JOHN RELPH, Manager. Specimens may be seen, and Orders reee'ved. at Mr. LA CET'S REPOSITORY OF ARTS, 100, Bold-sleet. 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 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 aminute and a half to two minutes. 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. JOHN EVANS, (SCALE-BEAM MAKER TO HER MAJESTY,) GENERAL FURNISHING IRONMONGER, CUT LER, AND BRAZIER, LIVERPOOL, OST respectfully returns his sincere thanks to his ml - merous Friends and the Public generally for the kind support and flattering encouragement he has met with for several years.

Every attention being paid to this Manufacture, the Pro prietor, in confidence, recommends these goods as first-rate ; in fact some of the crops have been cut, at least, twenty-five years ; and as the stock of varnished crops is seldom less than 1000 dozens, something choice may at all times be selected by Gentlemen that are particular in this necessary, elegant, and useful article. A large supply of Patent Sheep Skin Gig and Chariot Rugs, and in sets for Hall and Parlour Doors. (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 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 i 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 Me 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 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 been visited by all the parties possessing the privilege. Among other influential personages present on 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 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 Bell': Weekly Messenger.) EXTRAORDINARY FACT.—MINIATURE PICTURES.-4t 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 Phot og raphi c lik eness 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. (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 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. (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 appropriated to ladies and gentlemen, and a femalt attendant waits upon the former to assist in arranging the dif.ss 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 from five to twenty seconds ; the time varying according to the intensity of light.

THE GRAND JUNCTION RAILWAY PURSUANT to an Act passed in the third year of the reign of his late Majesty King William the Fourth, inti tuled " An Act for making a Railway from the Warrington " and Newton Railway at Warrington, in the county of Lan " caster, to Birmingham, in the county of Warwick, to be "called the Grand Junction Railway", and the several other Acts relating to the said Railway, Notice is hereby given, that the Directors acting in execution of the said acts have, pursuant to the provisions thereof, made a CALL of the sum of Two Pounds and Ten Shillings in respect of each of the Twenty-five Pounds Shares in the said undertaking, which were created on the 10th day of August, 1840 ; and have ordered that such Call be paid to Messrs. Moss and COMPANY, Bankers, Liverpool ; or on their account, to Messrs. BARCLAY, TRITTON, BEVAN, and COMPANY, Bankers, London; or to the BIRMINGHAM BANKING COM PANY, Birmingham ; on or before the Sixth day of January next ; and the several Proprietors of such Twenty-five Pounds Shares are required to pay such Call accordingly. Dated at Liverpool the Ist day of December, 1841. J. SWIFT, Clerk of the Company WHEREAS, a Fiat in Bankruptcy is awarded and issued against JOSEPH UNSWORTH, of Liverpool, in the county of Lancaster, joiner and builder, dealer and Chapman, and he being declared a bankrupt is hereby required to sur render himself to the commissioners in the said fiat named, or the major part of them, on the eleventh of December and eleventh of January next, at twelve o'clock, at noon of each day, at the Clarendon Rooms, in Liverpool aforesaid, and make a full discovery and disclosure of his estate and effects, when and where the creditors are to come prepared to prove their debts, and at the first sitting to choose assignees, and at the last sitting the said bankrupt is required to finish his examination, and the creditors are to assent to or dissent from the allowance of his certificate.

"YANG," THE CENTRAL FIRE WHEN Ke-shin, 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-sbin. " YANG " 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. 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's Mixture," and " Howqua's Small Leaf Gunpowder' ; but hundreds of Grocers and Tea dealers, anxious to profit by the celebrity of tea which he aloneimports, and which they found it impossible to procure, have given the same title to rubbish of their own mixing, so that there is now scarce one but has his " Howqua's," " Mowques," " Saoqua's," o r som e other mixture. Against s uch imposition, the only security is " CAPTAIN PI DDING'S NAME.". This they have not yet forged, and his signature is on every really genuine package.

EGGLESTON'S OXYMEL OF HOREHOUND has the extraordinary property of giving immediate relief in all asthmatic and consumptive cases, hoarseness, difficulty of breathing, &c., promoting gentle expectoration, giving ease and freedom to the lungs, and is justly considered un rivalled as an universal family medicine. Those who are deprived of rest at night by incessant coughing, will, by taking one dose, find immediate ease, and a small bottle in most cases will effect a cure.—Sold in bottles, at Is. lid. and 25.

