THE POLYCHRONOGRAPHIC PEN,
Invented by James Heeley and San, Great Charles-street,
Birmingham.
JAMES HEELEY and SON feel gratification in being
enabled to announce the completion of the POLYCHRONO-
GRAPHIC PEN. To the Public Heeley and Son are known as
the inventors of the Radiographic Pen, and they cheerfully em-
brace this opportunity to tender their respectful acknowledg-
ments for the extensive patronage with which they have been
honoured, and for the flattering eulogiums which have been
passed upon their Pen by the leading scientific Journals and
Periodicals of this and Foreign Countries. To the RIIADIO-
- however, there has been one objection, (to which the
'inventors have directed particular attention,) and that consists
in the inefficiency of the Rhadiographic and other metallic pens
to supply the same quantity of ink as a common quill. In their
endeavours to obviate the admitted difficulty, they have perse-
vered with complete success, and have now the pleasure of pre-
senting a Pen, which (from its philosophiqal'principle—from its
026
mechanical construction, and the advafrtage of having the
powers of concave and capillary attracti ,) will at each dip
receive and retain more ink than can be eld either in the quill
or ordinary metallic pen at several cha es.
This superiority will be duly apprecia ed, though only one of
the advantages possessed by the Polychronographic Pen. The
fine quality and flexibility of the steel from which it is manufac-
tured, its peculiar form, and the attention which is bestowed on
the mathematical construction of its slits, are such as to enable
Heeley and Son with confidence to pronounce it as much su-
perior to other metallic pens as the latter are to the rude and
imperfect Calamus of the Ancients.
The piracies to which JAMES HEELEY and SON have been
subjected, not only of their invention, but in some instances
(by a slight orthographical variation) of their name, render
it imperative upon them to request that purchasers will observe,
that on every , 3nuine card is printed, " James Heeley and Son,
146, Gt. Charles-street, Birmingham ;" and, as an additional
security, each card has, at very considerable expense, been
ornamented with an elegant steel engraving, (the design being
copy-right,) price Two Shillings per dozen.

FOUR WHIGS 81511141 T ITC EFFIGY t—At Huddersfield on Tues
day last, a meeting was held respecting the ten hours factor,
hilt. There were about twelve thousand individuals present.
At the conclusion of the proceedings three hearty cheers were
given for Mr. Sadler, three more for the other gentlemen who
had humanely interfered in the behalf of the poor factory chil-
dren; and three groans for Captain Fenton, the present Whig
representative of Huddersfield. In the midst of the cheering, a
band of music entered the market place, heading a process=
with effigies of the three factory commissioners, and an effigy of
Captain Fenton. The effigies, whose heads were charged with
squibs and fire works, were severally carried to the front of the
hustitigs, and there committed to the flames amidst the jeers
and shouts and deep groans of the assembled multitude.
Ct.:mous INSTINCT.—The remarkable instinct by which
wounded and diseased animals are driven away by their fellows
seems to pervade the whole animal race, and serves them in-
stead of quarantine laws. The wounded stag feeds apart from
the herd; give a dog a lashing and all the other dogs hunt it :
or turn a wounded do,o. into a kennel and he is probably eaten
before morning. White mentiorts. that, having wounded a
partridge, which escaped in consequence of darkness, he went
next morning to look for it; the covey rose, some on his right
hand, and some on his left, and just before and over his head
he perceived two birds fly directly against each other, when in-
stantly, to his great astonishment, one of them dropped at
his feet, and proved by the clotted blood on its breast and
wing, to be his wounded bird, while the blood flowed from
a fresh wound on the head. This we are -inclined to attribute
to the instinct of which we have been speaking, though he ex-
plains it in a different way. However, not to insist on that,
we find clear proof that such instict exists in crustacious ani-
mals; for, as we read in the supplemental matter of these parts,
Pere Labat, in describing a species of taurlottrun, found on the
coasts of Barbary, reports, " that these same crustacea cut in
pieces and devour the individuals of their own species which
have been lamed by any accident."
VIDOCQ.—The trial of this terror of French thieves, for
swindling upon his own account, took place before the Cham-
ber of Correctional Police of Paris, on Saturday last. The
appearance of one of the prisoners at the bar was that of a fat
geutleman, dressed in full black, with a sharp eye, a huge
mouth, and a bag of pastilies in his hand, which he used
repeauly. This was no other than Sieur Vidocq, of famous
memory as ex-chief of the Secret Police. Beside him was a
slender young man, M. Lebas, a riband-merchant. From the
accusation preferred against these individuals, the following
facts were elicited :—Vidocq wished to turn to the advantage
of trade the experience which he had amassed during his long
residence in the shops of the Rue de Jerusalem. He esta-
blished, accordingly, an agency office, with an establishment
of clerks; and here, far a small sum annually, all merchants
received secret advices respecting false traders, bankrupts by
profession, and all the skilful sharpers which infest commercial
oaces. Sieur Valette, a raiband-dealer, sold his stock to
Sieur Cramoisi, on the notes furnished by Vidocq; and
Sieur Labas, in his turn, sold also ribands to Cramoisi on the
security of Valette. Lebas having met in the market articles
sold by him for 27 francs, offered for only 10 francs, instantly
bad-his suspicions raised of Cramoisi, and went forthwith to
Vidocq, who, according to the complainant, used his best in-
fluence, together with threats and fraudulent manoeuvres, to
make Valetta guarantee the debt of Cramoisi, and to draw to
the latter for the benefit of Lebas, drafts equivalent to the sum
sine. Cramoisi became a bankrupt and fled, and now Vale tte wants
to recover from Lebas and Vidocq the loss and interest upon it.
Viducq having declared his name, age (58), and his business
of 'commercial agent, although defended by M. Renaud Lebon,
addressed the Court himself as to the facts. He expressed
himself in a Straightforward manner, and frequently found it
necessary to beg for silence on the part of the complainant and
his advocate who were interrupting him. Several witnesses
were called; one of them was examined by Vidocq. Vidocq
(in an authoritative tone)—Silence, Sir, you are telling a
falsehood—you a false witness. (Confusion amongst the audi-
% ence. A great many talking at the same time.) The fact of the
fraudulent manceuvres not being sufficiently established, the
court dismissed the accused with costs, but Lebas was ordered
eo give up the notes.
