VHE.NEW GOVERNOR-GENERAL

OF INDIA.
As some account of the trip to Alexandria with
:',l4se Governor- General of India may not be unac-
!pptable to our readers, we subjoin the following
ertract from the letter of a passenger on board her
'4'..ajesty's steam-frigate Sidon, dated Malta, Dec. 27.
" The passage from England to Malta was per-
rmed in about the average time, nothing of any
.4aterest having occurred during the voyage.
" We touched at Lisbon, Gibraltar, and stood well
toyer to the African shore, thus affording his Excel-
iency an opportunity of seeing Algiers and that line
.V coast.
" On arriving at Malta we were much disappointed
et finding the Admiral and fleet on a cruise off Naples.
Having coaled ship here, we proceeded to Alexandria,
where we arrived on Saturday, the 4th of December.
"It was evident from the excitement consequent
on our arrival that the Sidon had been some time
expected, as our anchor had scarcely been dropped
ere a galley put off, in which wore the Pacha's
Prime Minister, Artina Bey, and Mahomet Bey, the
captain of the port. Shortly afterwards Captain
Lyons, the East India Company's agent, came off to
make the necessary arrangements for the passage up
to Cairo. At one o'clock his Excellency_ landed,
under a salute of nineteen guns from the Egyptian
batteries, which was returned by the Sidon, the Turk-
ish flag having previously received a royal salute.
" The next day (Sunday) his Excellency attended
Divine service in the Consulate chapel, and then em-
barked in the Pacha's own steamer, on the Mahmoudie
Canal, for passage to Atfeh, where the Pacha's steam-
yacht was in attendance to convey us up the Nile.
This steamer, it appears, had been waiting the Go-
vernor-General's arrival for ten days. We found her
fitted up in the most sumptuous style of luxury; the
state cabins were lined with embroidered satin, and
the ceiling covered with white brocaded silk, the
floors being tesselated with the choicest woods, and
highly polished.
A splendid d&uner was prepared, consisting of
the rarest productions of the season and the choicest
and finest wines, which were supplied with the Pacha's
usual liberality, his own cook officiating, and his pri-
vate servants being in attendance.
" Artim Bey accompanied his Excellency to Cairo,
and was most assiduous in his attention.
" On arriving opposite Shubra, about three miles
from Cairo, we noticed the left bank of the river
thronged with spectators, whose diversity of costume
presented a novel scene to those accustomed to nought
but European sights.
"At Shubra his Excellency disembarked. A
regiment of Egyptian Lancers drawn up to receive
him, accompanied him to the palace of Abbas Pacha,
the Pacha's second son, which had been prepared for
his use; the fine band of the regiment preceding the
carriage, playing several English airs in most excel-
lent style. As our arrival took-place towards dark the
palace was most brilliantly illuminated, and fitted in
every way for the reception of its distinguished guest.
" The next day (Tuesday), at two (,'clock, his Ex-
cellency proceeded in one of Mehemet Ali's state car-
rias (drawn by six beautiful Arabians), accompa-
nied by the Countess, Captain Henderson (of the
Sidon), and his suite, in full dress to pay his visit of
ceremony to his Highness.
" Cairo appeared quite alive, the cortege as it
passed everywhere creating quite a sensation, and
attracting multitudes of anxious spectators, as the
cracking of the running footmen's whips caused an
opening in the crowd. And here it was net a little
amusing to see the nimble little Cairo donkey and
the great nnwiedly dromedary shuffling out of the
way in double quick- time, amid the shouts and
uproar of their Arab drivers, who, had they not shown
more than European dexterity in effecting their
escape, would have received (as some few did) rather
an unceremonious lash of the whip across their ill-clad
shoulders. Having arrived at the citadel, in the
square of which the Pacha's palace is situated, we
found the troops drawn out in martial array, the
bands playing, and everything arrange:l in the
vsyest minner pos.Aih!e. We then alighted and were,
tisheeed into a lin hall, and passing through one or
two .long corridors, at the end of one a splendid
curtain of crimson satin was withdrawn, and we
found ourselves in the presence of his Highness
Mehemet Ali.

"The room or divan in which he received us was a
Spacious square apartment, with richly stained ghtss
windows, which opened by a poste fenetre upon a
beauteous pleasure-ground, fragrant with the orange
blossom and the perfume of a thousand choice exotics.
The floor of this room was covered with a Persian
carpet of most costly price and of the most exquisite
fabric. The ottoman which surrounded the room
-was sumptuously cushioned with cloth of velvet
and satin interwoven of a dusky crimson colour,
and slightly elevated in the right-hand corner
of the room sat the object of our greatest
interest, Mehemet Ali himself. As Lord and
Lady Dalhousie, &c., were presented he re-
mained seated in the Turkish style, with his legs
crossed. The Hon. Mr. Murray, the Consul-General,
introducing the party, and Artim Bey interpreting in
French.

