PHOTOGRAPHY.

A correspondent of the Times, in a letter dated
Paris, Sept. 28, says :
"In no department of the Exhibition is there
more activity of mind displayed than in that which
is allotted to photographs. No recent discovery ex-
cites more curiosity and interest, nor calls into play
more ingenuity and science and taste, than this of
printing by the aid of light. The art, in all its
various processes, has become of immense import-
ance, admits of innumerable applications, and gives
employment to a host of people, many of them
highly endowed. Far more than the discovery of
the telescope, of the microscope, or of a perfect
balance, it has made a new era in science ; and in
the fine arts, also, it has exercised a prodigious in-
fluence. It is stated on authority that Sir Henry
James has already saved the British Exchequer at
least £40,000 by the use of photo-zincography in
the production of the maps of the Ordnance survey ;
and the copies of Doomsday Book now at Paris,
printed by photo-zineography, speak for the value
and beauty of the process. Photography is useful
in so many ways—in astronomy, in ethnology, in
anatomy, in botany, in architecture, in land survey-
ing, in engraving on wood and steel and copper, not
to speak of ordinary portraiture, that no modern art
can be said more truly to live than this ; and few of
us who visit the French Exhibition can form an ade-
quate idea of the vast amount of scientific research
and mechanical industry which are represented by
the hundreds of photographic pictures and appa-
ratus that meet our view. An index of patents
relating to photography alone tells us that down to
the end of the year 1859 upwards of 190 separate
patents had been granted in England ; and since
that period the number has been enormously in-
creased. This, however, gives a very insufficient
idea of the energy with which the wonderful art is
pursued ; for, in point of fact, the most important
discoveries in photography have not been protected
by the patent laws. Thus, the collodion process—a
process by which nine-tenths of all the photographs
in all countries are now produced—was made known

freely to the public by its originator. So likewise the
essential principles of all the various carbon pro-
cesses of printing were announced by their dis-
coverers without any attempt to secure their rights
by patent. So long ago as December, 1827, M. Nie-
pee, then living at Kew, submitted to the Royal
Society some pictures taken on silvered copper plates
smeared with the bitumen of Judea, a substance
which is soluble in certain essential oils, but not so
after exposure to light. Specimens of his skill are
in existenoe as perfect in appearance as on the day
on which they were produced. There is the begin-
ning of the carbon process. On the 29th of May,
1839, Mr. Mungo Ponton made a communication
to the Royal Scottish Society of Arts, to the effect
that bicromate of potash applied to paper in solu-

tion accepted a photographic image which could not
be removed by water, the portions protected from
the light being readily washed away. There is a step
in advance. In January of the last mentioned year
M. Daguerre in France, and Mr. Fox Talbot in
England, had each made public their independent
discoveries of the daguerreotype and the talbotype."

presented a very woe-begone aspect. The Hiogo
was fitted with an expensive pair of first-class engines
of 100 horse-power, by Kerr, of Kirkcaldy ; and
the loss of the vessel and cargo is estimated to involve
the destruction of property of the value of little less
than £lOO,OOO.

A VISIT TO THE AGAPEMONE.

(From Macmillan's Magazine.)

We drove from Bridgewater through five miles of
deeply-sunken lanes to Charlinch, and when we got
to the brow of the last hill we had a bird's-eye view
of the Agapemone. It was sus:rounded on every
side by walls from twelve to fifteen feet high, which
enclosed about five acres. Within stood a building
somewhat resembling a college chapel, and two
clusters of cottages. Over the gateway was a tower
with a flag-staff, which bears Brother Prince's em-
blem when lie is at home. As he was absent there
was no flag hoisted. It occupies one of the loveliest
spots in the south of England, where Coleridge de-
lighted to wander when he was living in the village
of Stower, close by. On the one hand you looked
down a narrow valley, over the trees and the wheat
fields, fai away into the British Channel, and over
that you could see the hazy outline of 1V ales. On
the other hand rose the Quantock Hills, black fir-
woods here, purple with heather there, or golden '
with gorse, and furrowed by deep-wooded coombes;
while far away to the east was the field of Sedge-
' moor, the high tower of Western Zoyland, and
over that again Glastonbury Mount, twenty miles
away, and St. Michael's Tower, on which the last
abbot was hung. This was the situation they had
chosen for their Abode of Love. We drove up to
the oaken doors, which are folding, with a little one
for foot-passengers, just like those at Oxford. We
presented our letter of introduction ; in a few
minutes a guide was sent out, and we were admitted
within the walls. We found ourselves in a. most
beautiful flower-garden, with two groups of cottages
and the chapel lying in it. The greensward was
most exquisitely kept, and the flowers were rare and
costly. The roses were trained over the cottages,
and covered not only the wall, but the very roof,
up to the tops of the chimneys, with their blossoms.
Everything was most carefully tended ; there was
not a single spray of verbena without its peg,
not a single dead or unhealthy leaf to be seen,
nor a single weed on the gravel walks. We
were next taken into the hot-houses, where the
flowers, and especially the orchids, were remark-
ably fine, and of the newest and best varieties. Of
these our guide allowed the ladies to take whatthey
liked. We then went into the large conservatory,
which was full of exotic shrubs and flowers, arranged
according to their tints, so that there was a perfect
harmony of colours. Cages of singing birds hung
from orange trees; underneath them were couches,
and an open piano showed that music was sometimes
added to the other charms of sense.

