" - ,or" The Dreaded Hour," was appoint ed Commissioner at Canton, and every Journal headed the intelligence then received with " Settlement of the Chi nese Dispute—Three Millions to be paid the English—Trade resumed at Canton," &c., CAPTAIN PIDDING'S 18 years' experience of the Chinese told him that his country men had been duped : and he predicted that, " though Ke shin might promise millions, he would never pay a dollar ; that, instead of resuming trade, he would enforce its stop page, to keep the English without tea ; " and that " Elliot would rue the hour" when he first relied on Ke-shin's pro mises. The public now know whose judgment of the Chi nese has proved correct, CAPTAIN ELLIOT'S or CAPTAIN PIDDING'S ; 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. " YANG " has officially recommended " the withholding all tea from the English, until their sup ply is quite exhausted," when he foretell 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. CAPTAIN PIDDING still thinks that the force sent out will be found insufficient to coerce. China, 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'a Mixture," and " Howqua's Small Leaf Gunpowder" ; but hundreds of Grocers and Tea dealers, anxious to profit by the celebrity of tea which he alone imports, and which they found it impossible to procure, have gi ven t h e same t i t l e t o ru bbish of their own 'nixing ; so that th ere i s now scarce one b u t has his " Howqua s," " Mowque s ," " Saoqua's," or some other mixture. Against such impositi on , the only security is " " CAPTAIN PIDDING'S NAME. This they have not yet forged, and his signature is on every really genuine package.

The above advertisement was submitted to Mr. DAVID MARPLES before circulation ; he stated that it entirely co incided with his opinion of the transaction, and that he con sidered A. N. was entitled to compensation to the amount of ten or fifteen per cent. off the valuation in consequence of Mr. Davenport having established another Printing Office in Liverpool, as he should have allowed that difference in the valuation had Mr. D. disclosed his intentions. . .. _.. _.. . Mr. JOHN HARRISON .. also expressed in strong terms his dissatisfaction at the valuation when he heard that Mr. D. intended to commence another Office.

AN APPEAL FOR A POOR CURATE NEARLY BLIND SOME friends of the Rev. J. W. Gowring, in considera tion of his very afflicted case having, without his know ledge, begun a private subscription in his behalf, it has been determined to bring it before the Christian public, in the hope that something will be done towards the support of a very able minister of the Church of England, whose eyesight has completely failed him for most of the duties of his office. For, although he is just able to see his way in walking, he cannot discern the largest print, nor indeed any object what ever distinctly ; and it is the opinion of his medical advisers, that the case may even end in total blindness. As his mental and bodily powers remain unimpaired, and as his knowledge of Scripture is considered very extraordi nary by every one who hears him, it is possible that, by and b y, h e m ay meet with some occupation in the Church—as a lectureship, where the reading of the Church Service would not be required of him ; and for this kind of duty he would be admirably adapted by his gift of extempore preaching. He was compelled to resign his Curacy, where he was fa voured by many privileges, and surrounded by almost every comfort for four years. He has sought the most eminent advice in the kingdom, and still his sight is becoming gradu ally worse, so that he felt it right no longer to remain in a situation where an assistant curate has been maintained for some time, for the sole purpose of affording him every possi ble means of recovery. He is left without the least means of support, except £7 a-year, arising from sums invested in the Savings' Bank, and except such as may be afforded him by friends. Relations he has none to rely upon, and the little property which he was expecting through his wife will probably be lost to his family by the conduct of an attorney. He closes a statement of his case to the Bishop of Ripon in these words : " I am in my thirty-first year, and have a wife and one child three years old ; and unless the Lord in his good Pro vidence should see fit to provide something for our support, I know not what is to become of us, as we have not a single relation who is at all able to assist us, and the stipend arising from my present curacy will cease in about a fortnight. " The prospect before we is but a melancholy one as to temporal concerns, and yet I feel persuaded that my present affliction is sent by the Lord for some wise but mysterious purpose. In the midst of all my trials my mind is not par ticularly disturbed, as I firmly depend upo n th e wor d o f Jehovah, ' Trust in the Lord, and do good; so that thou shalt dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed.'