"His Highness is certainly a most striking- looking
personage; his beard, which is of snowy whiteness,
giving a most venerable effect to a face of more than
ordinary penetration and intelligence. His forehead
is high and broad, and his eye keen and restless, and
during our visit it wandered from face to face with
most amusing quickness and scrutiny.
"After a conversation, which occupied some twenty
minutes, and the subject of which we were unable to
get hold of, pipes were called for, and such pipes—
amber mouth-pieces of the size of an egg, covered
'with brilliants, the average value of each mouth-piece
being 1001. ; and first the Countess was presented
-with one, and then his Excellency and suite; and it
'was not a little amusing to watch her Ladyship en-
deavouring to manage her novel, and we must say,
rather unsuitable chibook. A few minutes having
been devoted to the narcotic weed, coffee was brought
in little china cups, resting in sockets of blue enamel,
perfectly rough with diamonds. Coffee finished, we
took our leave, highly delighted with a visit which
amply fulfilled our most sanguine expectations.
".Next day (Wednesday) Lady Dalhousie, paid a
visit to her Highness Nazby Ilanum, the Pltha's
eldest daughter, at her harem near Rhoda, on the
banks of the Nile. She was met at the gates of this
residence by four of the royal eunuchs, who, two on
each side, conducted her into her Royal Highness's
august presence. Her visit was most interesting,
and she was treated with great distinction. Every-
thing in the harem is on the most magnificent scale,
and in the grand square or court-yard is the splendid
silver fountain presented to Mehemet Ali by the
East India Company, and which I was told he values
very highly.
" The day after visits of ceremony were paid to the
members of the Pacha's family, then in Cairo, and her
ladyship called upon Mehemet Ali's youngest daughter,
who was lately married to Kamil Pacha.
" Thursday evening having been fixed upon for his
Excellency's crossing the desert to Suez, a light
chariot and six, with three `transit vans,' were in
attendance at the residence of the Consul-General,
where his Excellency dined, and at half-past nine
o'clock the party, amongst whom was Captain Hen-
clarion, of the Sidon, proceeded to Suez.
At
Suez, the Moozuffer, Honourable Company's
steamer, was in waiting, on board which his Excel-
leiteivana Suite immediately embarked.
4 e _
cannot speak too highly of the arrangements
on board the Sidon for his Excellency's reception, nor
of the assidn'tia and unwearied attention paid to his
guests by Captainaff ee e Henderson, whose urbanity of
manner kindness of
of of disposition must insure him
the respect
and an
pect
andkin
all who have the pleasure
and, privilege of his acquaintance."

ON THE TARING OF PIIOTOGItAm'c
BY NIEPCE ST. vie TIMAGES ON GLASS,
IC Although my labours on this subject are quite in
the rough, yet I hasten to make theirs known, such
as they are, not doubting but that rapid
be made in this subject by hands morepreeoxplierrsitsTilidl
than mine, and by persons who have the
of working at it under much more favourable;ohnadivre
dons than I have been able to obtain.
"I will now indicate the means which
hitherto employed, and which have given me the
most satisfactory results without being perfect; and
as everything depends on the preparation of the glass
plate, it will be better, first of all, to explain the
mode of preparing the substances employed.
"I take 5 grammes (11 drachms) of starch, which
I mix with 5 grammes of water, and afterwards with
95 grammes more of water ; to this I add 35 centi-
grammes (about 5 grains of iodine of potassium, dis-
solved in 5 grammes of water. I place this mixture
over the fire, and when the starch is boiled I allow it
to cool and throw it on a filter of linen, after which I
run it on the plate of glass, taking care to cover the
whole of the surface as equally
having wiped the under sid,l
surface, perfectly horizontal,sueinl as possible.. After
quickly as possible, in the place it on a level

sium).prheapvaer prepared
above.in a
The starch should alwa be
porcelain vessel, and the' quantity I
mentioned will be found enough t 7 coat
a dozen
plates of glass of a quarter size. )3, this it will
appear that it is easy to prepare a large number of
plates at one time. Care must he taken not to allow
any bubbles of air to remain, as they would produce
small holes in the impression.

