Hunter, Messrs. Moorgate-street. A magnificent side-
board, made of English walnut, with black marble
slab and mirror. The table is supported on cornu-
copias and dolphins' heads, carved so as to represent
the walnut, the pomegranate, the melon, and other
fruits; and surmounted on each side with a head, one
representing youth, and the other old age. The table is
of black Galwaymarble, and is entirely without blemish.
At the back is a mirror, the frame being also of walnut,
and carved with fruit, the vine stem with grapes, and the
hop plant. On one side is a hound, and on the other
a wild boar, emblematic of the chase; and in the centre
of the back is the head of Bacchus, indicative of full
maturity, surmounted with the palm. The sculptur-
ing of all the three heads is most expressive. The
length of the sideboard is 11 feet 9 inches; height, 8
feet. It is proportioned and well sustained, and is
adapted for a richly furnished baronial hall. It is
accompanied by a cellaret, also of walnut, and carved
to correspond, surmounted at each corner by goats'
heads and horns. At the foot is a vine stem with
grapes and fox's heads, the fox looking up at them.
Besides these were two richly-carved chairs, likewise
of walnut

ing, railway waggon-covering, &c., of various quali-

Jackson, Elizabeth, 47, Eastbauk-street, Southport. A
vase of shell flowers. The story of its fabrication is
interesting. She is reported to be a poor woman up-
wards of 40 years of age, and formerly laboured for
years far below ground, in a coal-pit. She had the
misfortune to fall down the shaft, a great depth, and
sustained severe and lasting injury. Subsequently
she married a poor fisherman of Southport, and is the
mother of eleven children, eight of whom are still liv-
ing and around her. her first attempt to contribute
to the support of the family was, by making little
models of cottages, churches, &c., and adorning
them with sand and shells gummed upon the surface.
With the money thus earned she tried to form shell
flowers, but only in a small way, and with limited
means, and by no means good materials, till one day
her husband came home after a severe storm, and
mentioned that he had found and left on the beach a
branch of a tree covered with what he called barnacles
adhering to it. She re quested him to bring it home,
as she thought she could make something of it. She
found the shells to be of a kind offering excellent ma-
terial for the construction of flowers. Each pair
(bivalve) consists of two large and two smaller over-
lapping plates, and one long taper proboscis-like fila-
ment of shell. These her husband procures for her
in large quantities; and having cleansed them and
made , them beautifully white, this ingenious and
wholly self-taught artist proceeds to construct flowers
from natural models, with a taste and judgment,which
under the circumstances, are moat extraordinary in a
poor fisherman's wife. A person seeing some speci-
mens of her skill, ordered some more, which were to
he'd the most elaborate character, as they were des-
tined for the great Exhibition. She completed them,
and learned, to her great disappointment, when de-
livered and paid for, that the purchaser deemed
them his own, and positively refused to at-
tach her name to them. It was then too
late for her to commence afresh and com-
plete any considerable work within the limited time
remaining; but Mr. B. Fothergill, of Southport, being
at Southport, and learning her story, wrote to Mr.
Thomas Bszley, detailing the circumstances, and
through that gentleman's representations to n
in
s
col-
leagues, the Royal Commissioners, he succeeded
ob-
taining special permission for a piece of this curious
shell-work to be received later. The whole work,
mounted on a stand, and covered with a glass shade, is
about 2 feet 6 inches in height, and will not occupy
a foot square of table space. In a porcelain vase are
grouped together a collection of exotic and other
choice flowers, mingled with wild flowers and the blos-
soms of some of our flowering plants, trees, and hedges,
The foot of the vase is encircled with a simply elegant
wreath of the hedge or briar rose. The stems and leaves
are produced from the makers of artificial flowers in
London; and the artist has also procured thence the
the pigments with which she tints the flowers with so
much delicacy and accuracy as to make them closely
resemble nature

brought this process, and the admirable adaptation of
their tools (in itself a labour of years, and the fruit of
long experiment and many failures) to produce the
minutest tracery on the glass in the manner best suited
for heightening the effect by the silvering, and the
rich appearance of the finished work—have induced
Mr. Kidd to use the expressive term 'embroidered' "
King, Lowther-street, Whitehaven. Aldobrand's Cabi-
net. It is entirely composed of British oak, in three
varieties, pale, brown, and black. Part of the pale
variety was grown on the property of Captain Irwin,
near Calder Abbey. The black was found by the
Rev. Henry Lowther, embedded ten feet below the
present surface of the soil, whilst digging a deep'
drain on some peat moss at Distington. The design
of the cabinet was suggested by the description of
that belonging to Oldbuck, in Scott's novel of " The
Antiquary," and the details are intended to com-
memorate the early progress of the art of printing
and the Reformation. The lower part, which is 5 ft.
6 in. by 2 ft. 6 in., contains, in the front, two deep
recesses, with two drawers above, containing secret
drawers, by way of keeping up the character of the
old cabinet. The two drawers are fronted by carving
in light oak, surrounded by a carved moulding in
black ditto. Externally, the front recesses present
two Saxon arches of black oak with twisted columit
divided by a brown oak bracket. One corner
