By Her Majesty's Royal Letters Patent. PHOTOGRAPHIC PORTRAITS TAKEN BY THE REFLECTION OF LIGHT, AT THE MOUNT GARDENS, ST. JA 'S WALK, LIVERPOO 9 - 1 HE Proprietors of the RIFLE ING APPARATUS, by which FAITHFUL MINIATURE LIKENESSES of the Human Countenance and Person are " won from the hand of Nature" in the short space of a few seconds, respect fully announce to the Nobility, Gentry, and inhabitants of Lancashire, that the Extraordinary Process WILL OPEN ON FRIDAY NEXT. The Corporation of Liverpool having granted the site of the late OBSERVATORY, ST. JAMES'S WALK, a neat and elegant Building has been erected thereon, in which the PHOTOGRAPHIC APPARATUS, the discovery of which is ranked among the greatest scientific achievements of th e present age, will be in DAILY. OPERATION. THE PRICE FOR EACH PORTRAIT, INCLUDING A FRAME, IS ONE GUINEA. JOHN RELPH, Manager. The Invention was recently introduced into England, at the ROYAL POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTION, LONDON ; and the following are a few extracts from the leading Journals relating to its merits : (From the Times.) THE PHOTOGRAPHIC MINIATURES.—The principle has been so far perfected as to be almost incapable of further improvement. The novelty attendant upon the fact of being furnished in the short space of five seconds with a more correct miniature likeness than the most accom plished artist could paint on ivory, after days of laborious study, coupled with the fineness of the weather, drew together a host of curious fashionables, at the Poly technic Institution, so many, indeed, that notwithstanding the short period of time occupied in the operation, the room was crowded for hours together, by parties anxiously waiting their turn. The apartment appropriated for the magical process—for so it may-be termed—is well calculated for the object desired, being on the highest story of the institution. From the roof, which is constructed of blue glass; of about a quarter of an inch thick, a very powerful light is obtained, and it is so ingeniously contrived as to revolve with the sun. In a portion of the' room, nearly in the centre, an elevated .-,eat is placed, on which the party whose likeness is' to be taken sits, with his head reclined baawards. In this posi tion the sitter is told to look into a glass box, in an opposite direction, about five from him, in which is placed the plate to be impressed with the portrait. Having done so for a few seconds, he descends, and in a few minutes afterwards a likeness is presented to him. The likenesses which we saw were admirable, and closely true to nature, beauties and de formities being alike exhibited ; therefore those who are ashamed of their personal appearance had better keep from the influence of photography. (From the Morning Chronicle.) When we formerly described this process, the time requi site for taking a portrait was, generally speaking, about four minutes ; but in consequence of the great improvements that have been made, the time has been reduced to about five se conds on a clear day ; but during cloudy dull weather the operation may require from a minute and a half to two mi nutes. The portraits taken by this means are really extraordinary as likenesses ; they are true to nature, for nature here is her own delineator. The features are admirably marked out and delineated, and the likenesses at first sight are so extraordi nary, that they are really startling. (From the Morning Advertiser.) PHOTOGRAPHIC LIKENESSES. — One of the most inter esting sights it is possible to conceive is now attracting crowds daily to the Polytechnic Institution, Regent•street. The patentee has christened it the " photographic mode of taking likenesses." By this process, in the incredibly short space of five seconds, the likeness of any individual is taken down on a piece of metal, and the portrait is a perfect fac simile of the sitter. It is nature herself that is called in to be the artist, and her performance is truly astonishing, leaving immeasurably behind it everything that human skill could effect (From the Morning Herald.) PHOTOGRAPHIC PORTRAITS.