ing in the stone with aquafortis, applying printingink to it, as to wood engravings, and thus taking impressions from it. In this he succeeded. From Senefelder's time up to the present day, the art of Lithography has gone on gradually improving. The lithotint process of Mr. Hullmandel may be thus described:-The drewing having been sketched, tinted, and finished by the artist on the stone with lithographic ink, mixed with water to produce the various shades, is covered over with gum water, and weak nitric acid, to fix it; after waiting a sufficient time to dry, a solution of rosin and spirits of wine is poured over the stone, and as this ground contracts by drying, it cracks into millions of reticulations, which can only be discovered by the use of a microscope; very strong acid is then poured over the aquatint coating which, entering all the fissures, produces the same effect on the stone as the granulations of the chalk by the ordinary process. The rosin protects the drawing everywhere but in the cracks, and having remained a sufficient time to act on the unprotected parts of the drawing, the ground is washed off, and all appearance of the subject on the stone vanishes, until, ink being applied by a roller in the ordinary way, it is reproduced, and ready for taking off the required number of impressions, which in some cases have extended to the number of 2,000.Athenæum. ANCIENT COINS-From Brittany, we hear of a discovery which has been made in the fine old Cathedral of Saint Pol-de-Léon. The workmen engaged in repairing the vault, discovered a vase of baked clay, which being broken, was found to contain some thirty ancient coins, of the fourteenth century. They are all the coins of contemporary princes-placed there, no doubt, to indicate the date of the portion of the building in which they were discovered the greater number of them being of the dukes of Brittany. Amongst these pieces there are one of John, Count of Montfort, who died in 1345, the father of Duke John IV., and husband of the celebrated Jeanne de Montfort, the daughter of Louis Count of Flanders and Nevers, who died at Cressy, in 1346,—one of this latter prince,-one of Edward III., of England, who was John's ally in his wars against France, and the father of his first wife-one of David, King of Scot. land, one of Phillip of Valois,-and several of Charles V.-Athenæum, OBITUARY. S DEATH OF HIS ROYAL HIGHNESS THE DUKE OF USSEX. It is our melancholy duty to announce the death of his Royal Highness the Duke of Sussex, who expired at Kensington Palace at a quarter-past twelve yesterday afternoon. The fatal termination of his illness, though sudden, was not wholly unexpected. For the last few days the most serious fearswere entertained thathis Royal Highnesscould not survive many hours. The death of a prince of the blood royal must always be a painfulevent ina country so remarkable as England for the loyalty of its people; but in the case of the late Duke of Sussex there were many circum-stances calculate to cause regret at his departure from amoung us. Independent altogether of the supposed coincidence of his views on general affairs with those of a particular political party, and the consequent especial and particular causes of lamentation which they may conceive themselves to have in the loss of one who from his station lent a sort of respectability to them, there were many personal qualities exhibited from time to time by him whch excited the regard of a large portion of his country men. Of his position as a politician it is not intended here to speak, except merely to indicate what it was; but it may be well to record a few of those peculiarities which characterized him, and are identified with his name in the memories of the people. It is true that his claims were rather of a nega tive than a positive character; but even negative virtues acquire an additional value when exhibited in the conduct of one occupying so high a place and exposed to so many temptations of rank and authority, and of the imagined license which attends the royal station. It has not generally been the custom for princes of the blood royal of England to take an active part in political affairs. In some instances-especially in that of the present King of Hanover-they may have slighty overstepped the tacit rule; but their general practice has been to appear as seldom as possible in their public capacity as peers of Parliament, and then mainly to confine themselves to such questions as might be thought immediately or remotely to affect the stability of the throne, or the personal respectability of the reigning family. At the same time, however, either motives of policy, or those specific opinions on affairs which no native of a free country, however high his station, can be wholly without, have induced them to CHIMNEYS.-A plan has been proposed by Mr. J conciliate different classes of the country, by alMoon, architect, for a new construction of chimneys.lowing themselves to be supposed to coincide with It was stated that, as cleansing chimneys by boys them in their general principles.

