our position is, that the distressed operative's are now a'
" hopelessly supplanted class," and that whatever else
you may do for theta, it is quite out of your power, by
any extension of markets or factories, to restore them
to their pristine condition. That there is truth in this
position we have, for our part, no doubt whatever; to

what extent it ►nay involve it, is another and a very

difficult question to determine; that to whatever. point
it may be correct, it furnishes, so far, an argument
against the extensionists—with regard to the pretended
completeness of their measures, and should act as a
call upon the government to take some other means of
providing for those whom the factory has, in all likeli-
hood, done with for ever. Emigration, Colonization,
an amended Poor Law, or any other form of relief may
be looked to for this purpose; but as to the factory,
we are certainly persuaded that therein it will never be
found.

The Corporation of Liverpool having ranted the site of
the late OBSERVATORY, ST. JAMES'S WALK, 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 OF ARTS, 100, Bold-skeet.
The Invention was recently introduced into England, at
the ROYAL POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTION, LONDON; and
the following are a few extracts from the leading Journals
relating to its merits :
(Prom Me Morning Chroniete.)

When we formerly described this process, the time requi-
site for taking a portrait was, generally speaking, about four
minutes ; bat in consequence of the great improvements that
have been made, the time has been reduced to about five se-
conds on a clear day • but during cloudy dull weather the
operation may require from a minute and a half to two minutes.
The portraits taken by this means are really extraordinary
as 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 LIKENESSRB.—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 is truly astonishing,
leaving immeasurably behind it everything that human skill
could effect.

LONDON CORN EXCHANGE, JAN. 7

The Wheat trade continues exceedingly flat, and several parcels
of English are left unsold, for which Monday's prices were asked.
Foreign is completely neglected and scarcely a transaction has
taken place ; there is some inquiry for bonded, but the holders will
not give way in prices, consequently nothing has been sold.
Barley is unaltered in value, Peas and Beans go off slowly. The
great decline in Oats has produced a better demand, and the trade
has recovered the heaviness of Wednesday, and in some instances
a trifling advance has been realized.
ARRIVALS THIS Wass.—English Wheat, 3,060 qrs ; Barley,
8,310 qrs; Oats, 1,780 qrs; Flour, 6,140 sacks. Irish Wheat,
qrs ; Barley. qrs ; Oats; 4,330 qrs. Foreign, Wheat, 1,000 qrs;
Barley, qrs; Oats, 1,3000 qrs; American,

LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE, JAN. 7

The duty has advanced this week to 16s. 10d. per quarter
on Barley,• to 15s. 3d. on Oats, and 12s. 6d. per quarter on
Beans and Pease respectively, continuing unchanged upon
other Grain of Foreign importation, as well as upon all
British Colonial produce.
We have a scanty supply of most articles into this port
during the last three days, with the exception of Malt, of
which there is a fair quantity coastwise ; the only foreign
arrivals consisting of 2600 qrs Wheat, chiefly Mediterra-
nean, and 1200 qrs Beans from Alexandria.
Beyond a very limited retail demand, restricted princi-
pally to purchases of Wheat and Flour by our local dealers,
we have scarcely any business to report in free produce be-
tween Tuesday last and today; and speculation in bonded
Wheats appears to be nearly suspended for the present,
there being no longer any eager disposition to invest at the
rates previously quoted.
Our market this morning was but indifferently attended
by either town or country buyers, and with no lively
symptoms in any department of the trade, all descriptions
of English, Irish, and duty paid Foreign Wheats, con-
tinued to meet a very limited sale to our home millers;
and very few further parcels having been taken for Ireland,
our previous currency was barely sustained : one cargo of
wheat, however, on the passage from Ancona, was reported
as disposed of, to be delivered here in bond at 7s. 6d. per
701bs.
Flour also, was, generally in slow request, and scarcely
maintained late prices.
Barley, Malt, Beans, and Pease, still commanding ver
little notice, hardly retained the reduced rates of Tuesday.
Oats and Oatmeal, in the absence of country demand?'
continued to meet an exceedingly dull sale, and exhibited a
slight tendency to decline in value.

SMITHFIELD CATTLE MARKET, JAN.. 7

Our market to-day was moderately well, but not to say heavily,
supplied with Beasts, the general quality of which was very prime.
The weather being favourable to slaughtering, and the attendance
of buyers numerous, the Beef trade was firm, and Monday's ad.
vanced rates were well supported. From Scotland we received 100
Scots anci 200 Sheep. There was a fair average number of Sheep
in the market, which was cleared off at an early hour on full as
good terms as of late. The veal trade was animated at an advance
of fully 2d per slb. Neat small Porkers sold readily, but in other
kinds next to nothing was passing. Milch Cows sold at from e 1 6
to £2l each. By the quantities of Sibs sinking the offal.

WAKEFIELD CORN MARKET, JAN. 7

We had a large supply of Wheat and Barley to-day, but moderate
,-)f other grain. The demand for Wheat continues exceedingly
languid, and even at a reduction of full is per quarter, our millers
bought very sparingly, selecting only the best samples of old and
new. Fine malting Barley supported late prices, but inferior
samples were Is per quarter cheaper. Oats, Beans, and Peas sold
in small quantities at rather lower prices, but to have effected ex-
tensive sales a considerable reduction must have been submitted
to. Shellings I s per load lower.

our position is, that the distressed operatives are nova

you may do for them, it is quite out of your power, by

ORDER or T 1 GAI.tTE:t.—To skew the estimation in
which Foreigners hold this order; a slight anecdote will suffice.
At the close of the war, and at the Congress of Vienna, when
diplomatic compliments sad civilities were flying about pretty
thick, Prince Metternica made a formal application for the
Garter, but it was refused him on the ground that no
Foreigner could he a member unless he was a Crowned flead
and tins was to a man who
or a descendant of George ;
was a member of almost every other, Order of Chivalry in
Europe, to the number of forty. This rule has, however,
not been acted on during the present reign ; for the Prince
of Leinengen, and the Duke of Coburg, have each been made
knights. Should the King of Prussia come to the christen-
ing, it is most likely he will leave the kingdom with the

The Corporation of Liverpool having granted the site of
the late OBSERVATORY, ST. JAMES'S WALK, a neat and
elegant Building has been erected thereon, in whieh the
PHOTOGRAPHIC APPARATUS, the discovery of whleh
is ranked among the greatest scientific achievements of the
present age, is now in DAILY OPERATION.

A FRAME, IS ONE GUINEA.

Specimens may be seen, and Orders reee;ml. at Mr. LA-,
CEY S REPOSITORY OF ARTS, 100, Bold-seat.
The Invention was recently introduced into England, at
the, ROYAL POLYTECHNIC 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 requi-
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 • but during cloudy dull weather the
operation may require from a minute and a half to two minutes.
The portraits taken by this means are really extraordinary
as 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 LIRE'NESSES.—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 is truly astonishing,
leaving immeasurably behind it everything that human 0611
could effect.
