      THE ART 12 AN , No . IX . London , Simpkin , Marshall , & Co . This " Monthly Journal of the Operative Aite" is an extremely well conducted periodical , and well fitted apparent ! j to carry eut the viewB of the oontr ibmors , viz ^ thai of elevating intellectually and morally the strength and sinews of Old England , — her toiling , .- -Bkilfol , and matchless anizans . We gpeak thus generally ; for we mnst say , lhat ir Bome of the views put forth , and sentiments " expressed , there is a sort offoremanixm exhibited , not at all to trar t 2 ste ; forws rietesuhe pride thai apes aristocracy ; and that spirit is , we are £ orry to say , to be found amongst not a few of tbo operative classes . But a trace to censure . 'Tis not oar forte . We wonld

      much rather praise than blame ; and m all sincerity here 1 b ample room for the mosi pleasant of criticism , that of awarding approbation where approval is so jastly merited . This number is crannied with information of the most valnable Jncd , to all engaged in the mechanical , chemical , and fine arts . A mere enumeration of the varied contents of the nnmbcr would be of no service to our readers . They will best know , and knowing , appreciate its contents , by purchasing the msgasine for themselves , which we may remark isBoid for one shiliiatn a price Jow enough , in all consciene , for the E 25 s of beautifully- printed master it contains , and the il ' njtraiions by which it 13 enriched . The first article headed the ** Artizin ' slnstitutei " will ba read with much inleresj . It treats of the

      formation andprogres 3 of a society , established some time before the close of list year , for the purpose of affording to its rccrabers , xnmual and practical information on the subjects of their respective trades or professions ; and lor the purpose c-f fading employment for Us uncmpl-ycd members in fore gn countries , ** every channel to employment in this country being already filled np" ! The trades eligible to be admitted into the Institute are arranged under the three ' grea : heads of the mechanical arts , the chemical art ? , and the fine arts The subscription to the institute is one shilling a month ; but this subscription is retnrned monthly to every subscriber , in the form of printed minntes of the proceedings , and other works of utility ; so thai

      in reality there is no subscription , only a trifling monthly purchase . Of coarse ihe society has some = ourees of revenue beyond the above . One of these ib , that every person promoted to a situation by the Instituted instrumentality , shall assign to the Institute the wages of that situation for a certain time . The period of this assignment varies with the value of the situation % ** in the case of a workman , a weeks' wages is the most that is required jbut in the case of foremen oi superintendents , situations of value , a months' wages may be demanded . " We nust refer our readers to the article itself for farther information . Thi 3 institution la one oi the " signs of the times . " It tells of the determined struggles of labour to gain its rightful position by the foree of

      united mind ; and thus far it is a sign heart-cheering to tbose who belitve with ns in the progression of the ham » n race , and the future ** perfecability" of man . It tells also of the false system of political Government , and social arrangements at present exisiing which has _ closed np every channel to employment , and driven the wise of head and canniog of hand to associate together to procure emviloyment in foreign lands I And this is a sign that saddens ns . It tells of the transfer of Eagland ' s greatneBs to other than our own native dime , threatening ihe banks of the Thames with the fate of those of ths Euphrates and

      th 9 Tiber ? for ** like cause * will produce like cfieeis . " It tells us also that the class of operatives represented in such societies aB die Institute , have yet mnch to learn . They have yet to know that true patriotism diotates that they ahonld unite to improve their own country , and re-open the channels to employment in their own -fatherland , rather than fly from ir , thinking only of their own iadvancernent and personal interest . - r Rom sb article , entitled ** Steam Coaches on Common Heads , " we take the following opening remarks , with every &eniimjBB-t of ¦ which we most heartily agree : —