CURIOSITY FROM CHINA.-The museum of the United Service Institution, has been enriched by the addition of the identical cage in which Mrs. Noble was for six weeks confined. It is roughly made of thick bars of wood, and is so small that the unfortunate captive must have remained during the whole time in a crouching position. Still in general accordance with the practice alluded to, the late Duke of Sussex did not frequently address the House, scarcely ever except when he felt that there was some paramount necessity. Like all his royal brothers, he never spoke at any length-avoiding argument and betrayals of politi cal feeling more than were actually necessary to tions of nature, and during the last illness of George the Fourth a reconcilement took place. utterance-no outward sign of any decay of the mental powers. The public life of his late Royal Highness was not of a character to present much foundation for a biographical notice. As has been said, he did not frequently address the House of Lords, and his opinions and predilections were rather to be inferred from his associations than drawn from actual declarations. But in his private life there were some circumstances of a peculiar and even roman. tic nature. the simple indication of opinion. His time and attention were in preference bestowed on more worthy and more dignified objects-on the study and the patronage of the arts and sciences, of which he was a liberal and ever ready supporter.

But all these remonstrances were ineffectual, the provisions of the statute were held to be not less neces As a speaker in Parliament he was observable for facility of expression, and a straightforward simplicity and frankness in the expression of his opinions. His voice was clear, sonorous, and manly, and his delivery unembarrassed. No one, who once saw him could possibly mis-sary than peremptory, and the result was that take him. Very tall, and physically well develop ed, he maintained in his youth and manhood the character of his family as one of the finest races of men in the kingdom. Not so handsome as George IV., he was, nevertheless, a man of marked and striking appearance, much resembling the late duke of York. Towards the close of his life, however, he grew infirm from the gout and other illnesses, so much so that it was with difficulty that he was able to rise and address the House. Sometimes he was requested to speak from his seat, as Lord Wynford invariably does. What in youth had been full muscular development became, as he grew old, portliness, and almost unwieldiness. Still it was not the bloated looseness which indicates a constitution over-tasked by excess, but the natural expansion and fulness in decay of originally fine organization. His costume was very singular. A blue or black coat (like a great coat), often with bright buttons, and with very long and ample skirts reaching almost to the feet, was buttoned closely over the breast, fit ting tight to the fulness of the figure. Above this compact mass rose his large fine head, hoary with the snows of nearly seventy years-white, rather than gray, hair falling on either side from the bald and shining surface-beetling in a thick brow over the eyes, the very lashes of which were also white, and covering the cheeks even down to the chin in whiskers not less snowy. This gave to his general figure a venerable appearance, like some aged pastor. But more generally the late duke wore a close-fitting black velvet skull-cap, that contrasted in a marked way with the white hair, and gave to his contour the air one might at tribute to a cardinal in undress. But although these attributes of feebleness and age were so prominent as to make it impossible to forget the duke's figure when once you saw it, yet when he claimed the attention of the House there was no want of intellectual vigor-no faltering of the marriage was in August, 1794, declared by the Ecclesiastical Court to be null and void. Two children-the present Sir Augustus D'Este and Miss D'Este-were the issue of this marriage. On the decision of Court being made known, Lady Augusta felt it to be due to herself to separate from her husband, and she retired into an honorable seclusion. The position of Sir Augustus D'Este and his sister is a most peculiar one. Recognized in society, and admitted to the royal circle as the children of the duke, they are not legitimatized. Yet they are of royal blood by their mother's side as well as their father's. Lady Augusta's father was the Earl of Galloway; so that by both parents Sir Augustus descends from Henry the Seventh, James the Second of Scotland, and William the First of Orange. As the son of the Lady Augusta Murray, he stood towards his father in the relationship of seventh cousin. Sir Augustus is an officer in the army, and is deputy ranger of St. James's and Hyde Parks. He has never married. In 1801 the prince was created Duke of Sussex (the dukedom being created for him) and Earl of Inverness. He was also Baron of