—We were present on Sa turday at the exhibition of the extraordinary process of taking portraits by the reflecting apparatus, lately patented, and now for the first time brought before the public. By the photographic progress, perfect likenesses are taken. in the short space of from ten to five and twenty seconds! We say perfect, because the prepared plate on which the objects is reflected must of necessity produce a pe.rfect transcript of that object. The operation , there fore, being thus unerring, the fault of even the slightest fa ilure in likeness can only be attributable to the person sitting, which, of course, may result from an assumed or unnatural position. Although the exhibition has been only of a private character, and of some two or three days, we understand that it has been visited by all the parties possessing the privilege. Among other influential personages present OR Saturdey, we noticed the Earl of Shaftesbury, who expressed his surprise and gratification at the extraordinary invention. (From the Court Journal.) PHOTOGRAPHIC LIKENESSES.—We attended yesterday at the private view given by the patentee of the reflecting ap paratus at the Polytechnic Institution, by which photographic likenesses are taken, and with the greatest accuracy, in a period varying from five to twenty seconds. We were de lighhted with the exhibition. (From the Morning Post.) The patentee of invention has adopted the principle of giving these " reflections" to the public at a very moderate cost, co mpared to the ordinary price of miniatures, trusting for his return to a general desire to possess them, which he anticipates must be felt by all persons who would cherish the best memento of a dear friend or relative. (From the Courier.) _ _ _ " Every line, every touch in the pictrue produced is from the pencil of nature, without flattery or fallacy." (From the Weekly Dispatch.) PHOTOGRAPHIC PORTRAITS.—We took an opportunity on Monday cf again visiting the Polytechnic Institution, to witness the astonishing manner in which portraits are taken y the photographic process. The room was crowded with nobility and gentry, among whom we noticed Lord Aber deen, and several other persons of rank, each of whom, in the warmest terms, expressed their delight and astonishment at the rapidity with which the portraits of different gentle- men were taken, and the extreme fidelity in the execution. It is, in fact, impossible for the portraits to he any thinE short of a complete copy of nature. (From the Observer.) PHOTOGRAPHIC PORTRAITS.—The appearance of the miniature thus produced is that of a mezzotint engraving, the likeness being no question of opinion, but a plain matter of fact, for nature in this, as in other similar operations, makes "no mistake." There is such subtilty of touch and tone in the likeness as might fill a Vandyke or a Lawrence at once with delight and despair. Altogether this is a most wonderful and extraordinary exhibition. Those who in por traiture are fond of being "flattered," will certainly not patronise the photographic method of taking likenesses ; but, on the other hand, they who want the real thing, and we presume them to be the majority, will unquestionably spend a guinea with great willingness in the production of a minia ture portrait which their fathers and mothers, wives, sisters, and brothers may " swear to. Separate rooms are also approrriated to ladies and gentlemen, and a female attendant waits upon the former to assist in arranging the dress so as to produce the most desirable pictorial effect. (From the Naval and Military Gazette.) PHOTOGRAPHIC PORTRAITS. —For some time it was doubted whether Photography could ever be brought to operate satisfactorily on the human face and form, so as to enable the artist to take an unerring and effective likeness, the slightest motion inevitably destroying the picture in its progrees. Ingennity, perseverance, and repeated experiments, have at length completely t r iumphed over the difficulty ; and miniatur e p ortra i ts, infallibly faithful, are now taken, from a tatting of from five to tiventy seconds ; the time varying according to the intensity of light. (From Belt's TVeekly Messenger.) EXTRAORDINARY FACT.—MINIATURE PICTURES.—Tt is bodily and personally the individual who is the sitter. It is as much so, as he sees himself in the most accurate looking glass, but with this difference, that the Photographic likeness is the image as if it were removed from the surface of the mirror, and rendered perpetual. It is an everlasting memo rial of the man at the moment it is taken—and therefore the most precious gift that can be given to those who love him while living, and will cherish his memory when dead. It is a discovery, which not only saves the sitter from the tedium of being fixed in the same position for many an hour for his likeness, (for this is accomplished in the sixth part of a mi nute) —but it affords to artists themselves the surest *nide other likenesses, w h et h er i n m i n i a t ur e, or in oil furpaintingscopyingas large as life.

