil in hIY nand, it is impossible to oveestimate the comfort of having it of the over quality ; and no temptation of old friendship , lo w pricCs, or of elo quelt recommendation, can ever lead me to an ac knowledgment its virtue till I have fairly tested it by my own experience. Your pencils came to me at a period when my patience had been fairly exhausted by things which were getting daily worse, and I set to work on them at once: the rata has been highly satisfactory ; they are everything I could wish them to be. The softer numbers are what I have not met with for years, and the harder sorts carry with , tin= a depth of Motu* which uo other penclla, that I Know A Din approach ; and this is without the risk of snapping off the point, which is the torment, of all otherk, the most - vexatious : this has never once happenedto me with yours, med.! have used one of the HIIH nearly - a month. There is no affectation in declaring that I am deeply:g - rateful foryour discovery, and though latent - flaking this acknowledgment to you, I have lost no opportunity meanwhile in endeavouring to make the great qualities of your pencils as popular as they deserve to be. — I am, my dear Sir, ours Always truly, W. Brockedon, F . ..5q., WILLIAM HARVEY. From Professor Brande, &c. &c. &C. • Royal Mint, Feb. 13, 1846. Nfy, dear Sir—My opinion respecting your. Patent riumbago amounts to this ; that by much ingenuity you have overcome nume rous difficulties, in the way of compressing comminuted plumbago into a solid mass of an extraordinary, homogeneous, and uniform character ; that the fracture and texture of that which you have so consolidated so closely resembles the finest native specimens as to render it extremely difficult, if not impossible, to distinguish be tween your artificial product and that of the finest quality obtained from the mites; that the pencils from your manufacture are, as far as nay judgment enables me 'to determine, equal to those made of the best Berrodale ',lumbago ; and, lastly, that you have succeeded in giving to them those different degrees of hardness which are, re quired by the artist, without rendering them brittle on the one hand, or puiverulent on the other.—yonrs always, very sincerely, Wm. Brockedon, Esq. WM. THOS. BRANDE. From Francis Ronalds, Esq., F.R,S &c., of the Kew Observatory. Kew Observatory, Monday. My dear Sir,—l beg your pardon for having so long delayed to express my opinion of your patent lead in pencils ; but I do not regret very much the omission, because it has given me time to test the specimens fairly whilst making my drawings for the report con eerning this Observatory to the British Association. I may conscientiously say that Inover used a pencil—l speak of the HH at this moment—with more satisfaction. It was smooth, equally hard throughout, and possessed a quality which the harder sort of pencils hitherto used are deficient in, viz., blackness. - 13efore.I had tried them all, Baron de Walterbausen and Professor Kriel, of Prague, :came here, and were so enamoured of them that they not only took them per force, hut almost abused me for not being able to give them a nearer address than Cheapside or the City road, for procuring a stock to take home.

I have tried the specimens of pencils you were so kind as to send me, and I have ao hesitation in stating that, in my opinion, they possess every quality, in a superior degree, that the artist can require. Believe me. my dear sir, yours very truly, To William Broekedon; Esq., F.R.S. E. DIIIICAN. Extract from " Ele:nents of Art," by J. D. Harding, Eeq., p. 94. - Third Edition. • "Recently the quality of lead pencils, both for purposes of art and for general use, has been greatly imprOved,in consequence of the dis covery, made by my friend Mr. Brockedon, of the mode of preparing pure plumbago. For years no fresh lead has been obtained from the Cumberland mines, and the last having been exhausted long ago, lead pencils were getting every day worse, and insufferable from grit. To remedy this, composition pencils have been manufactured ; but these possess no lustre or depth of colour, and it is difficult, some times impossible, to efface their markings. By Mr. Brockedou's invention we obtain the pure black lead in all its lustre and depth of colour, without a p article of grit, and of any degree of hardness or softness ; and the markings from are all easily effaced. So great is the improvementin all respects, even over the pure plumbago in its native state, thati t may truly be said that until now a perfect lead pencil has been unknown. Lead pencils from Mr. Brockedon's Pure Plumbago are now manufactured by Messrs. Mordon and Co.'; : and by Messrs. Winair andliewton." Extract from an Address delivered at the Anniversary Meeting of the Geological Society of London, 1546, by Leonard Homer,' V.P.R.S., President of the Society. "Every year has disclosed new facts in confirmation of the theory, that accumulations of detrital matter were transformed into their pre sent condition mainly by the action of heat, accompanied by other che mical actions, and the powerful agency of steam and elastic forces under enormous pressure. A very ingenious process, invented by Mr. Brokedon, described in a short paper read before us last year, by which he converts, under very powerful pressure, the powder of graphite into a solid tnass having a conchoidal fracture, and undistin-'- guishable from the most compact utilise black lead, shows that pres sure alone may convert fine detrital matter into solid stone.