" The plate of glass having been prepared in this
manner, it will be sufficient, when you wish to ope-
rate, to apply the aceto-nitrate of silver by means of
a piece of paper dipped several times in. that prepara-
tion, after which take a second piece of paper, moist-

ened with distilled water, and pass it along the glass.
Another method consists in moistening the layer of
starch on the glass with distilled water, previous to
the application of the acetro-nitrate of silver ; in this
case the image is much darker, but the exposure to
the light should be a little longer than in the method
first indicated.

" I then expose the plate in the camera obscure
about the same time as is required for paper ; I
have obtained very dark impressions in 20 to 25
seconds in the sunshine, and one minute in the
shade. (By heating the plate of glass a little, the
operation is finished in less time.) The process is
then conducted in the same way as in operating on
paper, that is to say, gallic acid is employed to
bring out the design, and bromide of potassium to
fix it.
" Such is the first process which I, employed, but
the idea of using albumen having suggested itself to
me, I have tried it, and obtained a remarkable supe-
riority in every respect over the other process ; and I
am of opinion that it i 3 to the use of this substance I
shall give the preference. The following is the man-
ner in which I prepare my plates :—I take the clearest
part of fresh white of egg (a sort of albuminous
water), in which I place the solution of iodide of po-
tassium ; then, after having run the preparation on the
plates, I dry them at a moderate temperature (if the
temperature be too high the albuminous coating
cracks). When I wish to operate, I apply the aceto-
nitrate of silver, spreading it on the plate in such a
manner as to cover the whole of the surface at one
time, but it will be preferable to plunge it into this
preparation, in order to obtain a completely uniform
coating.
" The aceto-nitrate of silver renders the albumen
insoluble in water, and gives it great adherence to the
glass. In using albumen, the plate must be ex-
posed a longer time to the light than in the case
of the starch ; the action of the gallic acid should
also be more prolonged, but by way of compensation
a remarkable purity and fineness of stroke is obtained,
and which I consider will one day obtain as high a
degree of perfection as the image on the plate of
silver.

" I have tried the gelatines ; they also give designs
of great purity, especially if we take the precaution
to filter them (which, in fact, it is essential to do in
the use of all the substances employed), but they
dissolve too readily in water. If starch be employed,
the finest must be selected for this purpose.
" It is by the use of the means I have now pointed
out that we obtain the negative image in proof. As
to the positive, not having as yet made any, I do
not speak of them, but I presume that we can operate
in the same way as for paper, at least by putting
the substances in starch, but not in albumen, which
latter cannot be mixed with the solution of salt. It
will bj neceisary, in the use of albumen, to plunge
the plate into a silver bath.
" Should it be preferred to continue the use of
paper, I will engage, by the use of one or two layers
of starch or albumen, to produce the same purity of
design as in the impressions I have taken with iodine,
but I am of opinion that, for photographical pur-
poses, nothing will answer better than a hard polished
body, covered with a delicate layer.
" May we not hope that by these means we. shall be
able to take proofs on the lithographic stone ? Might
this•not be effected by pencilling the design so pro-
duced, if it could not be taken in ink ? I have ob-
tained very fine proofs on schist, covered with a layer
of albumen. By this means the engravers. on copper
and on wood might obtain images which it would be
very easy to reproduce."—Patent Journal...
NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