The public now know whose j dgment of the Chi nese has proved correct, CAPTAIN ELLIOT'S or CAPTAIN ; and they see that CAPTAIN PIDDING'S predic tion has been verified to the letter. " YANG," the Chinese definition of whose name is " The Central Fire," has suc ceeded Ke-shin. " 1 ANG " has officially recommended " the withholding all tea from the English, until their sup ply is quite exhausted," when he foretels that " they will become reverently submissive, and give gold for the precious leaf." Commodore Bremer's despatch mentions that " the Chinese had removed all the tea from Canton," and the statement ;that " 200,000 Chinese were ready to sack and burn the city," is singularly prophetic of Yang's name. CAPrAIN PIDDING still thinks that the force sent out will be found insufficient to coerce Chirp, that no tea will come out whilst bullets pour in, and that " teas will be dearer than ever." CAPTAIN PIDDING'S Teas were formerly sold under the title of " Howqua's Mixture," and " Howqua's Small Leaf Gunpowder" ; hut hundreds of Grocers and Tea dealers, anxious to profit by the celebrity of tea which lie alone imports, and which they found it impossible to procure, have given the same title to rubb ish of their own mixin g , s o that there is now scarce one but has his " Howqua's," " Mowques," " Saoqua's," or some other mixture. Against such imposition, the only security' is • " CAPTAIN PIDDING'S NAME." This they have not het forged, and his signature is on every really genuine package.

THE MARCHIONESS OF CAMDEN.- The above-named lady has been appointed one of the ladies in waiting to her majesty. There is rather a curious circumstance with re ference to her connection with the court of Queen Victoria, which occurred when her majesty came to the throne. Princess Victoria (the Queen) was a resident at Ramsgate, about six years ago. During her sojourn there she became acquainted with Miss Murray, the daughter of the Bishop of Rochester. The princess and Miss Murray, being about the same age, became very intimate. When the court of the Queen was in progress of formation npon her accession, s h e expressed her pleasure that " M;ss Alurray should be one of her maids of honour." On the morning after this expression, a letter was received at Buckingham Palace from a Lady Elizabeth Murray, in Scotland, requesting an appointment hadlie vse so specially to be the for her daughter as one of the maids of honou r. Through some unaccountable mistak e the writer was be parent of the young lady whom her majest y Na slnot t to long he inr dtaakughlligter's place; forit named. She therefore r eceived an answer b y return of post, signifying her majesty'sconsent appoint ment. The cdenouement v a few days, instead of her , majesty's ve r y b eautiful and wished for friend, another younb l,dy made her appearance at court. Explanations ensued, but it was considered too late to annul the appointment. Not long afterwards the daughter of the Bishop of Roch ester marri ed the Marquis of Camden, and she is now principal lady of th e b e d chamber, and one of the few female appointments of the court that give general satis fsction.—Gla6gow Chro,i;cie.

With his Scientific Apparatus, Impenetrable Arcana, Incalculable Combinations, .Itlconceivabla Delusions, with his extraordinary power of Ambidexterous Prestidigitation, " You'd think (so far his art transcends) The dei'l was in his fingers ends." The Great Wizard will continue every evening " To wave his mystic wand around, And critics think it is enchanted ground." " The Wizard much has done—much more remains to do ; He has astonished London, and will this town too." He will nightly continue to display his wonders, and demon strate that "there are more strange things in Heaven and Earth than are dream't of in your philosophy." Remember the Wizard's present stay in Liverpool can be but of short duration, as the Theatre will open almost immediately for its theatrical season. One word more to those who seek amusement. If you visit the Great Wizard of the North's Temple of Magic you will find that it has overwhelming advantages over all public exhibitions :—First, cheapness; second, its truly scientific na ture; third, you are not kept till after midnight; last, its total divestment of immorality.

FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE AUSTRALIA Sydney papers to the Sth of May state that the moral condition of the colony had greatly degenerated ; that the crime and dissatisfaction was not so much to be ascribed to the aborigines and bushrangers, as to the convict servants and the very questionable character of both sexes introduced by the late wholesale system of emigration. The affairs of the Australian Auction Company, a joint stock project which is involved in considerable difficulties through the loose and unsatisfactory manner in which it has been ma naged, were under the revision of the shareholders, who appear to imagine that the delinquencies, if any there be, should be publicly exposed as a tit lesson to others to be more prudent and circumspect in entering into any such spe culations, whether in the character of managers, directors, or shareholders. Money was still scarce at Sydney as well as at Port Philip, and trade was bad. The natives in the Hume River districts had been troublesome to the settlers. Two or three notorious bushrangers had been captured for their depredations, but, after being tried and convicted, had managed to escape. Sydney wheat was 4s. per bushel, and Derwent 10s. per bushel. The weather, having been rainy, had given a favourable stimulus to agriculture. At One Shilling per lb., which, compared with the light given, is cheaper n the commonest Tallow Candle.

