The Polytechnic Review cud Magazine. Jam Morti- rater, The number of this work for the present month con tains a number of articles of interest to men of science, and several that may be found acceptable to the general reader. A paper on glass-making, and another on the goldsmiths, silversmiths, and coppersmiths of ancient Egypt, apparently from the same pt-n, furnish some cu rious particulars of the scientific and chemicel acquire ments of the Egyptians .1030 years ago, numerous speci mens of their work still extant, showing that they were in glass making and staining, and the working of metals, little, if at all, inferior to our mo,lern artisans. A clever paper on atmospheric railvrays sets forth the principles of Gleag and Santuda's, and Pibrow's plans, with a compa rative analysis of th it respective advanta es. Amongst the miscellaneous articles is an able one in defence of Gen. Rosas against his calumniators ; another on discoveries . made by means of Lyra Rosse's Telescope, and another on the improvement of entail , d estates. SELEC I lONS. • THE IRON De MO—Although no man is more capable of enjoying the refinements of society than the Duke of Wrllington, luxury hits not enervated his mind or man ners. His dress—his equipage —his habits—all partake of the same indifference as to effect—all demonstrate the hardy self-denial of the camp! Constant horse exercise, —a mattress lyd,—early rising, and remaining up twenty hours out of ths twenty-tour,—etteeding Divine service at the Chapel Royal, St. James's, before eight o'clock on Sundays,—and the habitual use of cold shower baths at all sea-ons of the year—these contradictions to the ordinary babes of men, who have attained the ripe age of three score years and ten, fully illustrate his grace's well-known determination of purpose, and his utter carelessness of ease. and the luxuries of life. Well, indeed, has the Duke of Wellineten been named " I he Iron Duka!"— Naval and Military S'ketcla ifiak. GLASS MANUFACTURE OF ANCIENT THESES.—A re markable fact connected with the manufacture of ancient Thebes 4,000 years ago, show, the traditional tenacity . of ancient custom. It is well known that the oil-jars of the Levant are precisely similar to those which appear in the illustrations of Rossellini. So the Egyptian earthen am phora, w ith ou t fe e t, adopt e d a f terwar d s f or strong wines by the bon vivants of Reme, retain their original shape and purpose among the Tuscan farmer s . W it h reference to glass bottles, there are two classes used at the present day of equally ancient oriein : these are the Florentine oil flasks, holding anout three-quartets of a pint, and the ' turpentine carboys, as they are called. holding four or five gallons, from Cyprus arid the adjoining chores of the Le vant. Both are protected by ma tine, the first of a fine, the second of a coarser nature. Both are seen, with slight alterations, in the illustrations of Rossellini. Sir . G. Wilkinson thinks that glass lanterns were used by pickets of solders, and give, a specimen of a group of Egyptian sentinels carrying it I intern en a curved pole. It is not improbable that an hieroglyphic on the Rosetta stories, translated manifestation, resembling a magic lan tern with a handle, trout which rays of light are issuing, way b e something of the kind. That the glass-manufac turers made nnignifying lenses is clear from Plutarch, (de facie tante.) Diodorus, and Ptolemy, the astronomer, and is proved be the extant cameos, which could only be cut by the aid of a microscope.—Pokir chnie Magazine. ANCIENT AND MODERN AUTHORS. —It is a common saying, even among persons of cultivated taste, that it is hopeless to attempt to advance anything new on the beau ties of ancient ;miters; that every thing that can be said ore the roll jest h s already been exhausted, and that it is in the more recent fields of modern literature that it is alone possible to avoid repetition. We are decidedly of opinion that this idea is erroneous, and that its diffusion has done more than any thing else to degrade criticism to the low station which, with some honourable exceptions, it has so long held in the world of letters. But when an cient excellence is contemulated with a generous eye, even when the mind hat sees it is hut slenderly gifted, who will say that nothing new will occur? When it meets kindred genius, when it is elevated by a congenial spirit, what a noble art does criticism became ? What has it proved in the hands of Dryden and Pope, of Wilson and Nleceuley ? It is in the coetenaplation of ancient great ness. ant its comparison with the parallel efforts of modern genius, that the highest fliehts of these gifted spirits have been attained, and the native generosity of real intellec tual power most strikingly evinced. Criticism of words wi;l soon conic to an end ; the notes of scholiasts and an notators are easily made, as apothecaries make drugs by you sing from one phial into another. But criticism of things, of ideas, of characters, of conceptions, can never come to an end ; for every successive age is bringing forth fresh comparisons