ANOTIIEI IMPROVEMENT IN TIIE DACl7Ehltho-
Tyr ic Ala has just been made public by Mr. Iteanl, the
gentleman who first introduced to this country the curious
discovery of the ingenious Frenchman, lMguerrc. Enna
the day when the process was lint practised in Englund it
has been the subject of innumerable experiments, and
many improvements, upon the original crude plans. The
pictures ut first could only be obtained of a email siec, and
all the faces had an opaque ghadly look. Thew: draw-
backs were both gradually removed, and larger and ples-
santer, and, at length, coloured, portraits were obtainable.
The action of time, however, was found to be injurious to
the pictures, and even when carefully glazed the air found its
way under the glass, gradually oxydired the silvered surface
of the plate, and thus injured, if it did not destroy the aspect
of the work. A Mons. Mansion has now found, and Mr.
Beard has perfected, a plan for coating the surface of the
daguerreotype with a kind of transparent enamel, which
effectually excludes the air, renders a glass unnecessary,
and permits, rnorever' the application of colour more effec-
tually than by any mode previously attempted. We may,
indeed, now regard these sun-pictures as capable of the
high and elaborate finish of miniatures in oil, whilst they
enjoy the indestructible adjuncts of a metal plate with •
vitreous facing—the likeness safely lodged between the two,
undimmed and undamageable by time.
VESSEL BURNT AT SEA.—On the night of the ;Stith
ult., the crew of the True Blue, fishing smack, of Ramsgate,
while off the Spurnhead, observed a strong light in the
E.N.E. quarter. They immediately hauled up their outs,
and standing towards the burning Chip, were hailed by a
boat containing the master and seven seamen belonging to
the vessel, whom they took on board. They then bore up
for the wreck, which was off Flamberough-head, bearing
W.N.W. about 2:1 miles, and remained alongside until 7
a.m. the fallowing day, when it went down stern foremost.
The vessel was the Anna Maria, of Exeter, a brig ;of 300
tons burtlen, bound in ballast to the North for a cargo of
coals, and the fire is supposed to have been occasioned by
some cinders falling out of the fire-place in the cabins
through the heavy rolling of the vessel, while the men wren
engaged in reefing the topsail.
