BIRMINGHAM CORN MARKET. DEC. 15.
The few transactions reported in Wheat are under the rates of
last market day; some soft Odessa having changed hands at Is per
621135, and old English at Is to Is Id per 621bs. Malting and
grinding Barley firmer, but we have no life in the trade. Some
Oats have found buyers at former prices. In Beans and Peas very
little doing.

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, DEC. 14.
The demand has been so limited to-day that the sales do
not exceed 1500 bales, at barely yesterday's prices. There
is an evident desire to push off the new Bowed, but buyers
look very shy at them, consequently little progress is made
in sales, and what little is done is at lower prices, for the old
crop.

LIVERPOOL HAY AND POTATOE MARKET,
DECEMBER 16.

Boisterous and foul weather still continues to prevent vessels
from either getting into, or leaving this port. In consequence of
which the stock of Potatoes on board vessels is near exhausted—
the town and country dealers buying verl freely for these two
days past—influenced by this cause, prices keep gradually ad-
vancing.

Mani, Scotch and Irish Cups is 10d to 2s per golb.
The demand for all descriptions of local farm produce is also
better, and prices a shade higher.
Pink-eye Potatoes 2s to 2s 4d ; Cups Is gd to 2s ; Short Tops
Is 7d to Is led ; Cattle Is 4d to Is 7d per 901 b. Turnips 20s to
225 fd ; Manglewurzle 20s ; Carrots 40s to 50s per ton. Old Hay
8d to I lid ; new 6d to laid; Clover 7d to lld per 2011). Wheat
Straw 4d to 4id; Oat 3d to 4d per 241 b.

LONDON CORN EXCHANGE, DEC. 13.
Although the supply of English Wheat exceeded that of last
week, it was moderate for the season, and the condition much
worse than we have hitherto seen it ; the relative value was much
the same as last week, and it is only dry samples that will reach
our utmost quotations. We do not observe any alteration in
foreign, which meets with a steady demand in retail quantities.
There is some inquiry for Mediterranean in bond at the same rates.
Barley is a dull sale and rather lower. Peas of all sorts are Is to
2s cheaper, and Beans are selling at a reduction of is per quarter.
Good Oats realised the same prices, but the inferior Irish are lower
and much neglected.

WEDNESDAY, Dec. 15.
The supplies are considerable this morning of every article ex-
cepting English Wheat, but the trade is extremely dull at the rates
of the last market day. The samples remain still so wet and unfit
for use without admixture with foreign Wheat, and this latter
article is held at prices so excessive, that the business is conse-
quently confined to the most pressing supplies for immediate use.

FELONY

Thomas Barrow, a respectable-looking man, aged 26, was
charged with having stolen a deptb-tool and a minaturc, the
property of Richard Copeland, and twenty-three watch move-
ments, one depth•tool, fourteen sets of chains, ten sets of
hands, and one box, the property of Lewis Henry Samuel.
It was proved that the prisoner worked at the shop of Mr.
Samuel. The articles above-mentioned were missed in March
last. On the 3d of November last the prisoner's house was
searched, when nearly the whole of the goods were found
there.
The jury found the prisoner guilty, and the RECORDER
sentenced him to twelve months imprisonment.

TO CORRESPONDENTS

We have made some inquiries relative to the remarks of a
correspondent, in our last, about the organ at Trinity
Church, and find that the person who officiates at that
instrument is remunerated entirely by private subscription,
a considerable portion of which comes out of the pocket
of the minister; and the remainder is supplied by the con-
gregation ; but the whole amount is not adequate to obtain
the services of an efficient organist, and hence arises the
grievances of which our correspondent complains. Does
" A Sufferer" contribute liberally towards the fund ?
The Rev. Mr. Nolan begs thankfully to acknowledge the
receipt of £2 from " A Wellwisher," towards the en-
largement of St. Barnabas' Church, and wishes also to
expre,s his grateful sense of the kind and Christian spirit
that breathes through the letter which conveyed them.—Mr.
Nolan's name was, through a stupid blunder, printed
Urlaw" in our last.

IS NOW OPEN

The Corporation of Liverpool having granted the site of
the late OBSERVATORY, ST..JAMES's WALic, 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 reee,ved. at Mr. LA-
CEY S REPOSITORY or ARTS, 100, Bold-sheet.

The Invention was recently introduced into England, at
the ROYAL POLTTECDNIC INSTITUTION, LONDON ; and
the following are a few extracts from the leading Journals
relating to its merits:— . .

(From the Morning Chronicle.)

When we formerly described this process, the time reqni-
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 ; bu►. during cloudy dull weather the
operation may require from a minute and shelf to two minutes.
The portraits taken by this means are really extraordinary
us 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 Littriczssrs.—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 As truly astonishing,
leaving immeasurably behind it everything that human skill
could effect.

O u
Liverpool, Merseyside, England, 1841-12-17

Over our spirit's chords ; and nature's law obeys !

The episode of "Knox before the Lords of the Congrega-
tion" is powerfully written. Mr. Swain has given a vivid
picture of that extraordinary scene—wherein Knox defied
Hamilton to hii teeth, although threatened with instant death,
if he persisted in preaching his doctrines. It is given in a
true Protestant spirit. The influence of the Sabbath is shown
with an intentness rnd fervour that greatly enhances, in our
opinion, the character of this poem, and places the author in
a pleasing light. A Sabbath Morning is feelingly described.
Prayer at Sea is thus mentioned—
Prayer
on the waters—o'er the wintry Sea,
Where, like a spire, the lonely mast appears,
Lifting the Seaman's thoughts to Deity !
Prayer on the waters! Prayer to Him who hears
All human wrongs—all human sorrow cheers ;
Prayer, the best anchor of a soul deprest :
Though sunk in doubt, the shipwreck'd spirit fears
The grave to come, with horrors unconfest ;
Yet shall that anchor save, clasped to a drowning breast.
Morn, Noon, or Eve—oh Sea! solemn or wild,
I list the myriad echoes of thy tongue—
Thy first low matin to the morning mild,
Thy chorus to the Sun God deep and strong,
Thy lonely vesper to the starry throng !
The
poetry of waters—blending free
All harmonies of beauty, grace, and song—
Awakening thoughts of melodies to be
Beyond thy sounding shore, thou reverential Sea !
We doubt whether two finer stanzas on the subject can be
found in the English language. The following on " Love"
is sweetly written, We have often admired Knowles's de-
cription of this passion. This is equal to any of his ; that is
saying much in its favour :
Love ? I will tell thee what it is to love !
It is to build with human thoughts a shrine,
Where Hope sits brooding like a beauteous dove •
Where Time seems young—and Life a'Thing divine.
All tastes—all pleasures—all desires combine
To consecrate this sanctuary of bliss.
Above—the stars in shroudless beaut y.sh.
kround—the streams their flowerymargins

And if there's heaven on earth, that heaven is surely this,
The episode, of which the above is a portion, alludes to the
death of a ming maid. The following is gracefully giVen—
And, oh ! that wreath—the last her sister twined—

Whose n ee
heart-shaped leaves, slow falling, seen?" to say
. .

Thus shall the friends forsake thee—lift behind,—
Thus pass thy memory from their souls away :
Or, -but in transient thought, unlovely, stray,
Like a pour,ilower that welcomeless appears !--
But, no, she wronged them' ; where they used to playr
Oh, tpany yet watild speak of her with tears ; -
And think of all her lave, her truth, in those-gone years.
The poem concludes with an " Apostrophe to the Star of