WEST INDIES A. file of Demerara papers to the 12th of Augtist by a pri vate ship adds no particular information to the news which was received by the last West India mail. As no mention is made of any disturbances having occurred on the "first" of August, it is concluded that the celebration of that anniver sary was of a peaceable kind. The bickerings between the governor and some of the colonists who happened to be poli tically opposed to him are the only interruptions to the harmonious working of affairs out there. Trade continued depressed. BUENOS AYRES AND RIO D E JANEIRO Buencs Ayres papers of the 29th of July have arrived, but they communicate no movement of the naval forces of the contend;ng republics. The exchange upon London was, as before, 2d. per paper dollar, and discounts 1 to 2 per cent. per month. 103 vessels were in port on the 28th, the distri bution of which give the greatest number as British, American, and French. Dates from Rio de Janeiro to the 13th of July give the ex change upon England 301 to 31d. The London merchants have opened a subscription for the relief of the sufferers by the great fire at Smyrna, on the 29th of July, and have already made considerable progress in their collections. The particulars of this fire are most distressing : nearly 35,000 persons were left without home or refuge, and of this number 7,000 subsist by charity. AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF A ROGUE.—At the last assizes at Bedford, a fellow named Thomas Rainbow, was convicted of highway robbery and transported for life. A few days ago he was removed to the Justitia hulk at Woolwich, and has given the following statement of his roguish career to the governor of Bedford gaol :—" I am now about 30 years of age; when a boy about nine years old, I was empbyed as A bird-keeper in the corn-fields. I saw the fine pheasants walking through the corn, and I thought I should like some of them. Upon making inquiry of some young men i n the village, I was informed how to catch them, and bought two gins (rat -traps), and seldom went home empty handed ; but I did not make much of them, as I sold them to the young men for a trifle. In a very short time 1 found a better mar ket; this caused me to look out for hares, and led on from one thing to another, such as visiting gardens and orchards, and stealing wood, fowls, ducks, or anythingthatcam ; e in my way. Soon after this I fell in with a gang of poachers we were not satisfied with the profits of day poaching—we took to a worse step, night poachink u a m nd u s i p is en t d in in le g w ou e r v d ; ays half drunk in the public-houses. could lay our hands on. In 183 1 0 out by night, armed with guns, and took all the game we com panions, was sent to gaol for boll' s le house-breaking, i ounge, butof quitted. At the assizes in 1832 out the bill. In the saPmee ye m a g r , l w w h a e s n ag t a h i sent to gaol for night- oa li. , I with another e gy n o d t w ae i : i l s -t grand jury threw a third companion, for _ a burglary, and again acquitted. In the following year ' e n committed, with I was again committed for fowl -stealing, and once more acquitted. Not so in 1834; I was, with another of our gang, committed for poaching in the night, armed with a gun, convicted, and had to dance the treadmill for a year—l expected transportation, but the judge did not order it. From the year 1828, up to the present time, I have been in the gaol or house of correction 12 or 13 times ! Two of my companions before alluded to as having been committed with me, are transported for oth er crimes in the county of H—. 'I escaped from the officers, or must have shared the same fate. About the year 1837 we committed a highway rebbery, and soon after went into Wales, got work in the iron mines, and could earn about 18s. a-week. Thi s did not last long ; we returned to our old courses, and tra velled from place to place, stealing from houses and persons, as often as we were in ne ed. We seldom went out until we had spent all we bad obtained from the last plunder. Cash and watches are w hatwe had most of, but sometimes we have had some plate; never had any difficulty of disposing of the property we bad stolen. Ido not remember ever m t • hurting any one; if any resistance was offered (which a crially tuber was seldom), we gave them a - from our nu scoteeze • • until the cash and tickers (watches) were taken from them. I think I have been en g a g ed in near 200 rob • eries, and I know of many more that I had no h an d iti.,,