OPENING OF THE PORTS LORD RUSSELL and Co., it appears, have resolv'd To amend the dilemma In which we're involv'd, And the ports of the realm, which so long have been shut, Will, doubtless, be open'd without " if" or " bat." Yon perhaps may suppose, from the way we commons% We shall write in a strictly political sense ; But no, worthy reader, E. MOSES and SON In political matters would meddle with none. The ports being open'd to let in the grain Will be treated in rather a different strain. E. MOSES an SON have their own open ports, For matchless habiliments—dress of all sins. By MOSES and SON was the first effort made To open the ports in the tailoring trade. They expos'd the high prices which gevern'd the day, And threw down the barrier that lay in the way; And quickly Economy's flag was unfurl'd To all in the widely-inhabited world. E. MOSES and SON lave created a stir Throughout the vast realm by the good they confer And none can be found in the kingdom dispos'd For the ports of E. MOSES and SON to be clos'd. LIST OF PRICES.

As the navigadon laws are suspended for the present by an Act which, although only introduced to the House of Commons on Wednesday week, received the royal assent on Tuesday last, the following brief history of their first institution, and of the purposes for which they were framed, may be of some interest to our readers : _ . The navigation laws form (formed) an important branch of maritime law. In this country they are un derstood to comprise the various Acts that have been passed defining British ships, the way in which such ships are to be manned, the peculiar privileges enjoyed by them, and the conditions under which foreign ships shall-be allowed to engage in the trade of the country, either as importers or exporters of commodities, or as carriers of commodities from one part of the country to the other: The Origin of the navigation laws may . be traced to the reign of Richard 11., or, perhaps, to a still more remote period ; but as no intelligible account of the vaaying and contradictory enactments framed at so distant an epoch could be compressed within ony reasonable space, it is sufficient to observe, that in the reign of Henry VII., two of the leading principles of the navigation laws were dis tinctly recognised in the prohibition of the importation of certain commodities unless imported in ships belonging to English owners, and manned by English seamen. In the early part of the reign of Elizabeth, foreign ships were excluded from our fisheries and coasting trade. The republican Parliament gave a great extension to the navigation laws; by the Act of 1650, which prohi bited all ships of all foreign nations whatever from trading with the plantations in America without having obtained a licence. These Acts were, however, rather intended to regulate the trade between the different ports and dependencies of the empire, than to regulate our intercourse with foreigners. . In the following year (1651) the-republican Parliament passed the famous Act of Navigation. This Act had a double object It 4v;s-j4-10.94 1 ed not, only to,Promote - our own navigation, the Plig L , ; 4 ll lo4 ,i; WM' eU gfle .... . —- - carrying, tats4 2 de.of ‘tana:ntprldi and egidast.'Wlicidetars.,— circumstankat.fiact- tratispired4o„incepapaikalEtiVials'.

' These laws `continued.in'lorce till the beginning of the present century. 'Considerable changes were effected in them by Mr.-Wallace, in 1821, and by Mr. Huskisson, in 1825;and partly' by the adoption of what has been called the • reciprocity ' System. Under the Act 6th George IV., cap. 109; the intercourse of all European countries in amity with Great Britain'svas placed on the same footing.

