IVeneer Woods, in logs and curls, every buyer q, . ogany will here meet with whatever variety and excel . nc , he may require. The advantages of measurement over eve other market in the kingdom cannot be too frequently repeated ; every third log (reckoned by the Customs' calliper) being allowed as tare or draft—agreeably to an established usage peculiar to Liverpool. Again, the foreign and distimt buyers have here every advantage equally with the local or resident buyer, because all these Woods are invariably arranged for the pur pose of facilitating public inspection and examination, not only prior to, but at the time of sale ; each lot being so placed that the stranger can test the quality, sizes, and chargeable measurement, through a most lucid catalogue, and a detailed measurement affixed to every individual piece composing the lot to be knocked off : so that the Mahogany merchant, Cabinet-maker, Machine-maker, imach-maker, the Ship builder, and the House-builder or Joiner, all meat the importers of Mahogany in the most open, wise, and li beral mode of trade ; which reciprocal advantages being daily more and more appreciated, to the mutual satisfaction of buyer and seller. The general Mahogany trade, thus facili tated, is verging to, and largely increasing in Liverpool, the central market of the United Kingdom—the shippers abroad preferring it to every other as a depot for the most superb specimens of Spanish Wood. Although the season of the year is not the most favourable for travelling, the excellencies of these cargoes, respectively selected and loaded by the most extensive and practical men of St. Domingo and Honduras—" Rothschild and Vaughan" —the marked depression in price at which these rare woods just now rate, should induce every prudent person to buy freely at this most favourable period in the year for cutting up for seasoning. Parties who may wish to receive detailed particulars of the Woods to be sold, either by auction or by private bargain, may have the same by post—that is to say, the actual, con trasted with the Brokers' chargeable, measurement of each piece of Mahogany, with its description and valuation ; or, the particulars in regard of the other American, European, &c. &c. Woods, so as to contrast their quay measurements with the Customs' or calliper of Logs, and Foreign or intake measurements of Deals or Planks, distinguishing, of course, Rose, Zebra, and Box Woods, and all such as are sold only by weight—so that all can be sufficiently qualified to benefit themselves by giving orders to their agents, if they prefer this mode of business, or be prevented from personally at tending these sales.

"YANG," THE CENTRAL FIRE, WHEN Ke-shin, or " The Dreaded Hour," was appoint- V 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 countr men had been duped : and he predicted that, " thoug e shin might promise millions, he would never pay ollar ; that, instead of resuming trade, he would enfo • its stop page, to keep the English without tea ; " a..• - at " Elliot would rue the hour" when he first re ied • Ke-shin's pro mises. The public now know whos gment of the Chi nese has proved correct, CAPTAIN Z LLIOT'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 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," " Mowqua's," " Saoqua's," or some other mixture. Against such imposition, the only security is " CAPTAIN PIDDING'S NAME." This they have not yet forged, and his signature is on every really genuine package.

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, is now in DAILY OPERATION. THE PRICE FOR EACH PORTRAIT, INCLUDING A FRAME, IS ONE GUINEA. JOHN RELPH, Manager. Specimens may be seen, and Orders received, at Mr. LA CEY'S REPOSITORY OF ARTS, 100, Bold-street. The Invention was recentl introduced into England, at the ROYAL POLYTECTINIC I NSTITUTION, LONDON ; and the following are a few extracts from the leading Journals relating to its merits . . . (From the Morning Chronicle.) When we formerly described tiiis 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 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. (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 apnronriated 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 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 arc ashamed of their personal appearance had better keep from the influence of photography. (From the Morning Herald.) P HOTOGRAPHI C 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 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 be anticipates must be felt by all persons who would cherish the best memento of a dear friend or relative (From t he Courier.) " Every line, every touch in the pictrue produced is from the pencil of nature, without flattery or,fallacy." (From Bell's Weekly Messenger.) EXTRAORDINARY FACT.—MI N IATURE PICTURES.—It 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 raj nute)—but it affords to artists themselves the surest guide for copying other likenesses, whether in miniature, or iu oil paintings as large as life. (Prom the Weekly Dispatch.) PHOTOGRAPHIC PORTRAITS.—WC took an opportunit 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 mad• " swear to." Separate rooms are also appropriated to ladies and gentlemen, and a female attendant waits upon the former to assist in arranging the Oriiss 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. (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 lighllted with the exhibition. AND GENERAL C -HEARTS RESOLVED AND HANDS PREPARED, THE BLESSINGS THEY ENJOY TO GUARD.-SMOLLET. FRIDAY, DECEMBER 17, 1841. Co be &alb or /rt.