      " TVehave adverted , on several occasions , to tie evil irfiaeeces « xirted by railways in this country ¦ under their present administration ; and expressed at the same time , oar fervent hope that some antidote would be feBsd againrt the perprtBalion © I foci iDJarieB . We

      remain as firmly as ever of opinion that the whole railways of the country should be taken into the hands cf the State ; though we should be unwilling to te- that measure adopted , unless accompanied by the imposition of such cfcecks to venality as would prevent the railway manatement from degenerating into a manufactory of jobs and places . But pending this consummation , we would direct the attention of oai readers to a different instrument of locomotion , which appears capable of counteracting , to a great extent , the tyrannies of the railway system . The appliance to which we allude , is the use of steam-power on the common roads—an expedient attempted to be carried into practice many years ago , but which failed to real : z 9 at that time a

      successful result , owing to the combined opposition of the furious railway mania , then epdemic , and the imperfections attaching to the various steam-carriages then brought forward . The present juncture , however , promises greater success , as public feeling , as well as public opinion , is now beginning to run stedfastly against the railway system ' : in addition to which , we believe we shall be able to give a design for a common road steam coach , which , by its freedom from the vices attendant upon the plans brought forward heretofore , at once removes all difficulty to be apprehended on that Ecors . In Ehurt , we are of opinion that the time cas arrived when steam coaches on common roads may be employed with success ; and we are anxious to be the herald of that blissful consummation .

      " Before , however , we advert to the particular kind of steam c ? ach we would recommend , we beg to draw attention for a moment to the injuries the railways are inflicting . The tyranny exercised in the transport of the poorer class of passengers , after having first wrought the ruin of all other means of -conveyance , we have animadverted upoD on other occasions ; but we have not yet mentioned the grievous loss and injury inflicted upon the busabler c ' ass of towns in every piri of the kingdom , by depriving them of the tnfflc which constituted their wealth , and leaving them in loneliness and desolation . Formerly , thousands of coaches intersected the kingdom in every direction , scattering wealth and

      animation in their train . But now the road , with its fragrant hedge-iows and picturesque cottages , is deserted —the inn , where the coach stopped , shut up—the livelihood of thousands disarranged , and fond associations broken for ever . We do : ot say , be it observed , that if the balance were struck between the benefits and ic juries of the railway mo&e of conveyance , the benefits would not preponderate , —though neither would we assert that they did . But our neutrality would only be afforded on tbe supposition that railways were managed for the public advantage : and when we come to take railways as they * re , we do say , that , in this country , they have been an injury instead of a benelt . "

      The writer then states the obstacles which h&ve heretofore opposed the sneeess of steam carriages on common roads ; shews how those obstable 3 may be surmounted , and conclndes by describing the sort of carriage which ( according to the writer ) will be found to answer , and triumph over all hitherto insurmountable obstacles . A plate is given shewing the form of the coach and nature of its working machinery . The article headed " The water supply of London" one of the most intersting and pleasing in the number . To all Londoners it must be a subject of surpassing interest . If ever mankind coma to their senses , they will look back with astonishment upon the follies of a race that could expend millions

      of money in gaudily decorating the fronts of shrines of profit-mongers ; building a * thieves temple "—called a "Royal btock Exchange ; " ereeting such outrages upon true tas ; e as the Nelson Column , and each disgusting mementos of a nation ' s love of murder , aB the [ intended ] monumentB to the "hero of Wakrlao "; at the same time daily consuming a filthy decoction of putrid matter in the shape of , or rather miscalled , water , to the serious detriment of tbe health . -, and disgust of the palates , of two millions of human beings ; and wonder that the money to uselessly and viciously expended was not employed in proenring the wholesome springs of water flowing beneath their very feet . The foliy of the Pyramids is only repeated in anoiher Bhape . We give the conclusion of this interesting ariiole : —

      " Geological science and practical experience prove that the greater part of the rain which falls on the surface of sandy or chalky soils is absorbed , and that it descends until it meets with an impervious stratum of clay or rock , to stop its further descent " In an article on Artesian Wells , in the August Number vf tbe Artisan , we explained the manner in which the subterranean reservoirs are raised above the levels of tbe valleys , and force out the -water when bored into ; but we believe the instances are very rare , in this country at least , of Artesian Wells being successfully bored into the stratum of chalk . This may be accounted for by the thickness of the chalk formation ; for tbe lower part , which rests on impervious blue cliy , lies so deep , that the immense basin of chalk is sufficient to hold all the water , without forcing it t « rise above the level of the other strata . There can be little question , however , that the greater Bart of the rain which fills on the extended

      area where tbe chalk rises to the surface for many miles , is collected beneath in immense quantities , and is saturating the chalk under pressure . To give some notion of tbe quantity of water to be collected by drainage , we may state , that assuming the depth of rain that falLi annually to be the low average of 24 inches , each acre would yield 500 , 000 gallons ; and the drainage of the county ef Hertford alone would afford to snpply tbe demands of twice the whole population of Great Britain ; we may , therefore , safely conclude that the chalk formation under Lond « n , which receives the drainage sf many extensive counties , la capable of iapplying far greater quantities of water than can be required for tbe use of its Inhabitants .

