Now publishing, in Monthly Parts, with Two Illustrations, Price 3s each, T HE HOLY BIBLE, with Notes, Practical Observa tions, and Marginal References. By the late Rev. THOMAS SCOTT, Rector of Aston Sandford. WITH EIGHTYPOUR ILLUSTRATIONS AND MAPS. (To be completed in Forty.two Parts.) The Lord Chancellor having dissolved the injunction ob tained against Messrs. Fisher and Co., on the ground that the distinction between the two editions was so obvious that no one would be deceived by their advertisement, and there fore no injury would be sustained by the plaintiffs, the Pro prietors of the Standard Edition (the only one which does contain the -author's last corrections and additions) feel it necessary to state fully and explicitly the difference which exists between that edition and the fourth, from which Messrs. Fisher and Co. are reprinting. Five successive editions of Mr. Scott's great work were printed (excepting a few sheets of the last edition) in the author's lifetime. The first edition appeared in the years 1788-1792 ; the second in the years 1802-1807 ; the third in the years 1807-1811. All these three editions were re vised and carried through the press by Mr. Scott himself. In the year 1811, Mr. Scott sold the copyright of his work to the present proprietors, who, in the year 1812 published a fourth edition, which was printed with too great haste, and in carrying which through the press Mr. Scott had no part. In a letter printed in his Life, of the date of March 3, 1818. he says, " As I was not employed about the last edition," &c. He continually complained of its incorrectness, and in another letter, now in the possession of the proprietors, he adds, " Few things have more mortified me than it has done ; especially as, while I live, the public in general will impute its inaccuracies to me." _ _ This edition, then, the fourth of the date 1812, being the only one printed in his lifetime which Mr. Scott did not su perintend, and the one whose numerous errors caused him so much mortification, is the one which Messrs. Fisher and Co. are now republishing ; and which they announce •as " the last which was published by Mr. Scott when in the vigour of life." The fact being that it was never published or edited by Mr. Scott at all ! Subsequently, however, ' to this edition of 1812, Mr. Scott undertook, at the request of, the proprietors, another and a ~ f final revision of the work, ran edition," as he himself ex presses it, " which should for an STANDARD OF THE wonx as long as it might exist"—(Life, p. 310.) This longest and most laborious revisii occupied the greater part of his time, for several of the last m years of his life. In the course of this revision he made many work to the ext en t ofny most important addi tions ; increasing the bulk of t four hundred R a g es; none of which new matter, being copy right, can be gi ven in Messrs. Fisher's edition. Under these circumstances, Messrs. Fisher,the public wo uld not readily purchase s o defective foreseeing that an editi on , have latterly trie d to make it appear that thesimprovements eati t e were not Mr. Scot t's. Observin g that Mr. co avail t, like m os t other authors of volu minous works, was obligedg him self of the services of a literary assistant, a name of Dawes, wh o resided with him for the last eight of the years of his life, they have recently asserted (without h , Mr. Dc ! a ground whatever for suc h an assertion) that the having additions in question were made by Mr. Dawes, and not by mt. any . In answer to which most un j ustifiable assertion has himself come forward , and in a letter to the editor of the s e l Record newspaper, of April 12, has distinctly declared that - tire whole authorship of that edition was Mr. Scott's, and Mr. Scott's alone ; and that " it is insufferably insulting t o the memory of that great man, to convey the impression that he would permit his principal w ork to be patched up b y another person." And with this full explanation, the proprietors now leave the whole case with the public. They c annot doubt that every purchaser who is at all careful as to the intrinsic character of the work he is ordering, will prefer that edition which Mr. Scott designed to be „ the standard of the work so long as it should exist." The price ot the com plete work in six volumes, with a large type, is only six guineas ; and a new edition, with engravings, is publishing in 42 monthly parts, at 3s. each : while the imperial octavo copy, which is greatly superior to Messrs. Fisher's, is now reduced to the very low price of three guineas in cloth. Published by L. and G. Seeley, Fleet-street; J. liatchard and Son, Piccadilly, R. B. Seeley and W.

