By letters received from the north of Germany we
learn that the differences between the Duke of
AUGUSTENBURG and the Danish Government, in
which the Cabinet of Berlin acted as mediator, have
been settled. The Prince has accepted the offer of
the Danish Government of an indemnity of 2,025,000
thalers for his property situated in the duchies, in
order to avoid the necessity of proceeding judicially
against him. The Duke has, consequently, no fur-
ther connexion with Schleswig or Holstein.

assignees, and by his order tho defendants handed it
over to the purchaser. The plaintiffs contended that
tho property was v,isted in them, sod that the de-
fendants had no right to deliver it to any one except
by their express directions. It was admitted that the de-
fendants had neither notice of the fiat nor of the act
of bankruptcy. The Court entertained no doubt what-
ever as to the goods being those of the assignees, but
they thought the defendants were protected by the 84th
section of 6 Geo. IV., c. 16, which said that no person,
body, corporate, or public company, having in their pee'
session any goods belonging to a bankrupt. 6boald be
endangered by their kiiiiv,ry to the hank:upt, provided
ihey had not at the time any notice of the act of bank-
ruptcy. It was argued that the operation of that section
was confined to the period before the issuing of the
commission, until which time the goods properly be-
longed to the bankrupt; but tae Court did not think that
was a proper construction of the section. Its real object
was to protect wharfingers, dock companies, and other
public bodies against losses when the delivery of good;
to the wrong party was owing to no fault of their own.
The point as to the notice of the fiat being ipso facto s
notice to the whole world of the party's hankruptcy, the
Court considered was not tenable. On these ground
the judgment would be for the defendants.

PHOTOGRAPHIC AND BINOCULAR
PORTRAITS.

A very curious discovery, which it is important that
the public should know, respecting the binocular da-
guerreotype portraits, which have now become so po-
pular, has been recently made by Sir David Brewuter.
The harsh and disagreeable expression which
characterises all sun pictures, but especially the bi-
nocular ones when united by the stereoscope, has
been ascribed to the imperfection of the lenses
employed, the instability cf the sitter, and the necessary
constraint of feature and of limb under which he sub-
mits to the operation. But whatever may be the in-
fluence of these causes, there. is another which neither
the artist nor the sitter can control. Even if the lens
is absolutely perfect, the sitter motionless, and the
expression of his features such as should be per-
petuated, the portrait is a monstrous represtntation of
hansanity, which no eye, and no pair of eyes, ever
saw or can see. This character of photographic portraits
arises solely from the size of the lens, and as every
photographer strives to procure large lenses, for which
he pays a high price, his very attempt to improve his
art leads him to produce portraits deviating more and
more from pictorial truth. The cause of this is easily
apprehended. A perfect portrait is that which an artist
paints with one eye, or from a single point of sight;
but a portrait taken by a lens in a camera is a combina-
tion ot a great number of portraits taken from a great
number of points of sight on the margin and throughout
the area ot the lees. The consequence of this is that
the whole figure and every individual feature is a com-
bination ot lines or points in different positions,
and of lights and shadows of different magnitudes and
intensities. If the commonest eye, therefore, can see
very distindlly, as it does, the great difft,renee between
two portraits, the one token by the-lett and the other
by the right eye—which are only 211 inches distrsat—
how enormous must he the difference between portraits
f4lten at different points of the margin of a lens four,
live, or six ii.c:.!es in diameter! The perfection of the

portraits,
which the stereoscope combines and exhibits
in relict—depends upon the discovery of a process so
sensitive that portraits can be taken by lenses as near as

FINE ARTS.

THE RAILWAYS IN GREAT BRITAIN. A
Map designed by Z. Macaulay. Second Edition.
Smith and Ebbs.
Upon the occasion of its first appearance we well
remember calling public attention to this really re-
markable evidence of the forethought, the industry,
and the ingenuity of Mr. Zachary:Macaulay. Ap-
preciating, as we then did, the importance of the
work as one tending to systematize the whole of the
intricate network of the railway-system, we are by no
means surprised to find that it has already attained
the dignity of a second edition. From this circum-
stance, however, we may now somewhat reasonably
conclude that this " Station Map of the. Railways in
Great Britain" has resolved itself into the only offi-
cial, and consequently the only authoritative and re-
cognised chart of the English railroads. The first
attempt of any magnitude made in this direction, it
promises to remain as it has done hitherto without
u competitor. Macaulay's Railway Map must,
in fact, henceforth be regarded entirely without
a rival in its particular department, as Kelly's Post-
office Directory is as a guide-book to the metropolis.
Tne accuracy of the former, moreover, is guaranteed
beyond the possibility of misapprehension—the whole
of the different lines of railway being "corrected by
the respective companies." Apart from the interest of
the publication as affecting railway matters, it pos-
sesses a very peculiar value as being among the number
of the best maps of England ever published The scale
upon which it is produced being ten miles to the inch,
it becomes obvious at once that it affords every desi-
rable opportunity for distinctness. Added to its ori-
ginal merits, we observe, in the " second edition," a
variety of highly meritorious improvements. What-
ever changes or additions have been made since the
first issue of the map, in regard to the various lines
of railway, are scrupulously attended to, up to
the latest moment before publication. Each
company's line is differently. coloured so,
as to be immediately distinguishable. Every
station is plainly marked out and lettered. All the
principal towns, all the smaller towns, and many
of the more noticeable villages in Great Britain
(whether near or far away from a railway), are
clearly indicated. The outlines of the various coun-
ties are dotted down. Every port, creek, or inlet on
our coasts is defined, as well as every one of our
principal channels for inland navigation. By
those interested in railway matters, and in-
deed by everyone at all engaged in mer.
cantile transactions, Macaulay's Railway Map
will be found almost inestimable as a work of refe-
rence. While it reflects the highest credit upon the
projector, it appears (from the very adroitness with
which he has been enabled to carry out his design)
to have found its fittest author in a gentleman en-
gaged at the Railway Clearing House—that u