to make, and fresh combinations to ex hibit. It is the outpouring of a heart overburdened with admiration which Mlle he delivered, and will ever disco ver a new tnode of diliveranee. How many subjects of critical coop rison in this view, hi t Serbs nearly untouched upon, has th literature of Europe. and even of this age, afforded ! eEsehilu o Sitskspeare, aid Schiller—Euripi des, Alfieri, and Corneide—Sephocles. Metastasio, and Racine—Pindar, Horace, and 11,av-Ovid, Ariosto, and Wieland—Lucretia-, Darwin. tied Campbell—Demos_ thenes. Cicero, and Burke—Tbucidides. Tacitus, and Gib bon—Thomson. Cowper, and Clewle Lorraine : such are a few which suggest themselves at fits sight to every one who reflects on the rich retrospect of departed genius. It is like looking hack to the Alps throuth the long and rich vista of Italian landscape ; the scene con , bluntly varies, the features are ever new, the impression is stantly fresh, from the variety of intervening objects. though the glit tering pinnacles of the inaccessible mountains ever shine from afar on the azure vault of heaven. Human genius is ever furnishing new proofs of departed excellence. Human magnanimity is ever exhibiting fresh examples of the fidelity of former desct ipiions, or the grandeur of for mer conception. What s aid Hector, drawing his sword, when, betrayed by Minerva in his last conflict with Achilles. he found himself without his lance in presence of his fully-armed and heaven -shielded antagonist ? "Not at least inglorious shell I perish, but after doing some frest thing that teen may be spoken of in ages to come."—Bfackuroorl's Magazine. NATURE AND REVELATION —Nature and Revelation are hut two volumes of one writing, the one being added ton ake known what the other could not : the authority is equal : the subject -rustier differs ; in importance, Oh how greatly ! No vestiges of creation, no natural evi dence of material things, could have disclosed to man, or ever bave so much a, helped hint to discover the things that most vitally concern himself: who made him —who destroyed hint—wh o redeemed him—and all the history of the unseen, the morel, spiritual, supernatural, and eternal, submitted to faith in the inspired pages. By so much as eternity is greater than time, and the interests of our immortality more vital than the In id' commodity of a few passing years—by so much, even now, as our know ledge and enjoyment of God and the things of God ex ceed in interest and importance all that is sensible and material—by so much are tl e truths of the Bible dearer to us than all the truths beside ' • and we do w e ll t o b e very jealous of even the shadow of a contradiction, or inter ference. or even addition to its testimony in that which is its subject-matter. But it was not designed to teach us natural history, nor any history, except as it is connected with the redemption of mankind—revelation's great ex clusive theme. Even God's providential government of his creatures is exhibited only in relationship with this : witness the silent dismissal of the heathen nations, recog nized solely as they abut upon the narrative of redemp tion : while the record of creation stands like the brief exordium of some great discourse, just needful to the understanding of the subject : it occupies two chapters and no more. It is not likely such a book should pause front its great theme of life and death, to tell us what it is not essential we should know at all, or may sufficiently discover by otherwise provided means. Revelation begins just where all other intelligencers become silent, it takes us up where all natural evidence leaves us. The proper ties of matter, seience could discover—of the immaterial not so much as the existence : man's animal nature our senses could discern—generated, supported, perishing like the brute: nature could never have proved that we were more. So far from the increasing knowledge of natural things tendieg to satisfy the enquiring mind with out the light of revelation, we should expect such studies to bring the earnest enquirer to a point at which he could not possibly be satisfied, could not consent to stop, while without supernatural help he could proceed no further; and baffiled intellect would imperiously demand, " Is there no other record, more commensurate with my ca pability to learn, and necessity to know, than this ex hausted book of elementary truth? When I have found the last tiek that connects me with tie brute, and nature refuses me an answer mote, is there nothing to tell me wkerelore lam not one ? When 1 have mastered all the wondrous laws of matter,—generation, electricity, gravi tation, and (tete- 'apemen', doing each its own work with mathematical order and precision, —must I remain igno rant for ever of what these cannot tell me—who made they laws, and set them their t , sk, and taught them to perform it ? And when my y ears are spent and senses worn, deep taught in all that science can reveal or time demonstrate. hut unsatisfied, unperfected, and ignorant to the last.