      " The depth to which it would be necessary to penetrate in order to procure a never-failing supply may be ascertained with tolerable accuracy , from the resnlts of experitnee . The c ± alk i » reached at a depth of 280 tec . below Ui 3 level el the river ; but to insure aD tbundaet supply , it would be accessary to sink 100 feet into the chalk , and to drive adits to som ? distance , in various directions , to collect the water . A well was » unk for a brewery at Chelsea , to a depth of 394 feet , in which the water rose to a height of 200 feet from the bottom ; from which it might be assumed that tbe standing reservoir in the chalk had been reached , and that the water was under prvssure . At Mortleke , in Surrey , an Artesian well was bored 375 feet , 80 feet of which was also through cbslk , when the boring too ] fell irito a mass of soft calcareous earth , and tbe water thtn rose gradually to the surface . Now , if tbe

      standing levd of tLe water , in tbe chalk formation , be reached at tboae depths under London , there can be no question about tbe supply , and one large well would be sufficient . The next consideration would be , tbe means of rasing the requisite quantities of water from the wells . Twenty millions of gallons per diem , for the snpply of half tha consumption of London , is four times tht quantity of water raised from any one of tee minea In Cornwall by their large pumping engints ; but the depth ot the Id'Ur fs ? o much greater duty , that the aiuoui . t of ti ; glne du ' y would not exceed that ef the Consolidated Klines . One cf the eleven pumps attached t <> the Mamnoth engine now censtructing in Cornwall , for the furpese of draining the lake of Haarlem , would deliver twice the qnantity of water required to be lifted ; therefore the amount of engine power to lift twenty millions of gallons from a depth of 300 feet , need not be » eerious obstacle to such a plan .

      " Tbe importunes of the object to be attained should never be lost sight of ,- and when it is considered that tbe en ' f rprising capitalists of New York Huuse expended £ 2 500 000 in diatributiEc a snpply of pure , drinkable water throo ^ b that city , frjm a distance of thirty-eight miles , tbe inbabitanls ef London ought net to rest satisfied with the mudiJy , and almost loathsome , liquid ¦ with -which they are at present furnished by the water companies , whilst an exhaustleas reservoir of thv ; pnrest water lies under their feet .

      THE HULL LITERARY AND PHILOSOPHICAL MISCELLANY . Dibb and d . Hull . We have here a new monthly candidate for public patronage ; the first number of which ( for October ) is now before as . A very curaory glance at its contents enables ns to speak welljof it , though in future numbers , improvements , whioh the judgment of its conductors will dictate , may with advantage be introduced . Fkobj a clever wristen ariiole on " Meteorology" we give the following extract : — " Whilst a mean uniformity of distance , and of general icfiuence , ( I use the term with reference to a known and demonstrated power , ) has been maintained in the planetary system from the day of creation , the investigation of geologists have shown that this earth

      has undergons mutations of temperature and humidity so extensive as no longer to be adapted to the exigencies of the same organic nature . Entire genera and species have been swept away ; fresh and perfectly distinct fcuccessiona of animated nature have been from time to time created , and in their turn have been destroyed by the varying and important conditions of the earth and its atmssphere : even the elementary constitution of the atmosphere itself bus been apparently reconstructed Daring tbe deposition of part of the secondary formation of the earth ' s sutface , it was inhabited by various species of the Saurian or L ' aird trile ; from an anatomical and physiological investigation into their structure these reptiles differ essentially from birdB , and the