Confusion—inecretary. the responsible position

FRIDAY EVENING,

NEWSPAPER STAMP.

Mr. HUME wished toask—theAttorney-General,
why the Dunfermline News, published at intervals of
twenty-eight clays, and thus often appearing in the
middle of the month, should bo liable to prosecution
under the Act 60 George 111., c. 9, s. 4, whilst the
Stoke-upon-Trent Monthly Narrative, coming out in the
middle of the month, is tree from prosecution under the
same Act?

The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said it was ex-
tremely difficult to answer the question; :it seemed to
him that the Hon. Member was seeking to obtain a
legal opinion which would be chargeable if put in the
regular way.—(Hear, and a laugh.) With regard to
the question itself, no proceedings had been taken against
the paper, nor could any be taken without the
sanction of the authorities at Somerset-house, and as
therefore the question was based upon an assumption of
facts which did not exist, he of course would not answer
it.—(Hear, hear.)
THE FRANCHISE.

Mr. GLADSTONE said the Right Hon. the Chan-
cellor of the Exchequer had. given notice of his
intention to move on Monday for leave to bring in a
Bill to dispose of the four seats vacated by the disfran-
chisement of Sudbury and St. Albans, and he should
be glad to know if that was to be the first
business taken on Monday, as it was his intention
to make a motion to raise the preliminary question
whether that subject ought to be introduced at all during
the present Parliament.—(Hear, hear.)
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said it
was his intention to aek for leave to bring in such a Bill
on Monday, and he should do so before the orders of
the day were read.
Sir GEORGE GREY asked what was to become of
the Militia Bill then?
Tha CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said he
should proceed with the Committee on the Militia Bill
afterwards.
THE SEWERS COMMISSION.

In reply to Sir BENJAMIN HALL,-
Lord J. MANNERS stated that it was his intention,
in the course of a week, to bring in a Bill to continue
the existing Sewers Commission for the limited period
of twelve months.

(Continued from our Fifth Edition,)

On clanfio 3 being proposed,
Mr. fiUME said that he had given notice of his in,
tention to amend the preamble of the Bill by the inser-
tion of such words as shall recite ail the Acts of
parlianEnt.inany way relating to the militia, local or
general, or, disembodied; and that it is expedient to
repeal all tnose Acts, with the view of consolidating the
law to be in force for the futuro regulation or govern-
ment of the militia in England. It was of the utmost
importance that the present measure, if passed, should
be recognised as the whole law of the land, and that
every individual to be affected by it should be able to
ascertain exactly what his duties were, without incurring
the risk of the penalties to which he might bo subject.
He held iu his hand an index he had procured from th
library, in which there were three folio pages taken up
by the titles of Acts passed at different times
subject of the militia. There were eight of
cable to England alone. Now Burn's Justice does not
allude to more than five. Under these

circumstances he
submitted that they ought to have nod

paints with one eye, or from a single point of sight;
but a portrait taken by a lens in a camera is a combina-
tion of a great number of portraits taken from a great
number of points of sight on the margin and throughout
the area of the lens. The consequenca of this is that
the whole figure and every individual texture is a com-
bination of lines or points in different positions,
and of lights and shadows of different magnitudes and
intensities. If the commonest eye, theretore, can see
very distinctly, as it does, the great difference between
two portraits, the one taken by the left and the other
by the right eye—which are only 2i inches distant—
how enormous must be the difference between portraits
taken at different points of the margin of a lens four,
five, or six inchet, in diameter! The perfection of the
photographic art, therefore—but particularly of that
new department of it which con:ists in taking binocular
portraits, which the stereoscope combines and (exhibits
in relief—depends upon the discovery of a process so
sensitive that portraits can be taken by lenses as near as
possible to the size of the pupil of the eye.