-011, may I not —can I no t as k anywhere, what neat ? To meet this need—this yearning necessity of the immaterial to know what the material never can disclose, to speak where all is silent, and not to silence anything that speaks truth, revelation has been given; and all we demand for its high authority, is that its su pernatural disclosures be not contravened and discredited by natural discoveries, which we are absolutely sure they connot be.—Churehman'a Review. LOWELL AND ITS FACTORIES.—On entering Lowell, a stranger is naturally struck with the contrast presented by that place, to an English manufacturing town. Here, in Bradford, for example, every building is of stone, or brick, solid, substantial, with little of the freshness that might be looked for in so rapidly an increasing town : there, in Lowell, though the mills and boarding-houses are generally of brick, the chief part of the other buildings, houses, hotels, and even churches, are of wood, and nearly the whole are es fresh-looking as if built within a year. Here, with us, everything, externally, is dis coloured with smoke ; buildings, streets, and causeways, alike bearing a sooty covering; the mud of the streets, in colour and consistency, like blackish grey paint, and the air of heaven darkened as by a dense cloud : there, nothing is discoloured, neither houses, nor mills, nor trees —the red brick factories and boarding-houses, and the other edifices of wood painted in light colours, look as fresh as if just finished ; the streets—dusty enough, in deed (for a deep dry covering of dust was on them when I was in Lowell)—were vet not black like ours; and the sky, unshrouded by smoke or cloud, was brilliant and clear—the sun darting down its unobstructed rays with dazzling and scorching power. '1 here, the trees and plants which, with us, soon become dingy after their foli age bursts out, and wie!), in some places, as in the churchyard of St. Peter's, being ever leafless, appear like the black stumps of the forests in America, the residue and remnants of the fire; there, in Lowell, were fresh and flourishing ; the trees, with which some streets or mill precincts are screened and adorned, being verdant in their summer's foliage, and the neatly-kept gardens, here and there seen about the factories, being amply adorned with floral beauty. Hence, as to Lowell, large as it has grown, it is yet rural in its appearance, and, notwithstand ing its being a city of factories, is yet fresh and cleanly.— American Factories, by the Rev. W. Scoresby. FARMER'S LEASES.—UnIess farmers had leases, it could not be expected, nay, it would not be safe for them to carry on experiments. He had visited East Lothian, which he bad just heard Liehig, at the Glasgow dinner, pronounce the first agricultural district in the world. Well, there the farms were let on nineteen years' leases. On those farms were steam engines, and every sort of machinery and implement. There the tenant farmers originated the proposition to give £6OO a-year to Professor Johnson, to act as their agricultural chemist. He hoped it would not be taken amiss it be said thai Scotland was fifty years in advance of England in agriculture. Why ? Because the Scotch farmers had leases. (Hear, hear.) Two-thirds of the land in England was under strict en tail or settlement. So it was in Scotland, but that was no barrier to improvement there. (Hear, hear.) The Duke of Richmond and himself,oot 'to mention other proprie tors, tenants for life, were engaged in improvements on a range of above fifty miles between the Murray Firth and the River Don, and were enabled to carry out these im provements in Scotland, because they could charge two thirds of the expense on the next heir. That system en couraged tenants for life to lay out their money freely. (Hear, hear.) Scotland had enjoyed that act, called the Montgomery Act, since 1769, and entailed estates were equally well cultivated, arranged by exchange, and leased with those in fee. (Hear, hear.) The English landlords of entailed estates and their farmers were fettered, but the Scotch not. Hence the latter were able to do great things. He had heard, " Really you Scotch do things we English cannot." But why not ? Give Englishmen the same ad vantages as the Scotch, the same powers of leasing. and exchanging, and charging, and then every farmer in Eng land would be able to do as much or more than the East Lothian farmers. (Hear.) When landlords talked of putting their shoulders to the wheel, it was natural for them to reply, At least do you M.P. landlords put a lit tle legislative grease to the axle, to make it work freely.' (Hear, hear, and laughter.) He considered the cause . of agriculture was not best protected by the circulation, or rather the accumulation of pamphlets, one-half of which was not believed ; the other never read ;' and that the money so laid out would be more beneficially employed in such prizes as were given that day, and useful experi ments. Let their representatives in parliament make good their cause against all comers, by getting sound and simple laws for drainage, leasing, exchanging, building farm-houses, steddin s s, dykes, walls, planting, roads, enclosing, and schools, as Scotland had enjoyed for above seventy years ; by which all the venom of entails had been extracted, and improvements encouraged in that happy country ; while here, landlord and farmer were, as it were, bound in the legal fetters of the unmitigated mortmain of entail and settlement. Then it would be seen whether the English farmers were a whit behind their brethren of the north.