In the County of DUBLIN, an extensive Sale by Private Treaty, Five Miles from the City, a Freehold Demense of considerable magnitude, including Sixteen Farms, altoge ther Three Thousand Acres of the finest soil throughout Ireland ; also the Galway Farm, near to the Town. MRGEORGE ROBINS is directed to . SELL BY PRIVATE TREATY, and on unusually favourable terms, A FREEHOLD ESTATE OF FIRST-RATE CONSE QUENCE; it is A PRINCELY DOMAIN IN EXTENT, and as regards the quality of the soil it is unsurpassable. THE FORSTER AND LUMM ESTATES are within five miles of THE CITY OF DUBLIN They comprehend altogether SIXTEEN FARMS, ALL TITHE FREE, extending to THREE THOUSAND ACRES OF LAND, of the first quality, divided into convenient farms and occu pied by tv.A WEALTHY AND CONTENTED TENANTRY, who pay their rents withoat a murmur; the word arrear could not be found in their vocabulary ; they are held on leases for lives, with fines on renewal, at most inadequate rents; indeed the rental may be assimilated to FREEHOLD GROUND RENTS ; and to demonstrate this fact more clearly, it need only to be remarked that the present rental is only £l,BOO, and the value exceeds FIVE THOUSAND POUNDS A YEAR. The situation of this fine demense is almost beyond com mendation ; it has been compared, and with great truth, to GENEVA'S FAVOURED SCENERY. It is on the road from Dublin to Drogheda, encircled by the estates of Lord Clifton, Sir Compton Domville, Bart., Sir Capel Molineux, and Sir Henry IVlnte Jervis, Bart., and it may be remarked the rents paid are not subject to any de duction.

WINSTANLEY and SONS, On FRIDAY next, the 20th instant, at One o'clock, on the Premises, (if not previously disposed of by Private Con- tract,) THE beautiful and picturesque Marine Villa of FORT ANNE, in the Isle of Man. FORT ANNE is finely situated on an eminence command ing magnificent views over the Town of Douglas, the whole of the Bay, and the surrounding Country, combining an ex tent and diversity of scenery which but few Marine Villas in the United Kingdom can boast. The Mansion, which is too well known to require any mi nute description, was built at an unsparing expense by the late celebrated Thomas Whalley, Esq., for his own Residence. The principal Apartments are large, arranged with great taste and judgment, for the accommodation of a family of distinc tion, and finished in the most substantial and superior style, with Mahogany Doors and Plate Glass in the Windows. The Bedrooms, Offices, Stables, Coachhouse, and Pre mises are numerous, extensive, and commodious. The en trance is through a Conservatory nearly sixty feet long ; there is also a Warm and Cold Bath, and other accommodations. The whole of the Property comprises fully Six Acres, ex tending nearly a quarter of a mile along the south side of Douglas Bay, commanding the anchorage and the entrance of the Harbour, the value of which is greatly enhanced from its being the only frontage on that side of the bay not already disposed of, and which would most unquestionably be greatly augmented by the construction of the contemplated Break water, by which Douglas would become a grand Central Harbour of Refuge for the Irish Sea. The Grounds are now laid out in very picturesque Walks and Shrubberies, a well-wooded and romantic Glen, and four walled and well-stocked Gardens. Fort Anne is equally desirable as a permanent Residence for a Family, or as a Marine Villa for a Nobleman or Gen tleman frequenting these Seas during the Summer Season in his own Yacht; or it is capable, at a moderate expense, of being so enlarged as to afford every accommodation for an Hotel of the first class, peculiarly situated for facility of land ing from and embarkation on board the Steam-packets which continually frequent the Bay, and is so ready of access to Douglas as to ensure a constant succession of Visitors at every Season of the Year; it also unquestionably possesses the finest situation for Sea Bathing at all times of the Tide, in the purest water, and in perfect retirement, which the Isle of Man affords. For particulars and Tickets to view the Premises apply to Messrs. FOSTER and STEWART : or to Messrs. WINSTAN LEY and SONS, Liverpool; to J. B. HARRISON, Esq., Atholl-street ; J. C.

CESS WILL BE OPEN TO THE PUBLIC PRO- The Corporation of Liverpool having granted the site of the late OBSERVATORY, ST. JAMES'S WALE, 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, 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, OR DAUGERREOTYPE MINIA TURES.—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 accomplished 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 till object desired, being on the highest story of the institution From the roof, which is constructed of blue glass, of abou a quarter of an inch thick, a very powerful light is obtains and it is so ingeniously contrived as to revolve with the su In a portion of the room, nearly in the centre, an elevat seat is placed, on which the party wt taken sits, with his head reclined backwards. In this posi tion the sitter is told to look into a glass box, in an oppositc 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. (Front 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 Morninq 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 Saturday, 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 perifs4 tarying from five to twenty seconds. We were de lighlalle 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 Weekly Dispatch.) •, PHOTOGRAPHIC PORTRAITS.:—We took an opportunity on Monday cf again visiting the Polytechnic Institution, to witness the astonishing manner in which po r t ra i ts 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.natuye. (From the Obse7er.) 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 female attendant the himselfncere, n) waits upon the former to assist in arranging the dress so as to producelthe most desirable pictorial effect.