      msmmalia , in the less active performance of the respiratory function , and in a lower and simpler structure of the lungs and heart , whereby they become less dependent on the oxygen of the atmosphere for existence . From this and the subsequent extinction of a vast portion of tho reptilian class , the physiologist is led to conjecture that the atmosphere had not then undergone those changes which a subsequent consolidation and concentration of certain of its elements may have occasioned . And again , from considerations of the peculiar features of the extinct Flora recurring in the same formation , the botanist has been led to suspect that the atmosphere of this globe formerly contained more carbon , and less oxygen , than at pre *

      sent ; yet amidst these important and vital changes , affecting not merely tbe well being , but the very existence of plant * and animals , lunar and planetary motions have been going on in one continuous cycle , tbe mean distances preserved unaltered , and their conjunctions , oppositions , and other aspects occurring periodically as at present , and we may be asaused that whatever future modifications of the atmesphere may be in reserve , whether arising from astronomical , geological , or magnetic causes , that Ike same planetary and lunar configurations will be continued , iueffective , however , either to promote or retaid the great transition t and that when perverted to tbe purposes of meterological , or judicial predictions , their only effect is to astonish the ignorant , and mislead the credulous . "

      Here is a specimen of tbe poetry from some Hues on "Tbe Humber Wolds : "" Sweet hills of beauty ! from your towering brows What lovely . landscapes burst upon the sight In rich variety ! Afar I afar I Our vision stretches o'er a mingled mass Of kill , dale , water , meadow , corn field , wood , In brightness blending . —At your base lie Plains rich in rural elegance , and fraught With sylvan loveliness . Fair villages , Cots , hamlets , farms in sweet * confusion gleam ;

      Here Welton hides beneath her sylvan shades , And rural Elloughton 'mid towering trees , And Brantingbam with its romantic dale , — From your first rising nigh tbe Bomber ' s shore , Where Hessle lifts her village spire on high , To where , with boldsr eminence , ye turn At Cave , laid hidden in its hollow dell , And swe-p away in undulating line Far to the north , what beauties ye enclose Betwixt your summits and the water ' B marge 1 A poet's world I ? ?

      "Is there a portion of tbe British Isles Where nature in more rich profusion casts The choicest of her treasures f Where she crowds All her mild beauties in so small a space ? It seems a spot where she has deigned to bind Her fairest wreath of sight-delighting flowers ; Her richest temple , where she would display Tbe winning softness of her gentle Smile , And chain all hearts in admiration ' s bonds . " Sweet hills of beauty . ' be it oft my lot

      To wander o'er ye , when tbe light of morn With yellow lustre gilds your loveliness ; When noon-tide radiance pours its silver tide Of keen refulgence , making all things seem . Tbe brighter visions of a fury world ;—But chief when eve with her unnumbered tints , Her rainbow dyes , her aky-descended hues , Paints every landscape , and brings out to view Sweet lights and shades inimitably soft , Supremely delicate , intensely fair .

      Carlisle—Impohtakt and Dangsrous Legal Decision . —A few daj'B ago , a case of saunctmmon and singular character was brought before the sitting magistrates , John Bixon and John Fawcett , Esquires , at the Town Hall , Carlisle , which excited great interest , inasmuch as it involved & point of law of the greatest importance to tradesmen in particular , and the pabiio generally . James Bell , of the Wellington Inn , Carlisle , auctioneer , was charged with having , on Saturday evening , October 7 tb , feloniously taken away , from tbe shop of Mr . Henry Cohen , groeer , a cheese and BUjiar loaf , value £ 1 11 s . 3 d ., his property . Mr . John Saul , solicitor , conducted the prosecmion ; and Mr . Sib ^ on , solicitor , defended tbe prisoner . Mr . Cohen was about to be

      examined by Mr . Saul , when Mr . Sibson rose and icquired if the witness was a Jew ? Witness—Y « s , but I believe intbe New Testament and our Saviour . The witness then deposed as follows : —Tda prisoner , « iame 3 Bell , came to my shop between nine and ten o ' clock on Saturday night last . I was at the Spread Eagle Inn at the time , when my shop-boy came for me . The prisoner asked me if I had any good cheese ; I said I had , and triei two for him , when he asktd tho price . I told him 6 d * per lb . Ho faid I might take a halfpenny less for cash ; I told him I wouid not , and be agreed to take one at the price . My boy weighed the cheese in question , which was 2511 bs ., and came to 12 s . 9 J . Ho then asked me if I had any nice loaf sugar ! I said I had , and inquired if he liked dark or fine . He said he didj'nofc like it too fine or too dark . I then shewed him a p&mple , and be agreed to take one at 9 £ d . per lb ., which camo to 19 a . He thtn told me to make out a