TOOTH ACHE CURED IN A MINUTE EGGLESTON'S VEGETABLE PASTE, a permanent and instant cure for the most agonising tooth-ache. This truly valuable and innocent nerve-killer, composed entirely of vegetables, without the admixture of anything pernicious to the teeth, is the only remedy ever discovered to effect that great desideratum, since the creation, viz., the cure of tooth ache, arising from whatever cause, without that destructive and dangerous operation, extraction. " We, the undersigned, passengers on board the packet ship Fairfield, from Liverpool to New York, being very much troubled with tooth-ache, found immediate relief from the use of Eg,gleston's Vegetable Paste, and can with confidence recommend it.

A FACT.—The excess of females over males in the whole population of Great Britain is 509,889. The Rev. R. W. Sibthorp is, we understand, at the Roman Catholic College, Oscott, and will be there re ordained. His fellowship at Magdalen College has not yet, we believe, been declared void ; and the proceedings in the matter are looked to with much interest, as curious and knotty questions will arise. It appears not to be generally known that under the act 1 and 2 Victoria, insolvent debtors omitting property fraudu lently from their schedule, or retaining wearing apparel above the value of £2O, are guilty of a misdemeanour, and subject themselves to three years' imprisonment and hard labour. The penalty not only attaches to the insolvent, but likewise to all persons aiding and abetting. At a dinner in Madrid, recently given by the staff of the garrison to the staff of the National Guards, the following among other violent toasts, were drunk with great warmth, if the Cerreo Nacional, itself a violent paper, may be be lieved,—" To the happy day when we shall drink the blood of tyrants like the wine of this glass." "If the pope ex communicates the Duke of Victory, may Spain shake off as soon as possible the yoke of the Pope." " To the speedy coming of pure Democracy." " May the Supreme Being speedily glorify the King of the Barricades." THE CAunLE.—The form is this—all the foreign ministers and their ladies and visitors of a certain rank and station, who call personally at the palace to make their enquiries, are conducted into the interior, and received by the lady in waiting to whom, if not personally known, they announce themselves. They are then conducted 'into one of the state rooms, when the lord in waiting and other officers of the household are assembled, and candle is handed round. It is served in large cups or vases of China, with handles at the sides, a cover and a stand ; and by the side of each cup is placed a piece of cake. After this is disposed of, the royal infant is brought in by his nurse and goes the round of the circle; the visiters then take their departure.—Cheltenham Looker-on. DREADFUL SHIPWRECK.—The barque Amanda, which sailed from Limerick with emigrants bound for Canada, in the early part of September last, was lost on the 26th of that month in the gulf of the river St. Lawrence, when 42 per sons met with a waters• grave. It appears that the ship met with a dense fog, which lasted from the 24th to the 26th, when the ship struck at five o'clock in the morning. The long-boat was lowered by the crew, into which 12 sailors and 29 passengers hurried alongside and swamped her, and every one perished. One man, who was supposed to be worth some money, went down the companion while the vessel was sinking to look after it, and was never seen afterwards. The captain and four of the crew, and five passengers, who had the good fortune to cling to the wreck, were saved. The bodies of the sufferers were all washed ashore next morning, and interred in a burial ground two miles from where the ac cident occurred. POINT ABERGLASLYN.—The approach of Point Aberglas lyn supplys all the materials of a most marvellous picture, rising in some points of view, to the sublime and terrible. The road where the view first bursts upon the eye in all its varied and extraordinary features, by its bleak, barren as pect, overhung by huge precipices and broken rocks stretch ing into the distance, well prepares the mind for those im pressions which, on whatever side approached, by day or by moonlight, as Bingley so enthusiastically describes it, never fails to call forth the admiration of the coldest traveller. All the milder features of landscape are here lost amidst these rocky fabrics ; instead of the softer interchange of hill, and lake, and glen, the grandeur of the whole scene at once arrests and employs the imagination. The way through the pass, which, so late as Mr. Pennant's visit. was a mere horsepath, was a few years ago sufficiently widened for a double line of carriages, and has more recently been much improved. It runs along the base of the moon tam, which has been blasted to a considerable extent, and is formed upon the solid granite, bounded on the river side by a stone wall. The bridge is built frarn rock to rook, arid produces an extraordinaiy effect in the scene of which the engraving on the opposite page conveys a faithful representa tion. There was formerly a saloon leap at this place, which has been destroyed ; but the river still abounds with that fish and tribes of speckled trout, which afford excellent sport to the experienced angler.