PORTSMOUTH, TUESDAY.--,The doubt which we
expressed on Thursday respecting the fitting of the
Avenger with paddle-box boats has been cleared up,
the gallant inventor of those " life-preservers " hav-
ing informed us that she was supplied with them.
That these boats are good appliances to steamers no
one who has seen them made use of in a surf or roller
can doubt; they were the only means which could be
relied on to work safely between the Sphynx arid the
shore at the back of the Isle of Wight last year, and
they have proved themselves invaluable in innume-
rable other i:ivances; the means of launching them,
therefore, should be upon the simplest
.plan possible.
But what is the ease at present? • They are a part
and parcel of the paddle- I),x itself, for they are sa
fittA as to render their being gut 'over the side r.
matter of the greatest danger, instead of a certainty
of succour in the hour of need. Notwithstanditig
the intended universal adoption of paddle-box boats
to steamers by the Government, there is as yet no
fixed system resolved upon as a good and safe one
of launching them ; at the present moment
there are three or four plans of davits, by
a like number of inventors, for getting these
boats into the water, not one of which, however,
has been proved by trial superior to the other, nor
has any committee or board been ordered to test the
efficacy of the said plans. Thus whether a paddle-
box boat may be safely lowered to the assistance of
drowning crews remains as yet a matter of uncer-
tainty, especially in night casualties. The Avenger,
it appears, by the very little we can deduce from
Lieutenant Rooke's letter, fell on her beam-ends im-
mediately after striking, and the heavy spars on her
deck fell upon and smashed the boats before they
could get out. The order for "out boats" should
have begun with those on the paddle-boxes, but such
does not appear the system, and those on board are
first attended to, whereas the top-hamper on the
paddle-boxes being first removed would have consi-
derably lightened the vessel. Instead of the boats
being fixtures to the 'paddle-box (as they, to a consi-
derable extent, are, under the present imperfect sys-
tem of davits), would it not be better to affix tackles
to them connected with the spars aloft, so that they
might, on the first alarm of danger, be the first got
over the side ? And, as accidents of the nature of the
melancholy one under consideration in nine cases out
of ten happen in the night, would it not he a good
plan, when the hammocks are piped doWn at sunset,
also to pipe "Rig paddle-boat gear ?" We think it would
and that it would offer a much more certain chance of
such life boats being effectually brought into service
than any that at present exists. The Avenger, it
appears, went on her beam ends, and, therefore, we
conclude, smashed one of the paddle boats at. once ;
the other then became a fixture, and was doubtlessly
smashed in its turn from other causes and the want of
a good and infallible mode of getting it into the
water. We trust that after this dreadful warning a
committee will be appointed to investigate, try, and
report upon the plans now offered for adoption in the
service with regard to the means of launching paddle
box boats, so that their service may be more. certainly
relied on. The boats also should be made lighter ;
their weight is their destruction. The cast off boats
of the Retribution were so heavy when fitted, that on
an attempt to get them out, they straightened their
davits (of massive iron of immense thickness) and
could not be got in again. On the vessel's arrival
here they were cast off, and remain at this moment in
the dockyard, a disgrace to the establishment which
turned them out.

Two anchors, respectively of 20 and 21cwt., on
the plan of Mr. Miller, superintending engineer of
Devonport dockyard, were tested to-day in the
testing-house of the establishment, and failed to sus-
tain the usual proof tests which anchors of that weight
are subjected to before they can be considered fit and
trustworthy for service. It is much to be regretted
that all such experiments as the above are not super-
intended by a qualified committee to report upon the
eligibility or non-eligibility of all such improvements,
as we fear that many valuable suggestions are lost to
the service for want of a better system than at present
worked upon in these and other such important mat-
ters connected with the service; thus, the anchor has
remained for centuries unimproved in principle, whilst
everything else around has been benefited by scientific
skill and individual enterprise.
The Netley tender, with supernumeraries from
Devonport, arrived to-day.
Wind N.N.E., moderate breezes, and dark hazy
weather.

WooLwlcu, JAN. 11.—The Phcenix steam-sloop,
260-horse power, is to be taken down from Lime-
house to-day by the Monkey steam-vessel, to be im-
mediately brought forward for commission at Wool-
wich, and will have a crew of 120 men.
The Pluto steam-vessel has been taken into dock,
and will require about a week to have her defects
made good; when she is taken out, the Virago steam-
sloop is
to be taken in, preparatory to being brought
i forward for 'commission. This vessel will have a
crew of 160 men. She is of 300-horse power, and of
.e same class as the Stromboli steam-sloop.
The Banshee steam-vessel, Captain William
Smithett, was brought up to Deptford yesterday
afternoon,
and safely moored opposite Messrs, Penn's
establishment.

BENEFIT OF ADYEETISING.—Of all the facilities
for business afforded by newspapers, the advertising
columns afford the greatest. They put it into every
man's powor to send his business card into houses and
families; to make himself ever present, to speak for his
own cause, whenever the discussion of a subject in-
teresting to himself comes up. If ho is a dry goods
dealer, and in the family sewing circle, the want of any
article of clothing, or if any ornament is spoken of, the
ready newspaper tells the story, and directs them where
they may at once supply themselves. The stove dealer,
the coal dealer, the milliner, tailor, shoemaker, grocer,
baker, and, in fact, every tradesman or dealer, whose
craft ministers to the comfort or necessaries of a family
or individual, finds his best and surest friend in the
newspaper. The dullest times are precisely those when
a man should advertise the most. If the customer has
little money to expend, he very naturally looks about
him to see where that little can be disbursed to the most
advantage. To roam about town and make inquiries
cost more then it comes to; consequently, that trades-
man who publishes his terms and his wares is sure of ten
times in all cases, and in many ten times one hundred,
the amount of the sum invested.—Adiertising Almanack.

