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.

hereby notified,N °7ls
reign Affairs, has received from Lord Cowley, her
Majesty's Minister Plenipotentiary at the Sublime
Porte. a dispatch, dated the Ist of December
last, inclosing an official communication from Aali
Effendi, the Turkish Minister of Foreign Affairs, stat-
ing that the Porte has raised the blockade of the coast
oeAlbania.
The tenour of the official note from the Turkish
Minister is as follovvs:—

" I then expose the plate in the camera obscura
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 is to the use of this substance I
shall give the preference. The following is the man-
ner in which I prepare my plates 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 kigh a
degree of perfection as the image on the plate of
silver. _ _

(Translation.)
It was notified to you, M. le Ministre, by an official
note, dated 21 Shaaban last (3d August), that the coasts
of that part of Albania, called Toscalij, were blockaded,
and that the blockade would continue until the acts
of rebellion committed by certain seditious persons were
repressed; now, according to the official intelligence '
which the Sublime Porte has just received from his
Excellency Rechid Pacha, Mushir of the army of
Roumelia, the rebels being unable to resist the Imperial
troops have:been completely dispersed, and, thanks be to
God, trouble and disorder have given place to safety and
tranquillity; and I have in consequence the satisfaction
to announce to you without delay, that the blockade
in question is raised from the 18th of Ziloandi last (Octo-
ber 28th).

ADMIRALTY, JAN. 10.
The Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty do hereby
give notice to such Lieutenants in her Majesty's navy as
are desirous of being recommended for the appointment
of Naval Knight of Windsor, under the will of the late
Samuel Travers, Esq., that they must apply at this office
on or before the 11th day of February next, when they
will be informed of the nature of the certificates and
testimonials which are required to show that they come
within the meaning of the said will, which expresses that
" they aro to be superannuated or disabled lieutenants of
English men of war," and shall be "single men, without
children, inclined, to lead a virtuous, studious, and
devout life, to be removed if they give occasion for
scandal." H. G. WARD.

" 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 mast 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 he necessary, 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 60 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.

LAW INTELLIGENCE. 1
BOLLS' COURT, Jan. 11.
This being the first day of term, the Court heard
motions.
THE ATTORNEY-GENERAL or THE PRINCE OP 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
a portion of the deedlof 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.

BENEFIT OP ADYERTISING.—Of all the facilities
for business afforded by newspapers, the advertising
columns afford the greatest. They put it into every
man's power 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 he 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 than 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.—Advertising Almantrek.
LIE RAILWAY PIONEER.—WC 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. Wo should be glad to find that some
efforts were made •
.g‘':lgianu to vindicate her from the
reproaches of ingratitude towards one whose labours
nave in any degree led to the development of that noble
system of communication, at the bead of which this
country staids prominent. Boxes hare been set up at
the stations of several Belgian lines for the reception of
, contributions towards the fund which, unhappily, the
I necessities of Mr. Gray render even more imperatiivie

way formation. We shall be glad to find the example
adopted in other countres, where testimonials are so

TUE 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 little 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 am
just going to bed."—Family Joe Miller.
" Ali, doctor, how is my wife to•day ?" 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?"

force the door, upon doing which, and accusing the
prisoner, whom he found in the company of a noto-
rious thief, she also denied all knowledge of the rob-
bery' but upon searching her pocket he found a silk
handkerchief belonging to the boy's mother, and
which the lad had also taken to carry away the pro-
perty.
Mr. Henry Roberts, a pawnbroker, in Old-street,
produced a pair of earrings, which were identified by
the prosecutor's wife, and stated that they had been
deposited at his shop on the 7th instant by the pri-
soner Hine, who afterwards redeemed them, but
pledged them again upon the following day.
When called upon for their defence, both prisoners
positively denied all knowledge of the watch, and
said that the other articles of jewellery had been
freely given to them by the son of the prosecutor and
his companion.
Mr. lissimmt considered that the case had been
fully established, but ordered the prisoners to be
brought up again next week, to afford the police an
opportunity of tracing the remainder of the property.
SOUTHWARK.
William Jackson, a young lad, about 16 years of
age, was placed at the bar before Mr. Cottingham,
charged with stealing a valuable German poodle dog,
the property of a gentleman named George Henry.
Complainant stated, that about three months ago he
lost a valuable dog, for which he would not have
taken 10/. He offered a handsome reward for it, but
still he could gain no tidings Of it until yesterday,
when passing by, the Royal Exchange, he saw the
prisoner and a man with two dogs in their possession,
which they offered for sale. He instantly perceived
that the dog which the. prisoner had in his arms was
his property, and was convineed. when he called it by
its name. The prisoner wanted 51. for it, but witness
went with him to his house in Silver-street, Union-
street, when he called a policeman and gave the pri-
soner into custody.
The dog was identified as Mr. Henry's property by
two witnesses.
Police-constable 194 M, said, that he was called to
take the prisoner into custody. The dog in question
made his escape from him, as well as the man who
was with the prisoner, but to show that the dog be-
longed to Mr. Henry, it returned to his house directly,
and was recognized by the servants. On examining
the prisoner's house, he found ten dogs, the majority
of them of a valuable. description. There were ter •
riers' spaniels, and one little valuable dog which could
be placed in a pint pot. All of them he believed to
have been stolen.
Mr. COTTINGIMM asked, who was the man the pri-
soner was with ?—The police-constable replied that it
was the father of the prisoner. He supplied vessels
going abroad with dogs, and had every facility of
disposing of stolen ones. After be took the prisoner
to the station-house, he went to his lodgings, and
found some valuable dogs, all of which he believed
were stolen.
Mr. COTTINGUAM said that he was of the same
opinion, and he believed that if the press took notice
of the case, that owners would come forward and own
do animals. He should certainly advise the con-
stable to take charge of them for the present. As for
the prisoner. he must tell him that he had been guilty
of a very serion.,`.' offence. The law relating to dog
stealing had been altek.".!d, and the magist.tr_ate. s had the
power
to inflict very heavy r enalties,
was quite h imprison-
tclear
ment, where the case was proven'. I
of clog
that the prisoner was connected with a ga,n,g.
stealers, and as he had been found in posse.. sum of a
tenths'
stolen dog, he should fine him 40s. or two rn.
imprisonment.
After the prisoner was removed from the dock, the
Magistrate directed !the officer to take care of the
other dogs, and apprehend the prisoner's father as
soon as possible.
The Magistrate begs to acknowledge the receipt of
the sum of 101. from the Worshipful Company of
Mercers, for the poor-box of the police-court.

is 13 per ruffle, which, at the English Mint price of
31. 17s. 1061.. per ounce for standard gold, gives an ex-
change of y 5.47 ; and the exchange at Paris on London
at short being 25.65, it follows that gold is 0.70 per
cent. dearer in London than in Paris. By advices from
Ilaniburgh the price of gold is 4341 per mark, which, at
the English Mint price of 31. 17s. lOid. per ounce for