—Mr. Gordino's Speech at Tring,—Potytech nic Review. The foot of a Chinese female. from the heel to the great toe, is only four inches long. THE MAYNOOTH GRANT. The clergy of several rural deaneries have sent up petitions to Parliament against the Maynooth grant, and also against the uniun of Bangor and St. Asaph. The member for South Shields, Mr. J. T. Wawn, yielding to the " pressure from without," has declined to vote for the further reading of the Maynooth College Bill, and signified that, if neutrality on his part does not meet with the wishes of his constituents, he will resign, and fall back upon private life. On Friday evening last a meeting was held in the Town•hall of Lowestoft, to take into consideration what more could be done to oppo.e the contemplated grant to Maynooth. It was numerously attended, manifested the strongest feeling, and concluded by voting a petition to the House of Lords. GLOUCESTER.—On Monday the clergy of the arch deaconry of Gloucester deliberated on the propriety of petitioning Parliament against the proposed grant to Maynooth, and of addressing the Queen, praying her Majesty to withhold her assent from the bill. The Very Rev. the Dean presided. The meeting unanimously re solved to forward petitions to both Houses of Parliament against the grant, and to address her Majesty. PETITIONS AGAINST MAYNOOTlL—NOtWithStailding the large majorities within the walls of Parliament, by the mechanical force of which the bill for the endowment of the Popish seminary at Maynooth has already been hurried on to nearly the final stage, it is certain, from sta tistical facts, duly authenticated by official authority that the people of England entertain the most decided objec tion to the measure. From a parliamentary report, it appears that there are no less than 7,629 petitions praying for its rejection, already weighing down the table of that assembly, signed by 982,862 persons of various religious persuasions throughout the length and breadth of the land. To oppose this formidable array of hostility there are, on the other hand,—absolutely and positively,--46 (forty-six !) parchments in favour of the bill now about to be pressed for a third reading, signed by no less than 15,483 persons. The public may be curious to ascertain who these petitioners are. There are 53 merchants and traders of the town and vicinity of Banbridge ; 9 members of the Presbyterian congregation of Moneyrea, in the county of Down ; 184 members of the first Pres byterian (Unitarian) congregation of Dromore ; 680 ma gistrates, manufacturers, &e., of Manchester ; 836 mer chants and bankers of Liverpool : 92 merchants and bankers of Liverpool 92 merchants and traders of Ban gor, near Belfast ; 3 ministers and members of a Dis senting congregation worshipping at Strand-street, Dub lin ; 16 members of the Presbyterian congregation of Dunmury, Antrim country ; 84 inhabitants of Porto bello, near Edinburgh ; and 59 Protestant inhabitants of Banbury, Neithrop, and the hamlets in Oxford county. These are in addition to 13,428 brought forward from the last report. The sense of the nation is very fully and satisfactorily conveyed by the 982,862 petitioners against the grant, it being known that the whole of the electors of Great Britain do not exceed (but are sumewbat under) that number. THE JESUITS. (Prom the Dublin Mail.) The movement in France against the Jesuits is attract ing much attention, and deservedly commands the gravest consideration of all Christian nations. Protestantism is rapidly gaining ground in that country ; and Popery is putting forth all its antagonist energies to grapple against it. The following extract from a letter recently ad dressed to the Cambridge Camden Society, by M. Le Comte de Montalembert, one of the leaders of the Popish movement going on in France, will at this moment be read with interest. " If the Church of Rome," says M. le Comte, " when she maintains that out of her pale there is no salvation, and that she alone has the power of governing the Chris. tian world, is not infallibly right, then she is infallibly wrong; and so far from being a distinguished branch of truth, she is founded on imposture or error, and in neither case, can be a true church." A candid admission, truly ; but surely the noble Count, when making it, had no recollection of the words of St. Gregory the Great, a bishop of the ancient, and a canon ised saint of the modern, church of Rome, viz.:-- •' I speak it confidently, that whosoever calleth himself universal bishop, or desireth in the pride of his heart to be so called, he doth forerun Antichrist—Gregory, Epis. xxx." Again, speaking of the Patriarch of Constantinople, he observes:— " He is an Antichrist that :Lan claim the title of uni versal bishop. . . . It is too grievous to be borne, that our aforesaid brother and fellow-bishop, conspicopus meus, despising all other, should attempt that he alone should be called a Li hop ; it is a novel doctrine which has never been known Rome, or pretended to by any other bishop—it is against the Gosp I—the decrees of the Canons—against the rights of all other bishops, and of all churches—a horrible injury and scandal to the whole universal church. . • . &c. &c.