This was obviously a very great hardship on the foreigner, without being of any real advantage to the shipowners. When the foreign mer ' chant had yei;sels of his own, it was not very probable that he would permit them to remain unoccupied, and freight a British vessel; and there were very few ports of any importance in which foreign bottoms might not be found, in which the articles could be legally im ported. Besides'the restrictive regulations already alluded to, it had been a part of our policy to.enchoiur h a e g r e the ens ployment of our shipping b y imposing $ duties on com modities imported into o ur harbours in foreign ves sels than were imposed on them customary nimported in British vessels, and it had als o been d li g hthouse duties. This system was always loudlyport a n to charge foreign v essels with higher complained of by foreigners ; but we had little difficulty in maintaining it, so long as manuf a ctures enabled us to disregard the state of our the retaliatory measuree of other powers. But the ex• traordintiry increase that took place since the com mencement of the late war in our manufactories for foreign consumption, and the necessity under which we were in consequence placed of conciliating our cus tomers abroad, led to the adoption of the reciprocity sys tem. Thi s system was first introduced into the trade with the United States. After the North American Co lonies bad succeeded in establishing their independence, they set about framing a code of navigation laws on the model of those of this country. Among other regu lations of a restrictive character it was enacted that all fo • reign vessels trading to the United states should pay half a dollar, which was afterwards raised to a dollar per ton duty beyond what was paid by American ships, and further that goods imported in foreign vessels should pay a duty of 10 per cent., over and above what was payable on the same description of goods imported in American vessels. The law. was avowedly directed against the navigation laws of Great Britain, though, as it was bottomed upon the very same principles as our navigation laws, we could not openly complain of its operation. Various devices were fallen upon to counteract the navigation system of the Americans, but they all failed in their object. In consequence, the conviction of the necessity of making concessions gained ground progressively ; and it was ultimately fixed by the commercial treaty agreed upon between Great Britain and the United States in 1815, that in future equal charges should be imposed on the ships of either country in the ports of the other, and that equal duties should be laid upon all articles the pro duce of the one country imported into the other, whether such importation were effected in the ships of the one or the other. The principle of the reciprocity system having been thus conceded in the case of the intercourse with the United States, whose commercial marine is second only to that of Great Britain, it was not possible to re fuse acting on the same principle in the case of such other European countries as might choose to admit our ships into their ports on a footing of equality. Accord ingly, after more protracted diplomatic negotiations, a commercial treaty, based on the reciprocity system, was' made with Prussia, Denmark, and Sweden. On that occasion (12th of May, 1826) Mr. Huskisson, in his speech, said— " By others, it may be said your duty was to retaliate by increasing your own port charges, and discriminating duties on British shipping. I have already stated gene rally my reasons against the policy of this latter course. We were not prepared to begin a system of commercial hostility, which, if followed up on both sides to its legi timate consequences, could only tend to reciprocal pros titution. In this state of things, more prudently, as I contend, we entered upon an amicable negotiation with the Prussian Government, upon the principle of our treaty with the United States—that of abolishing on both sides all discriminating duties on the ships and goods of the respective countries in the ports of the other." With respect to the general policy of the navigation laws, Adam Smith, in his " Wealth of Nations," vol. ii. p. 29, says— " When the Act of Navigation was made, though England and Holland were not actually at the twoat war, the most violent animosity subsi sted b nations.

TILE REGENT'S CANAL RAILWAY.-At the Mstryle bone Vestry, on Saturday, the committee appointed to oppose the formation of this railway brought up their report, by which it was stated that the property in Marylebone to be tunnelled under and removed, would amount to 3,8891!, and the rental of the property im mediately affected by the proposed railway amounted to 6,4001., besides the injury that would be done to the chapel in Aberdeen-place. The report also contained a statement that a deputation, consisting of Crown tenants and others, waited upon the Right Honourable Lord Morpeth, and his Lordship, after hearing the various complaints, informed the deputation that he would con sider the application, both legally and morally, and then decide upon the principles of justice.' The following communication was read from Mr. Edwin Landseer : My Lords and Gentlensen,—Having been informed that the projected railway from Euston-square to Pad dington has claimed your attention, I beg respect fully to represent to you the injury which I am likely to sustain if such project should be carried into effect. The house in which I reside was built by myself at a great expense, and as my professional pursuits require studious and other accommodation not to be met with in ordinary houses, no compensation which a railway company will be likely to give would be an equivalent for the loss I should sustain in the event of a railway, or any other nuisance, obliging me to quit the neighbourhood. I selected this locality for my residence on account of the quiet retirement which it affords, and which is to me of great importance. Aecording to the plan contemplated I understand that the opening of a tunnel will be at the bottom of my garden, and I shall be continually annoyed by the noise of the engine and railway whistle, besides losing a portion of my garden, and a plantation now forming the boundary of my pre mises. I fully anticipate that this annoyance would oblige me to leave the neighbourhood, in which case I should be under the necessity of building myself another house, an undertaking which would involve a very great expense, as well as a serious sacrifice of time.