COWES, ISLE OF WIGHT.
(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)
DESTRUCTIVE FIRE IN THE ROYALCO COWES
MAYH,T FLSE.ET
IN COWES HARBOUR.—About ten o'clock last evening
the schooner yacht Titania, of 100 tons, the property of
G. R. Stephenson, Esq., was discovered to be on fire,
and as she was in the midst of the fleet hauled up on
e mud, great fears were entertained that many of
finest vessels in England might be destroyed. The
large town fire-engine was got into a horseboat and
towed u to the burning yacht, bat on its being
stated that
she had a quantity of gunpowder in her
magazines,
the
_men were cautioned not to go near her;
but for this unfortt:
nate circumstance, there was such a
such powerful engines, that the fire
mustnumber
soon of
haveme men, , n
been
a
go,!- under. Their exertions were now
principally directed to the saving of the Talisman cotter
yacht, belonging to Captain Smith, and a schooner yacht
belonging to Mr. O'Shea, in which they were successful;
but the Titania, the competitor of the celebrated America,
was completely burnt out. Her masts went by the
board soon after midnight, but she kept burning till
nearly daylight, when the sailors finding that the maga-
zine did not blow up, they would no longer believe that
she had 2 cwt. of gunpowder in her, and boarded her
aft, playing the engines with such effect that, although
her iron sides were red hot, they soon put the fire out.
The gunpowder was found to have been protected by
the magazine from both fire and water. Her valuables
are all detroyed; even the plate is all melted down.
She has her bowsprit alone standing. There was con-
stant shouting from East Cowes shore that the Talisman
was on fire, but it was only the reflection of the red-hot
sides of the Titania on her, that gave her the appear-
ance of being on fire also. The paint is much blistered,
and the pitch has run out of her seams; but she has
received little other damage. The fire is stated to
have been occasioned by the over-heating of the flue in
airing the cabins and furniture, the owner being ex-
pected on board to-day. Had the wind been from the
south instead of the east, it would have been a fatal
affair for the other yachts (about twenty) that were
near her. No powder should be allowed to be kept on
board the yachts when laid up.
The Japara Dutch ship has been pumped out, and
her cargo is discharging; she has still two tons of to-
bacco and two ditto of flour in casks in her lower hold.

COLONEL SKIPWORTH'S REPORT.

" Sir,-1 have the honour to report for your information
that, agreeably to your instructions; I proceeded with
a force of three troops of the 12th Lancers, under the
command of Major Tottenham, five companies of the
43d Light Infantry, and about 60 levies, on the evening
of the Ist inst., to the heights above the Kei, and en-
camped for the night. Having observed several Kafirs
on the hills at some distance off, I was under the impres-
sion that there must have been a number of cattle in
the adjacent kloofa. I therefore proceeded' to the spot
two hours before daylight on the following morning, and
on overlooking the valley opposite to the junction of the
Koi and Somo perceived a tew herds close to the edge of
the bush, a number being driven away in the direction
of the Kei. I instantly dispatched a company and a
half of the 43d Light Infantry, under command of Cap-
tain Primrose, 43d, and some levies, in pursuit of them,
the remainder of the party having crowned the heights.
About three hours after, the party under Captain Prim-
rose returned, having succeeded in capturifig about 150
head of cattle, without meeting with any resistance, al-
though a number of Kafirs were watching these move-
ments from the tops of some of the hills. Soon after
this I proceeded Infante cavalry and three companies
of the 43d ,Lighty in search of cat•le near the
junctio been he Kabousie and Kei, but everything seemed
to have driven away. A few shots were exchanged,
but without loss on our side. ,
" The following morning I destroyed a number of
kraals, and encamped for the' ight near the junction of
the Somo and Kei. This morning I marched at day-
light, and Pined the camp at Kabousie.-,I h, &a.,

ROYAL GARDENS, VAUXHALL.

This time-honoured property—the Methuselah of
public gardens—is announced to open for the season this
(Monday) evening, on which occasion the veteran mro-
neat, Mr. Charles Green, will make the first of a series
of ten farewell ascents in that monstre aerial
machine, the great " Nassau Balloon." During the
recess, Mr. R >ben Wardell, the director, has been
actively engaged in delvising and realiziog many important
improvements, amendments, and novelties. The changes
thus t. ffected in the " Royal Property" commence from
the very entrance, not the least of which is the conver-
sion of the Equestrian Rotunda into a Theatre de Ballet,
in which a full corps of Parisian dancers (selected from
the Grand Opera, by the permission of M. Nestor Ro-
queplan), under the direction of M. Honor& Maitre de
Ballet of Theatre at Marseilles, will appear in a ro-
mantic divertissement, entitled Zelita, or the Maid of
Calabria. The great picture, which has become so im-
portant a feature at Vauxhall, represents the famous
Piazza de Torres at Madrid, on the occasion of a Royal
Bull Fight, from the pencil of Mr. Nicols; while the
Garden Theatre is devoted to the pe3uliarly interesting
subjects of the Arctic Regions, during the winter and
summer selstices, painted by the Messrs. Adams. There
are also the Hall of the Arabs, two new Cafés, Hall of
the Golden Lillies (a la Chinois), Vintage Bower, and
dioramic views of the Lake of Lucerne, with all the varied
and exquisite beauties and poetical associations of that
lovely spot.

Accounts both from the Cape and the Burmese
territory have proved to a certain extent satisfactory.
It will be perceived that in the former direction the
enemies of the British flag have been so far cowed as
to be driven at last into the necessity of opening up
pacific negotiations. In the latter quarter our sue-
cd.s,es bave been yet more signal, the opposing forces
having been routed and their boasted stronghold cap-
tured.