—Lib. i v ., E p i s. 3 4. " Is it not curio us to watch this movement and feeling against the Jesuits in Roman Catholic France ; and yet in Protestant England, to find the Protestant Prime Minister treat, as a dead letter, the restraint intended by the emancipation act of 1829 (framed by himself,) to pre vent the introduction and establishment of Jesuits in this empire? France without a habeas corpus act, acknow. ledges the danger ! England, without the power to con trol them, has received them to her bosom, to suck her heart's blood ! It has been asserted—and with every appearance of truth—that a practice, prevalent in the days of the later Stuarts, has been revived, for the better subversion of the Protestant religion, and that advowsons in the Church of England have been purchased, with a view to the induc tion of Jesuits in disguise into the office of parochial ministers. How widely and how deeply the studies of the youth of England have been misdirected and perverted from the true faith, Oxford bears recent and painful evidence. Nay ; rumour does not confine its apprehen sions of treachery and heresy to the limits of the Univer sity; but glances at other wolves in sheep's clothing —not being what they seem to profess—" sitting in high places." Truly the time appears rapidly approaching when Protes tants will again have to contend for civil and religious liberty. THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD.

T HIS Railway is p r oj ec t e d t o cont i nue t h e Li ne of communication from the Terminus of the proposed Manchester, Buxton, Matlock, and Midlands Junction Railway at Amber Gate to Nottingham ; which by a Junction at Nottingham with one of the proposed Eastern Lines will complete the nearest and most direct route from Nottingham and the Eastern Counties to Manches ter, Liverpool, and Holyhead, and by a junction with the Midlands Railway, in the Parish of Sawley, by the Ere wash Valley, the nearest route from Lancashire and Yorkshire to the south. The Town and Environs of Nottingham contain a po pulation of upwards of 100,000 persons, extensively em ployed in the Cotton, Silk, and Lace Manufacture, and this Line, by its connexion with the proposed Manchester, Buxton, Matlock, and Midlands Junction Railway, will reduce the distance upwards of seventy miles from that important district to Manchester and Liverpool, as com pared with existing routes; and the same advantage will also be derived by the Towns of Leicester and Lough borough. Independently of the great traffic which, as part of the main trunk line from the Agricultural Districts of Not tinghamshire, Lincolnshire, Norfolk, and Suffolk, to the Manufacturing Districts of Lancashire and Cheshire, it will pass through a very populous, manufacturing, and rich Mineral District, the local traffic from which will alone return a fair remuneration for the capital invested. It will also pass through the extensive Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire Coal-field ; and by its junction with the Midlands Railway. at Amber Gate, and its contiguity to the Limestone and Gritstone Quarries of Derbyshire afford an unlimited quantity of Coal, Lime, and building Stone to a large district at present only partially and expensively supplied with those important products. In addition to the income to be thus derived from the local, mineral, and Passenger Traffic, a large revenue will accrue from the Line, considerably cheapening the transit of Cattle, Corn, and other produce of the Eastern Agri cultural Counties, and also of Cotton, Silk, and other raw materials, now brought by a circuitous dilatory and ex pensive route, from Liverpool and Manchester, to be used in the staple trades of Nottinghamshire, Derbyshire, and Leicestershire, and the transmission of valuable manu factured goods to Liverpool for exportation. The Railway will provide an easy and cheap access from Nottingham and the Eastern part of England to Matlock, Buxton, Bakewell, Chatsworth, and Haddon, and the romantic scenery of the Peak, and by opening objects so rich in their attraction, will beyond doubt command a large proportion of that pleasure travelling by which ex isting Lines have so much benefited. The Proprietors of the Canals in the district through which the line will traverse, it is confidently believed, will amalgamate their interests upon such equitable terms as will prove advantageous to the Shareholders in this Com pany. preliminary survey of the Country has been made, and it has been ascertained that the gradients are remark ably good, and the cost of construction not expensive.