Arklow. £12,000 a year was awarded him by Parliament, and subsequently an additional sum of £9,000 a year. Always of Liberal sentiments, the circumstances attending the dissolution of the marriage made him still more averse to the Court, and still more disposed to adopt the views of the Whigs. On the death of his father further differences arose from his wholly disapproving of the conduct of George the Fourth towards Queen Caroline. He was therefore absent from Court, and chose his associ. ates elsewhere. The present Lord Dinorben, when Mr. Hughes, used frequently to be his host, together with Mr. Coke, of Norfolk, and other gentlemen. The estrangement between the royal brothers, however, could not hold out against the common affec On the accession of her Majesty there was some public talk of an attempt to legitimatize the son and daughter of the late duke, but the political obstacles were deemed insurmountable. Meanwhile his Royal Highness had espoused (according to the form which had already been declared illegal) the Lady Cecilia Underwood. As some compensation for the former proceeding, the duke's influence with his royal niece obtained for the Lady Cecilia the title of Duchess of Inverness, and in the royal circle she was recognized as his wife. At the dinner given to her Majesty at Guildhall, the Duchess sat at the Queen's table. Altogether the death of the illustrious duke will be sincerely lamented; yet it was in the course of nature at seventy years of age. There are now but two survivors of the sons of George the Third. Of those royal princes none has exhibited in private life to a greater degree than the Duke of Sussex qualities that tended to conciliate the personal regard even of those who deprecated his political opinions.-Britannia. REV. FRANCIS WRANGHAM, M. A.-Dec. 27. At his residence in Chester, aged 73, the Rev. Francis Wrangham, M. A., F. S. A., late Archdeacon of the East Riding of York, Chaplain to the Archbishop of York, Canon of York and Chester, and Rector of Hunmanby, Yorkshire, and of Dodleston, Cheshire. Mr. Wrangham was a member of the Roxburghe and Bannatyne clubs; and, as honorary adjunct, of several philosophical and literary societies. We now proceed to give a list of his numerous publications. He is said to have published anonymously, in 1792, an anti-radical parody on part of a comedy of Aristophanes, with critical notes, entitled, Reform, a farce, 8vo. In 1794, he sent to the press, The Restoration of the Jews, a Seaton prize poem, 4to. In 1795. The Destruction of Babylon, a poem, 4to. And a volume of Poems, 8vo. In 1798, Rome is Fallen, a Visitation Sermon preached at Scarborough, 4to. In 1800, The Holy Land,a Seaton prize poem.4to. In 1801, Practical Sermons, founded on Doddridge's Rise and Progress of Religion in the Soul.

In 1802, Leslie's Short and Easy Method with the Deists, and the Truth of Christianity demonstrated, with Four additional Marks, 8vo. In 1803, The Raising of Jairus's Daughter, a And The Advantages of Diffused Knowledge, a Charity School Sermon, 4to. poem, 8vo. In 1808, A Dissertation on the best means of Civilizing the Subjects of the British Empire in India, and of diffusing the Light of the Christian Religion throughout the Eastern World, 4to. And in the same year, The Restoration of Learning in the East, a poem, 4to. This was published at the express desire of the three judges appointed by the University of Cambridge to award Mr. Buchanan's prizes. In 1809, The corrected edition of Langhorne's Plutarch's Lives, with many additional notes, 6 vols. 8vo. And two Assize Sermons, 4to. In 1809, A Sermon preached at Scarboro, at the Primary Visitation of the Archbishop of York, 4to. In 1811, The Sufferings of the Primitive Martyrs, a Seaton prize poem, 4to. In 1812, Joseph made known to his Brethren, a Seaton prize poem, 4to. In 1813, The Death of Saul and Jonathan, a poem, 8vo. In 1814, Two Assize Sermons, 4to. In 1816, The British Plutarch, in six vols. 8vo. In 1817, Forty Sonnets from Petrarch, printed (with every advantage of typography) by Sir. S. Egerton Brydges, Bart., at his private press, Lee Priory, Kent. In 1820, Dr. Zouch's Works collected, with a Prefatory Memoir, in two vols. 8vo., and a collec tion of Archbishop Markham's Carmina Quadrages. imalia, &c., in 4to and 8vo. for private circulation. In 1821, A Charge delivered to the Clergy of the Archdeaconry of Cleveland, 8vo.-And the Lyrics of Horace, being a translation of the first four Books of his Odes. 8vo. Second edition in 4to. and 8vo. for private distribution only, 1832. In 1822. A second Charge, delivered to the Clergy of the Archdeaconry of Cleveland, 8vo. In 1823, Two Assize Sermons, 8vo.