      bill for the amount , and I told my boy . to do 60 , which be did in James Bell ' s same . Ihe prisoner thea put his band into bis pocket , and jingled some silver , as if he were going to pay me ; and I was about receipting tbe bill , and had wrote " October " upon it , when some one came into tbe shop , and I loo ked op to tee who it was , when the prisonsr took the goods off ; ihe counter , along with the bill , and laying down a piece of paper , said' Here ib p&jrfor tfcem . " ( fhe paper was here put m , and was to the following effect : — "I , W- Sibson , do authorize Mr . James Bell , of the Welling , ton Inn , to buy goods forme , not exceeding ten pounds . To Mr . Cohen . " ) The prisoner then ran out of my shop with the goods . 1 followed him , and gave him in charge to a watchman . The prisoner never bought anything at my Bhop before ; nor did he ever mention Mr . Sibeon ' s name , but E&id when he laid , down the paper , — " Here's

      pay for the goods . " It appeared from a tedious and irrelevant cross-examination of the witness ou tho part of Mr . Si bson—that the witness owed a Mr . Sibson , draper , tho sum of tea ¦ pounds , and he being apprehensive , that the witness was about to matte an assi gnment , he weut to witneso ' a shop , and wished to bavo goods to the amount of his account ; but this tbe witness refused to do , fiayiug he would payhtm in cash . Mr . Sibson , however , not being saweaed , prevailed upon the prisoner to go to Cohen e shop , and endeavour to get some goods for him , which he did in the manner related in the evidence—believing , no doubt , he wa 3 acting a proper part , having had the advioe of a solicitor of some eminence . It also appeared * aai other parties

      , had got , and attempted to get , goods from Mr . Cohen ma Bimilar way . Mr . Siul argued the case at great length , and showed , that as the prisoner Bell had obtained the goods in a fraudulent and deceptive manner , by never having mentioned Mr . Sibson s name at all , and by taking the goods out of Mr . Cohen ' s shop without his consent , he had beon _ guilty of a felony to all intents and purposes . Mr . Saul quoted several cases in support of his arflumont . : Mr , Sibson , on behalf of tho prisoner , contended there could be rio fulooious intention on the part of his client , as he had acted on authority , and had also given up the property be obtained from

      Mr . Cohen to Mr . Sibson , who had given Cohen credit for it . Tfre magistrates consulted together for a short time , after which Mr . Dixon , addressing the prisoner , spoke as follows : — " We do not think there is sufficient evidence to sustain a case of felony , so that We dismiss the charge—at the same time , we must observe , that you have acted with great imprudence ; and , if the evidence we have heard be strictly correct , there has clearly been a felonious intention made out ; but , taking ; all the circumstances into consideration , we discharge you with a caution , that you never again act in a similar manner . "

      Murder . —A young woman , named Elizibeth Hetherington * has been committed to prison , charged with the wilful murder of her new born child . She was servant at the London Tavern , English-street . The child was found in an ash pit . No doubt waa entertained by the Coroner and Jury of the guilt of the wretcHed woman .

      Condition of the Labourer 1 ! in Wales . —It had been supposed that the peasantry of Ireland vtefe the most miserable in the world ; but facts have come to light in Wales to show too plainly that here too misery holds its court in the labourer ' s cabin . The reporter of the Tjmes being on bis way to Newcastlfi-in-Emlyn , says , * fc I entered several farm labourers' cottages by ; the road side , ent of curiosity to see the actual condition of the people , end found them iu mud hovels , the floors of mud and full of holes , without cbairs or tables , generally half filled with peat packed up in every comer , the only articles qf furniture being a wretched sort of bedstead and a kettle . Beds there were cone ; nothing but loose straw ar . d filthy ruga upon them . Peat fires on the fhors in a corner , filling the cottages with smoke , and three or four children huddled around them .