He mentioned the fact that his father, aged 76, had been for a long period of his life grievously afflicted with Rheuma tism ; so severe were the attacks, that he has been con fined to his bed for three months at a time, and the agony he endured was scarcely to be conceived. He flied all the ordinary remedies without effect ; was recommended ►to take Blair's Bills, which Le at first unwillingly did, and, to his surprise and delight, he in^a very short time was completely relieved. ,He takes them occasionally when threatened with an attack ; and his son assured me that, since he commenced taking the Pills, he has never been confined to bed by an attack, and that, for a series of years, his health has never been so good as it is at pre sent. This is only one out of many cases which I could men tion ; but the efficacy of the Pills is so well known as to require no further recommendation. I am, dear sir, yours truly, J. D. MARSHALL. The never-failing effects of BLAIR'S GOUT AND RHEUMATIC PILLS in curing every description of Gout and Rheumatism, have secured to them a celebrity unequalled by any medicine of past or present times. They not only give relief in a few hours, where the patient has been driven nearly to madness by the excruciating tortures of this disease, but restore to perfect health in an inconceivably short space of time. They are equaUy speedy and certain in rheumatism, either chronic or acute, lumbago, sciatica, pains in the head or face, and indeed for every rheumatic or gouty affection ; in tact, such has been the rapidity, perfect ease, and complete safety of this medicine, that it has astonished all who have taken it, and there is scarcely a city, town, or village in the kingdom, but contains many grateful evidences of its benign in fluence.

The astonishing success which has crowned the applica tion of this external Medicine in the most hopeless and deplorable cases, when the unhappy sufferer had despaired of ever gaining even the least• relief, and this after the ablest advice and every other,means had completely failed, most justly entitles it to the attention of the afflicted.

Amongst many which are being daily received are the following Testimonials : 4 Paternoster-row. SlR,—Having been inform e d o f the surpri , sing cure of Mr. Barnes, of St. Paul's Churchyard, who was so severely afflicted by Rheumatism, the intense pain causing delirium, that he was com pelled to be confined by a strait waistcoat to prevent his commit ing any violence, and whose case was considered entirely hopeless, twas induced to ascertain the particulars, and being satisfied of he truth of my information, encouraged me to make a trial of your most invaluable Medicine, entertaining little hopes of success, hav ing been many years s o severe a su ff erer, and tried many said' to be very valuable remedies. lam very happy in being able in adding my testimony of the benefit I derived : after a few days' application the use of my limbs are perfectly restored, and I am now able to attend my business, and, making an allowance for my age, never was better in my life. To those, however severely afflicted and hopeless their case may have been pronounced, I beg of them to make a trial, feeling quite satisfied they will be restored to the use of their limbs, from the severe cases that have yielded to this Me dicine. Health is a great blessing to those who can enjoy it, but to those who are deprived, none feels it so severe as the tradesman or mechanic, as it generally causes loss of business, and ruin on families. I shall at all times feel it my duty to make it known to those afflicted, to evince how grateful I am for my restoration, and am, Sir, yours truly, GEORGE POLLARD. October 20, 1844. We, pplegate. have been several wicks confined ll-street to my b ed Cri by Gout ane Rheumatism, not a part from my head to feet free from pain, and as helpless us an infant: not even a finger could I move. In this unpleasant situation I was informed by my medical attendant he had applied all the usual remedies, and that I might remain mouths in my deplorable situation. Fortunately your remedy was made known to me, or I migh have been to this day confined to my bed. After a close application of four days, my troublesome companion began to disappear; in a week I was capable of walking about my room, and by another week's perseverance in the use of your Medicine was enabled to leave London. Fearful of another attack, you will please to send six bottles.—l am, Sir, your obedient servant, D. W. STONE. 14, Belmont-place, 'Wandsworth-road, Oct. 26, 1844.