--And a third Charge delivered to the Clergy of the Archdeaconry of Cleveland, 8vo. In 1824, Sertum Cantabrigiense; or the Cambridge Garland, 8vo. In 1828, Bp. Walton's Prolegomena to the Polyglot Bible, with copious annotations, in 2 vols. 8vo. under the sanction of the University of Cambridge; which, with her accustomed munificence, defrayed the expense of the publication. The Plead, or Evidence of Christianity, forming the twenty-sixth volume of Constable's Miscellany. In 1829, a Letter to the clergy of the Archdea. conry of the East Riding of Yorkshire, on the Ro man Catholic claims; of which Mr. Wrangham had, for upward of thirty years, been the firm but temperate advocate. He occasionally employed his leisure by printing (for private circulation exclusively) Centuria Mirabilis, and The Saving Bank, 4to. The Doom of the Wicked, a Sermon founded upon Baxter, and The Virtuous Woman, a Funeral Discourse on the Death of the Rt. Hon. Lady Anne Hudson, 8vo. and a few copies of a Catalogue of the English por tion of his voluminous library; which, with characters of the subjects, authors, or editions, forms 642 pages, 8vo. (See Marton's Catalogue of Privately Printed Books, p. 235.) Psychæ, or Songs of Butterflies, by T. H. Bayly, Esq., attempted in Latin rhymes to the same airs, with a few additional trifles, 1828. (Privately printed.) And several of his elegant poetical trans lations have from time to time appeared in our own pages. In 1842, Mr. Wrangham presented to Trinity College, Cambridge, his valuable collection of pam phlets, consisting of between 9 and 10,000 publica. tions, bound in about 1000 volumes. As a literary man he was in an especial degree the laudatus a laudatis-as one whose scholarship received the homage of Parr, and whose poetry the still rarer eulogy of Byron. As a theological writer, his compositions were characterized by a sound orthodoxy and mild benevolence; while the gentleness and timidity of his nature in some measure disqualified him from bringing forward so earnestly and promi nently, as is now generally done, those particular truths of the Gospel in which he was a firm believ er through life, and to which he clung as his only ground of confidence in his later years of calm decay. Mr. Wrangham was twice married. His first wife was Agnes, fifth daughter of Col. Ralph Creyke, of Marton, in Yorkshire, by whom he had only one daughter, late the wife of the Rev. Robert Isaac Wilberforce, Archdeacon of the East Riding of York, and son of the justly revered senator and philanthropist of that name. His second wife, who survives to deplore his loss, was Dorothea, daughter and co-heiress of the Rev. Digby Cayley, of Thormanby, in the county of York.-Gentlemen's Magazine. BIBLIOGRAPHICAL NOTICES. Great Britain. Inglis's Solitary Walks through Many Lands.Third Edition. London: Whittaker & Co.1843. THE late lamented author of "Walks through Many Lands," was not one of those who travel from Dan to Beersheba, proclaiming that all is barrenness-on the contrary, there is no prospect, however sterile, but he invests, in some measure, with the line of his own poetical imagination :— "Nothing is lost on him who sees, With an eye that feeling gives, No adventure, however perplexing, that has power to ruffle his equanimity, or render him unjust or querulous in his judgments of his fellow men. The present edition of his Wanderings, comes to us with a melancholy interest, since the ear is now deaf, alike to our praise or our blame. Yet we rejoice to welcome it in its present cheap form, which must render it accessible to a numerous class of readers, to whom economy is an object. they, who gazing on its loveliness, find it impos. sible for thought to rest there, receiving from it but an impulse which sends them into the wide fields of rich imagination, there to luxuriate, are altogether of another race of beings. The author of these "Floral Fancies" possesses this discursiveness of mind. Every flower seems to have suggested a fable. The world is full of parallels, had man but the wit to trace them out. They are in fact but evidences of similar origin from the same Almighty mind, and exist as much morally as physically. The various characters of man may to a certain degree be traced in the various flowers which bedeck his path, and surely he need not disdain to read the lesson written by the Divine hand. For ourselves, we love the graceful teaching, and see not why these beautiful denizens of our fields and gardens, so richly robed and garni. tured, may not preach as holy a sermon as any mitred prelate. Our author then has drawn a moral from every flower, inculcating either a lesson against some vice or folly, or recommending the practice of some grace or moral good. Pretty fictions are woven into the matters of fact connected with the nume The period is now past for entering into any length-rous floral families brought before our notice, all ened criticism on the devious journeyings of Mr. Inglis; but when the press groans with works of coarse humor, and some even of questionable morality, we conceive the public owe a debt of gratitude to the spirited publishers of the "Popular Library of Modern Authors," of which this forms a portion, and trust they may receive sufficient encouragement to warrant its continuance.