      Nearly all the cottages were the same . In the most miserable parts of St . Giles ' s , in no parts of England did I ever { witness suoh abject poverty . Yet , according to some opinions , this state of misery ought to be one of happiness and content . Were it so the people would deserve their fate . Content to live like swine they would be fitly treated as such . But the people , to their honour bo it said , are not content -with this . Having the attributes of humanity they aspire to live hke human beings ; and hence their discontent with thejr present hard condition . " What has civil Zition done for these wretohed inhabitants !!

      The New Mimtaiiy Cap . —We have heard the most contradictory descriptions of the New Military Regulation Cap , for which the British Infantry , we understand , is indebted to the inventive genius ot Field-Marshal , Prince Albert . One' of our informants—for we have not had the good fortune to see the phenomenon ourselves—assures as that it bears the closest possible resemblance to a flower-pot turned upside down in a saucer ; another tells us that it ib not uuliketbe extinguisher of a be > d-candle-Btick ; while a third is decidedly of opinion that it looks just like the church-spire in Langhsm-plaoe . All parties , however , agree in thinking that the illustrious inveutor must have had in bis eye the cap worn by Mr . Wallack in tbe Brigand , just at

      the moment when be is making a forcible entrance at midnight through' the wash-house window of a respectable Italian gentleman ' s country villa , and throwing the spuilioa into fits of mingled laughter and fear at the grotesque horrors oY his castor . We trust that this incomparable tile will be soon iu goueral adoption among our infantry ; and that the Duke of Wellington , in compliment to Prince Albert , will make a point of < wearing it at the next revitw of tho Foot Guards ] in Hyde Park . Imagination cannot conceive a more picturesque and prepossessing figure than bis Grace would out in suoh a castor ; tiiose who mayj happen to remember the headdress worn by Mother Goose in the pantomime , can alone have any adequate notion of it- As several

      bodies of infantry are just now preparing to set out for Ireland , we do most , earnestly hope that they will be supplied with an Albert cap ; ibr conceive the inextinguishable laughter that they would occasion among all ranks and classes of Repeal Agitators ! AH fears of collision would be at once put aa c : i < i to ; for what body of Irishmen could serioasly think of charging suoh a pack of S ^ xon scare-crowr , looking as if each man among them had just eloped iu a hurry from a corn-field 1 Tbe very appearance of such comical warriors would be enough to set Pat ' s sides aching wih laughter ; in the huge ex Lacy of the moment he would forget all his wrongs ; and ten to one , the Repeal agitation would dio away iu a horse-laugh I—The Sun .

      TijB Irish Spy Ststem . —There is a branch of the polica fores called the " Detective Force" —the men belonging to . wkioh do not appear in uniform , but go about in all sorts of disguises—as Jews , sailors , countrymen , and . so forth . Tho peculiar avocation of these " detective force men" is to ferret oat ; crime ; and aa they are rewarded and thought meo ! i of by ( toe cowmisfiouera hi proportion to the extent and number of offenc < s thiy bring to light , it repeatedly happens that when offences against tbo law do not ooour numerously and quickly enough to give full employment to the "j detectives" they have recourse to the abominable expedient of tempting their victims to perpetuate offences . For example a "detective "

      disguised as a * sailor , will offer some contraband tobacco for Bile , and ! having seduced his victim into making ajurcbase , jounces upon him with an information , and thus profits by his treachery . A case occurred si few . day a Jago , where one of * ( bos " detec tires" sent ; hts oval wifo into an improper house where spirituous liquors it is said were sold . She induced the inmates to dispose of some , and was then brought forward by her amiable husband to prove bis charge .

      elements of truer progress ; for it may well be that Repeal shall pass away and be known no mere but as a thing that has been , or tbat it may be accomplished and Ireland yet be unregenerated ; but the spirit of Chartism is a creature of hardier growth . Born in trouble , nursed lo contention , fed by the conflict and dieBsnBion of opinions , it has henceforth a necessary existtDce , aud its cry cannot be st fUd . Its nature Is such that it -will secure tbe progress of tbe people , even if destined to be continually defeated ; for its existence is at once tfee result and the stimulus of intellectual activity , and each successive struggle will necessarily involve the development of new , and the reiteration of old , truths—of truths which cannot die , but must fructify to the end of time .