In offering you my services in the Town-council, it is un necessary for me to say much on political questions. I have ever steadily adhered to Conservative principles, and, at the present time, my conviction is, that those principles carried out into practice will be most conducive to the happiness and welfare of the community; and, strongly attached to the Established Church, I consider religious Education its best safeguard. As I have been long resident in the Ward, and have every wish to promote its welfare, you may rely upon my best ex ertions being used in all questions relating to your particular interests, as well as to the prosperity of the Town at large, should it be your pleasure to Elect me as one of yonr Repre sentatives in the Town-council. I am, Gentlemen, lour most obedient Servant, THOMAS SHAVb Everton Village, 19th October, 1841 TO THE ELECTORS OF RODNEY-STREET WARD. GENTLEMEN, THE period will shortly arrive when I must resign the trust which you have been pleased to repose in me. During the six years in which I have had the honour of re presenting you in Council, I have endeavoured to discharge my duties faithfully, and I can only assure you that, it will be my anxious desire to merit your approbation, should von again think fit to return me as your REPRESENTATIVE, although I think you might base selected a fitter Candidate. Believe me, Your most obedient Servant, HENRY LAWRENCE Rodney-street, October 20th, 1841. TO THE ELECTORS OF NORTH TOXTETH WARD. GENTLEMEN, HAVING been requested to offer myself again as a CAN DIDATE to represent you in the Town-council, I cheerfully respond to the call, feeling that I am deeply in debted to you for the kindness which you displayed towards me in November last, when I was elected one of the Coun cillors for the Ward. My principles are the same now that they were then, and must be known to all of you. Should you do me the honour to elect me again one of your Repre sentatives, it will be my duty and anxious desire to dc.) all that lies in my power to promote the general welfare of the community, and to watch over the local interests of Toxteth park in particular. With every feeling of gratitude and esteem, I have the honour to be, Gentlemen Your obliged and humble servant, ALEXANDER SMITH, Jun Fair-view House, Toxteth-park, October 18th, 1811. TO THE INDEPENDENT ELECTORS OF GREAT GEORGE WARD GENTLEMEN, TT was not my intention again to offer myself as a CAN 1. DI DATE for the Representation of this Ward in Council at the coming Election, but, from the ntimerons solicitations of respectable and influential persons, I have, with consider able reluctance, consented, for the third time, to be put in nomination. I have represented the Ward nearly six years, and for many years previous to that period, devoted a considerable portion of My time as a Member of Committees connected with the management of our local affairs, and can truly say, I have endeavoured to discharge the arduous duties devolving upon me, from my connexion therewith, faithfully and inde pendently, and,in so doing, I cannot suppose I have forfeited the confidence of those who have hitherto supported me. If, Gentlemen, you should again elect me as your Repre sentative, I pledge myself to do all in my power to promote the general interests of the Town, and particularly the Ward in which I have so long resided and feel so deep an interest, and I can assure you, that nothing will afford me greater pleasure than being instrumental in promoting the prosperity and happiness of the people. I have the honour to he, with great respect, Your obedient Servant, JAMES LAWRENCE. Park-hill, Oct. 18th, 1841.

It will form a Companion to the Exterior View, both in size and price. *** Mr. LAcEy purposes to present each Subscriber to these Prints, without charge, with a Copperplate Engraving of the OLD CHAPEL, from a Drawing, made shortly after it was erected. IMuntapal Cierttini: e_-t—E IS NOW OPEN. 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 the present age, is now 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 MlNlATurcEs.—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 skin. In a portion of the room, nearly in the centre, an elevated seat is placed, on which the party whose likeness is to be taken sits, with his head reclined backwards. 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 Mornina 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 perfect transcript of that object. The operation, therefore, being thus unerring, the fault of even the slightest failure 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 1-een visited by all the parties possessing the privilege. Among other influential personages present on Saturday, we noticed the Earl of Shaftesbury, who expressed his surprise and gratification at the extraordinary invention. (From the Court Journal.) PitoTom:Arnie 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 lighlited with the exhibition. (From the Morning Post.) The patentee of this invention has adopted the principle of giving these " reflections" to the public at a very moderate cost, compared 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 TT eekly Dispatch.) PHOTOGRAPHIC PORTRAITS.—WC • took an opportunity on Monday cf again visiting the Polytechnic Institution, to witness the astonishing manner in which portraits arc taken by 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 be any thing short of a complete copy of nature. (Front 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 till 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 appropriated 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. Ingenuity, perseverance, and repeated experiments, have at length completely triumphed over the difficulty ; and \ miniature portraits, infallibly faithful, are now taken, from a sittting of frogs five to twenty seconds; the time varying ' according to the intensity of light. (From Bell's Weekly Messenger.) EXTRAORDINARY FACT.--MINIATURE PICTUREg•—it is bodily and personally the individual who is the sitter. It is as much so, as he sees himself in tile most accurate looking glass, but with this difference, that the Photograpkic 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 guide for copying other likenesses, whether in miniature, or in oil paintings as large as life.