Also an explanation of the German Chain Rule, as applicable to the Calculation of Exchanges. Second Edition, revised and enlarged. By William Anderson. We consider this little work as one of a most valuable kind, and the most valuable of its kind. The young noviciate in commerce will find it an able help, and a powerful auxiliary, smoothing down his difficulties, and making his way plain; whilst the foreigners who enter our merchants' counting-houses, either as volunteers, giving their services as a compensation for being placed where they may gain an insight into our modes of business, or the remunerated clerk, a body which col. lectively amount to many thousands, would find this volume the most important help in all those embarrassments which their want of familiarity with the idioms of our language necessarily occasion. The present contains invoices, accountsales, and correspondence with Australia, which is a new feature. There ought not to be either clerk or counting-house without this little volume. Metropolitan. Floral Fancies and Morals from Flowers. Embellished with Seventy Illustrations by the Author. There is something pleasing to us in the fancifulness of these Fables. We like well to trace the operations of the mind starting from some given point, and wandering in fresh tracts of imagination, even though it be without chart or compass; but when these explorations have an end in view, unquestionably they receive an added value and importance. They who can look upon a flower, and see nothing beyond fair form and sweet coloring, possess no mental locomotive power; whilst being made emblematical of some correspondent vice or virtue: these morals are all apposite and happy, full of pure precept and honest purpose. In another light the work may be looked upon as conveying a good deal of botanical instruction in a very agreeable manner, displaying to us much of the economy of the vegetable kingdom. The notes appended to each fable supply us with much useful and pleasing information; and thus, both morally and intellectually, may we well be taught to look through Nature up to Nature's God.' We think that this tasteful little volume would form a very acceptable present to the young, and we offer the suggestion accordingly. We must add a few words on the illustrations, and pretty-though it strikes us that the poor which are numerous and fanciful in the extreme, flowers must have suffered some torture to have been made to assume such strange fantastic shapes. A grave old rose with a matronly face nursing a young baby of a rosebud, must needs make even a critic smile; but we are not disposed to consider a little amusing extravagance as a fault, in a work which on the whole has pleased us much.-Metropolitan. Memoirs of the Life of the Rev. John Williams, Missionary to Polynesia. By Ebenezer Prout, of Halstead. 8vo. Snow, Paternoster Row. This Memoir of the celebrated modern missionary is interesting as a mere record of the life of an energetic man passed in romantic and novel scenes, independently of any serious religious interest attached to it. The peculiar class of religionists to which Mr. Williams belonged are too apt to endeavor to strain human nature to a higher pitch in religious matters than it can maintain. Undoubtedly, a truly pious man makes religion the moving principle of all his actions; but it is also undoubtedly the fact, that no man, who has not become a fanatic or ascetic, is entirely free from that mental impetus that is a part of our nature, and which, when well regulated, is an incentive to many noble actions. The tone, therefore, of the book we cannot approve of, because, by making a system of religious impulses, it seems to generate a state that must occasionally be mere pretence. Leaving this consideration out of the question, we have been much delighted with the work. Mr. Williams was a very excellent man, with a great deal of talent and energy in his composition. | SELECT LIST OF RECENT PUBLICATIONS. He understood well the business in which he so praiseworthily engaged; and the adventures he encountered in the new and untrodden lands he visited, give almost an air of romance to his biography. The book needs no recommendation to ensure it purchasers, appealing as it does to a religious class, and to every one interested in new discoveries in Geography, or the still higher matter-the development of human character. France. Monthly Magazine. De l'Aristocratie Anglaise, de la Democratie Américaine et de la libéralité des Instituions Francaise: par Charles Farey. Second Edition. Paris. 1843, The author tells us, that this book has been much eulogized; that the first edition was soon exhausted; and that a noble British peer wrote a reply, controverting the author's claims for the superiority of French institutions over those of Great Britain; all which reasons combined, have led to the publi cation of the present edition. It is not our intention to come to the rescue of the noble lord, whoever he may be, for indeed we learn for the first time, and only through M. Farey's book, of the controversy to which the author alludes. We have no objection, not the least, that M. Farey should succeed in persuading his countrymen of the excellence of their institutions; nay, we should heartily lend him our assistance; but it must be on the condition that he will not misrepresent the state of English society. M. Farey thinks that the Feudal system still weighs heavily upon England, and that the middle classes are without political influence. His proofs are drawn from certain ceremonials, such for instance as that attending the coronation, upon which his reasoning is as just, as if he drew his notions of British laws from the judges' horsehair wigs. He denies in fact, the whole spirit of modern improvement, because a resemblance still exists to what is past; the boy has not become a man, because the boy still speaks with a human tongue, and sees through human eyes. He, in fact, makes the mistake which most Frenchmen do, who think that no political good can be effected, except through violent revolution; and he expects the coming of the crisis, which is to put an end to Feudality in England.

"Those who would feel surprised to see free England in the 19th century thus adhere to feudal customs, will be still more surprised when they learn, that the Queen's ministers, called to Wind sor at the Queen's accouchment, put on the uniform (in good French, the livery,) of Windsor palace, and that gentlemen, possessors of a million of revenue, felt honored at being allowed to carry prince of the royal blood; as in France, valets have upon their buttons the first letter of their upon their coat-buttons the initial letters of a master's name.'