Lord Howden left London for Paris on Friday evening.

Lord Howden's departure for South America, as British Minister at the Court of Brazil, was deemed a fit ting opportunity for the two Governments, acting in concert, to arm him with powers and instructions to bring the , quar rels of the belligerent republics to a peaceful adjustment. PRICE OF CORN AT PENRITH. —The Queen's Speech has had a wonderful effect in Penrith market. Ac cording to the Inspectors return it will be seen that wheat was only llid. short of 4/. per qr., but on Tuesday it had a serious fall, being 3s. or 4s. per bushel lower; other grain was down in proportion.

Upwards of two millions of inhabitants had been conveyed over the line during the last six months without injury to a single passenger, a fact which the directors felt a natu ral cause for congratulation.—(Hear, hear.) After al luding to the extensions referred to in the report, the Chairman remarked that he thought, now the temporary excitement in the railway world had subsided, there was little fear of any interference with private enterprise by the Imperial Parliament, and concluded his address by formally moving the adoption of the report. The DEPUTY CHAIRMAN seconded the motion. Mr. MERCER, of Bristol, wished before the report was put to the meeting, to inquire what was the financial conditions of the Birmingham and Bristol line. There was no mention made of this in the report, and was there a profit or loss upon it ? The CHAIRMAN said there were good and substantial reasons for not rendering this account at the present moment. Negociations were now in progress, the re sult of which he bad no doubt would be satisfactory to all parties.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. BRANCKER, of Liverpool, wished an explanation of an item he did not understand in the creditor and debtor account which had been issued to the share holders ; he alluded to the sum of 5,866/. ss. 2d., placed under th head of " Compensation Account ?" The CHAIRMAN replied that out of this amount a large sum had been paid to the surviving members of the family of Mr. Bowler, who was unfortunately killed during last year near Masborough. He had wished to make up a subscription, and offered to head the list with a donation of 5001., but it had been thought advisable the sum should be paid out of the company's funds, and thus it appeared in the accounts. ' Mr. BRANCKER thought the chairman's explanation on this point quite satisfactory, but before he sat down he wished to urge the propriety of the company following the example of other companies, and become carriers on their own account ? The CHAIRMAN expressed some surprise at the Hon. Proprietor's question, and read from an official return for the half year the respective amounts of tonnage car ried by the company themselves, and also by the car riers. They were as follows :—By the company, 189,000 tons : by the carriers, 126,000. He (the chairman) would never be a party to exclude the carriers from the line, inasmuch as he considered while they paid the company's rate of charge they were fairly entitled to use the railway.—(Hear.) Mr. BRANCKER said the Midland Company had under taken a great many employments, but in the accounts issued to the proprietors no mention was made of the profit or loss accruing on each. lle thought this was an omission which should be rectified, and he should urge it again and again until it was. The CHAIRMAN complained of the apparent imputa tion on the competency of the directors conveyed in the proprietor's question. He for one was not all ambitions to continue in the office he now held unless the directory o of f w th h e i cshhha shareholders. — ( Hear, If Hcoonn fi .dce nbeerarp,oshseeasrs.r)d thefull a ers m .— ein ( that now the consAidation of all the lines had taken Pro prietor knew anything of the matter he must see at once place, if separate accounts for each were required an ad ditional secretary , a nd a double set of c l erks, at least, would be required.

PROPRIETOR was very an x i ous as t o th e f u ture A prospects of the Leeds and Bradford branch. He fear( d it would be a losing speculation. The CHAIRMAN said the debtor and creditor account would shortly be published, and it' the shareholders did not like it, he would take the line off their hands himself. Some further questions on matters of minor importance having been put, and answered most satisfactorily, it was unanimously agreed to award a sum of 5001. to a committee of five of the directors who had been specially selected to superintend the purchase of land, &c., re quired for the new lines. The retiring directors having been re.elected, Mr. RUMMY proposed, and Mr. GRAND seconded, a vote of thanks to the directors, which was carried by acclama tion, the meeting broke up.