" An able volume."—Literary Gazette " Just and impartial."—Spectator. Saturday, January 1, will be published, price Sixpence, stamped to go free by post, The First Number for 1842 of PHE GARDENERS' CHRONICLE, a Weekly Record of Rural Economy and General News. The Horticultural Part Edited - by Professor LINDLtY. Twelve months since, the Proprietors of THE GARDENERS' CHRONICLE announced their objects in undertaking this Journal, and if the support they have received may be con sidered as a test of the satisfaction of the Public, they have every reason to believe that their exertions have been appre ciated, for it has already attained a sale far beyond any con temporary of a like character—a salewhich has gone on pro gressively increasing from January to the present moment, and has so far exceeded their own sanguine expectations THAT NO LESS THAN THREE EDITIONS OF THE EARLIER NUMBERS HAVE BEEN REQUIRED TO MEET TILE CONTINUED DEMAND. They now, therefore, need only refer to the past as an earnest of the future, and announce, for the information of the public generally, the nature of the publication. The plan followed is, in THE FIRST PLACE, to make THE GARDENERS' CHRONICLE a weekly record of everything that bears upon Horticulture, Floriculture, Arboriculture, or Garden Botany, and to introduce such Natural History as has a relation to Gardening, with Notices and Criticisms of every new work of importance on these subjects. Connected with this part are WEEKLY CALENDARS OF DENING OPERATIONS, given in great detail, and adapted to the objects of persons in every station of life, so that the Cottager, with a few rods of ground before his door, the Amateur who has only a greenhouse, and the Manager of extensive gardens, are alike informed each week of the rou tine of operations which the varying seasons render necessary —Foreign and Domestic Correspondence upon Horticultural subjects, with illustrative wood-cuts (112 have already been given)—Reports of Horticultural Exhibitions and Proceedings at home and abroad—Notices of Novelties and Improvements —in short, everything that can tend to advance the profession, benefit the condition of the workman, or conduce to the pleasure of his employer. Replies to all questions, whether practical or theoretical, connected with the object of the Paper are also given weekly in great detail. And although the Paper is not, strictly speaking, an Agricultural Journal, yet it contains full reports of the proceedings of the Royal Agricultural Society, and much valuable information upon more interesting subjects of discussion in this branch of inquiry. IN THE SECOND PLACE, that description of domestic and political News is introduced, which is usaally found in a Weekly Newspaper. It is unnecessary to dwell on this head further: than to say, that the Proprietors do not range them selves under the banners of any party ; their earnest endea vours are to make THE GARDENERS' CHRONICLE a full and comprehensive Record of Facts only—a Newspaper in the true sense of the word—leaving the reader to form his own conclusion and opinions : their object being the elucidation and discussion of the laws of Nature, not of man. The reader is thus furnished, IN ADDITION TO THE PECULIAR FEATURE OF THE JOURNAL, with such a variety of informs tionconcerning the events of th e d a y, as superse d es t h e ne cessity of his providing himself with any other Weekly Paper. On Saturday, December 25th, willbe published, neatly bound in cloth, with Title-page and lndex, price 1.1 65., THE VOLUME FOR 1841 OF THE GARDENERS' CHRONICLE. (Each Volume is complete in itself.) Persons anxious to possess the Volume should order it at once, as but very few complete copies remain, although THREE EDITIONS OF PARTICULAR NUMBERS HAVE BEEN PRINTED. The GARDENERS' CHRONICLE is published every Saturday, price 6d., and may be ordered of all Newsveudora in town or country. _ _ A Prospectus, with the List of Contributors during the first year may be had on application, or by letter, at the Office, 3, Charles-street, Covent-garden, London. THE DEAD versus THE LIVING.—" The Jews :aways bo ried their dead without the city, except those of the family of David. No burying places should be tolerated within cities or towns, much less in or about churches and chapels. This custom is excessiveiv injurious to the inhabitants; and, es pecially, to those who frequent public worship in ,such chapels and churches. God, decency, and health, forbid this shocking abomination. From long observation I can attest, th,t churches and chapels situated in grave yards, and those, especially, within whose walls the dead are interred, are perfectly unwholesome: and many, by attending such places, are shortening their passage to the house appointed for the living. What increases the iniquity of this abomina ble and deadly work is, that the burying grounds attached to many churches and chapels are made a source of privata gain. The whole of this prepos terous canduc t is as indecor ous and unhealthy as it is profane. Every man s h ou ld k now that the gas which is disengaged from putrid flesh, and par ticularly from a human body, is not only unf r i en dl y to, but destructive of, animal life . Superstition first introduced a practice which s elf-interes r t and coveteousnei.s" continue to maintain." —By G. A. llalker, Surgeo n : , Gatherin g from Grave Yards. " PUFFIN ISLAND.—" Priestholme, or Puffin Island, pill afford a day of sport to the disciple of Colonel Hawker,—or of information to the industrious an ti quary, — or amusemen t to a pic-nic party, and, indeed, to all the migratory tribes that may be sojourning at Beaumaris. It is nearly a mile from the shore, to the ed ge w hi c h i t slopes in ver d an t t ur f on ea ch side from its lofty central eminence. The island is in shape like a lemon, extendinc , a mile in length, and half a mile in breadth. Near the centre are the ruins of an old square tower, supposed to have been a portion of a religious house once subordi na t e to t h e pr i ory o f Penmon, whi c h f rom the' a o t d t o r u ac r t o e f d n s l a a ti n c y it d y e ' vo thtereos7nandpenitents, and d y i ng per sons,around it by pop u l ar tradi tion, to its sacred shrine, either as the subjects of pilgrimage or prayer, o r t o o b ta i n i n t e rment within its holy walls. Of the brotherhood of this e stablishment, old Giraldus relates the following remarkable story. The superior reputation which this monastery enjoyed , induced the Wel s h p r i nces , Llewelyn and David, and after the c onquest of the country, Edward I. to grant to it the revenues of Penn - ion. Prince Owen Gwynnedd was the founder of thi s re li g i ous h ous e, and lies buried h ere ; and its sanctuary became the refuge at once of the oppressor and the opp resse d , i n t h at l aw l ess age to which it belonged. Little remains to attest the presence of the crowds of devout men who thronged it ; or of the noble, the wealthy, and the poor, that once were interred in its consecrated - cemetery. A colony of rabbits has usurped t h e ir territory, and swarms of cormorant, stormy petrels, cu rlews, and Puffin auks, a n d eve n, though comparatively but rarely seen, peregrine falcons, hasten to these shores iu the summer months to breed, and nurture their young."-:- -Roserie's TVanderinos in North Wales.