—Front Roscoe's North Wales, new edition. A FASHIONAriLIK HUSBAND.—The following scene, ac cording to the Moniteur Parisien, occurred a few days since at a linen warehouse on the Boulevards. Mademoiselle A., formerly an actress at the Rouen Theatre, but now keeping her carriage, and spending 20,000 f. a year, had been making some purchases, and was leaving the shop, when she met the wife of the person to whose liberality she is indebted for the luxurious style in which she lives. The wife, indignant at the sight of the enemy of her domestic peace, and giving way to her passion, fell upon the ex-actress, and a sort of fight ensued, during which the husband came up, and giving his hand to his mistress, handed her into her carriage, leaving the outraged wife to return home to her four children and weep ! LLANGOLLEN.—intelligence of a serious affray with poachers in Wynnstay-park has been just received, through the medium of Mr. John Kyffin, superintendent of police. From what has transpired it appears that information had been forwarded to Mr. Holt, Sir Watkin's head gamekeeper. that a gang of six or seven poachers were carousing at a public-house at Ruabon on Tuesday evening, and purposed visiting Sir Watkin's preserves that night. Accordingly he and five or six men were ou the watch. In the course of the night, or early on Wednesday morning, they met at a gate of the preserves, whereupon one of the poachers shot at the foremost keeper, and wounded him in the foot and leg, which felled him to the ground. On recovering h e levelled his piece at the depredator, a n d s e vere ly wounded himin the abdomen. His life is despaired of. One of the poachers, besides the one wounded, has been captured, and the police are out in all directions in pursuit of the other fugitives.-- Carnarvon Herald. THE CASE Or BERNARD CAVANAGH. READING, SATURDAY NIGHT.—This evening completed the tenth day of Cavanagh's imprisonment. On Thursday and Friday his pulse declined, and this morning a small quantity of the gaol allowance of gruel was missed from the vessel i n w hi c h it had been placed, while the whole of the remaining quantity was much thiner than when it was sent in. His frame had become evidently weaker; his pulse very feeble; and this evening Mr. Bulley, the surgeon, was called in. He ordered some gruel, with a glass of port wine in it, which Cavanah gladly swallowed, as the means of restoring him to health. He was clearly in a state of great exhaustion, scarcely able s i t t a t i : . e l e Whatever h tl a i t a e t v h e er cCanaontaegxhi , and much alarmed at his to move one foot before the other, powers of endurance Cavanagh's ten days without fqod nor has he that retentive pow - • ' sinking may b e , he pretended. power over the secretions to which HISTORY OF HATS.--The use of bats, that is, of caps with brims to them, is of very ancient date. Among the Greeks, the Dorian tribes, probably as early as the age of Homer, were characterised by the broad-brimmed hats which they wore when on a journey. The same custom prevailed among the Athenians, as is evident from some of the eques trian figures in the Elgin Marbles. The Romans appear, in general, to have used no covering for the head except a corner of the toga or upper garment; but at sacrifices and festivals they wore a bonnet or cap; and this being permitted only to freemen, part of the ceremony of manumitti ng a slave con sisted in putting one of those caps on his head. But on journey the Romans were accustomed to wear a bat called petasus, with a margin wide enough to shade their faces from the sun. In the toiddle ages, the bonnet or cap with a narrow margin in front appears to have been in use amoug the laity, while eccesiastics Wore hoods or cowls; but Pope Innocent the Fourth, in the thirteenth century, allowed to the cardinals the use of scarlet hats. About the year 1440, the use of hats by persons on a journey appears to have been introduced into France, and soon became common in that country, whence, probably, it spread to ether European states. The cap of the ancientswapscebartbal, knit.inylyma I made ofdvo,,011; and this, as well as th e h a t, was, probably, know when felt was introduced as a material for hats, but it is stated, that the hat worn by Charles the into Steoveßnothuouot: France, on th e oc casion of his triumphant entry in 1140, was of felt.—Aikires Illftstratiens of Arts and Ma , if tsfactures.