TUE RAILWAY PIONEER.—We learn that the case
of Mr. Thomas Gray, whose claims to the early pro-
motion of the railway system have been asserted in a
pamphlet written by Mr. J. Wilson, has been warmly
espoused in Belgium, and that efforts are being made to
raise a subscription for Mr. Gray, which may come in
aid of his resources, and sustain him at the latter end
of a useful life. We should be glad to find that some
efforts were made in England to vindicate her from the
reproaches of ingratitude towards one whose labours
have in any degree led to the development of that noble
system of communication, at the head of which this
country staads prominent. Boxes have been set up at
the stations of several Belgian lines for the reception of
contributions towards the fund which, unhappily, the
necessities of Mr. Gray render even more imperative
than his meritorious exertion in the early days of rail-
way formation. We shall be glad to find the example
adopted in other countres, where testimonials are so
liberally, if not judiciously, obtruded upon public men.

TLIB PRINCESS ROYAL.—The following little anec-
dote of the Princess Royal was lately current at 'Wind-
sor..Mr. Brown, the apothecary to the Castle, was in the
habit of visiting the-Royal children every morning, and
the Princess persisted in addressing him as "Brown."
Her governess insisted that " Mr." should be prefixed,
and threatened that if her tittle Royal Highness did not
remember this on the next occasion, she should be sent
to bed as a punishment. The morning after, when Mr.
Brown appeared, the Princess addressing him, said,
" Good morning, Brown—and good night too, for I tun
just going to bed."—Family Joe Miller.
" Ah, doctor, how is my wife today ?" The
doctor shook his head, and said. " You must now pre-
pare for the worst." "What!" said the husband, "is
she likely to get over it?"

A GO-OD 'REASON.--" Bill,"' said Bob, " why is
that tree called a weeping willow?"—" 'Cause one of the
sneaking dratted things grew near our school-house, and

LAW INTELLIGENCE.
ROLLS' COURT, Jan. 11.

This being the first day of term, the Court heard
motions.

THE ATTORNZT•GENERAL OF THE PRINCE OF WALES

V. LAMBE.

This was a motion on behalf of the Prince of Wales
as Duke of Cornwall for the production by the de-
fendant, Henry Lambe, with the Clerk of the Records
and Writs, for the inspection on behalf of the in-
formant of a deed, dated the 2d of February, 1829,
.and of several other deeds and writings, admitted by
the defendant's answer to be in his possession, with
the maps and plans endorsed on them, &c. The bill
set forth an Act of Parliament of 32 Henry VIII.
respecting the manor of Treverbyn, in Cornwall,
which had descended to two co•heiresses, and was
divided into two manors, called Treverbyn Trevan-
nion and Treverbyn Courtney, and it appeared that
la portion of the deedof the 2d of February, 1829,
had been set forth in the answer. It was argued that
therefore the plain tiff had a right to see the whole of
that deed.

Mr. Turner and Mr. Elmsley were for the produc-
tion; and Mr. Kindersley and Mr. Follett for the
defendant, contra.
Lord LANGDALE said he would read over the
pleadings, and give his opinion on Friday morning.

ARCHES' COURT, Jan. 11.
This being the first day of Hilary Term, the ses-
sions of the Ecclesiastical Courts were opened with
prayers in the usual form.

A clerk from Messrs. Garrard and Co.'s also gave
evidence of this payment.
Mr. Stock, a clerk in- Glyn and Co.'s bank, proved
the payment of the 5001. note, together with another
note for 3001., to the account of the Belfast and
Ballymena Railway and the Limerick Railway, in
the name of Charles Wheeler, a shareholder in each
company, the payment being then made in respect of
the shares held by him.
Mr. Robinson produced a receipt handed to him by
the prisoner, and relating to the above payment,
which he admitted.

Mr. Mullins now proposed to enter upon a charge
against the same prisoner of embezzling 3451., the
amount of a deficiency in his accounts, discovered on
the l st of January instant.
Mr. HENRY said the case could not assume the
form of an embezzlement, unless it appeared that the
prisoner had received and disposed of money of which
he had made no entry in his books.
Mr. Mullins said the• sums were duly entered in
his cash books, but the amount was missing from the
till.

Mr. HENRY said that this was clearly, then, a case
of felony, and the prisoner must be charged with
stealing.
Mr. Mullins said, under these circumstances, he
must ask for a farther remand for a week, upon the
evidence which would be given by Mr. Robinson
upon this charge.
Mr. Robinson then proved that, according to the
prisoner's entries of his cash receipts and payments,
he had to account to the bank for the sum of 532 f.
145., the balance due from him on the 3] st of Decem-
ber. On the following morning, Jan. 1, on his till
being examined, it was found to contain only 1871.
145., showing a deficiency of 3451. The prisoner, in
reply to witness's inquiries upon the subject, stated
that there was a deficiency to the amount named, and
he was prepared to admit it. •
Upon this evidence Mr. HENRY ordered the pri-
soner to be further remanded,