We were then conducted into their chapel. It
was a building about 70 feet long, by 30 wide, lying
east and west, just as our churches do. The western
half was raised about a foot above the level of the
other, and evidently, from its rich decoration, cor-
responded with our chancel. It was, however,
altogether devoid of religious furniture, according
to our ideas. It was covered with a rich blue Turkey
carpet, on which were blue velvet arm-chairs,
couches, and settees, such as one might expect to
find in a drawing-room ; while mirrors in three
niches occupied the whole of the west end, and
reflected the beauties of the marble statue and two
vases that stood before them. In front, and occu-
pying very much the position of the altar, was a
large billiard table, made out of the wreck of the
Royal George. In the lower and eastern half, fur-
nished less sumptuously, and therefore intended
probably for au inferior order, were the musical in-
struments—an elaborately carved harp, a grand
piano with the most costly inlaid work, and an
euterpeau. The latter is an instrument made on the
same plan as a musical box, but it stands from eight
to nine feet high, is about five feet wide, and has
the effect of a full orchestra. It was one of three
in the Great Exhibition of 1851. On our guide
asking us what music we should like to hear, we
chose " Guillaume 'fell." lie inserted a cylinder,
touched a spring, and the overture was played to
perfection. The place where the flageolet begins,
and the other instruments gradually join in, was
most admirably rendered. We then chose a march
in " Gustav," the cylind x was changed, and that
also was played. It was impossible to guess at the
capacity of the instrument, but the number of
cylinders must be very great, because we chose the
two pieces haphazard, and rather from a wish to test
it than from any other motive. The impression
left upon our minds by the interior of the chapel
was that music entered very largely into their cere-
monial ; and this is confirmed by the fact of one of
the Prineite farmers, who did not live in the
Agapemone, riding thither every Sunday with a
large brass instrument slung round his back. Pos-
sibly also billiards may have some religious signifi-
cance among them. The only books we observed
were a Bible, Dr. Kitto's " Biblical Dictionary,"
and Wordsworth's " Pictorial Greece." The win-
dows were filled with stained glass. The building
clearly was intended for a highly sensuous worship.
The female inmates are guarded with the utmost
jealousy, and allowed to have no communication
whatever with the outer world. "Whenever they
went out they were attended by an escort of male
disciples, and were under as careful a surveillance
as the inmates of a gaol or lunatic asylum. Quarrels
also took place about the women, and about money.
One of the apostate brethren brought an action
against Brother Prince for the recovery of his pro-
perty, which was decided in his favour. One also
of Prince's sisters-in-law died in the Agapemone,
and her family compelled Brother Prince to disgorge
her money. By these losses the Princites were
shorn of a great part of their splendour, and from
that time down to the present have been gradually
becoming poorer and fewer in numbers. The
Gentile world also has been strictly excluded from
their precincts.

MARKETS.---ilas day.

3IETROPOLITAN CATTLE.

There was about an average supply of beasts on sale
here to-day. For all breeds the demand ruled inactive ;
nevertheless, compared with Monday, no change took place
in the quotations. The highest figure was 5s per 81bs.
Sheep, the show of which was only moderate, changed
hands slowly, at Monday's decline in value. The bast
Downs and half-breds sold at 4s 10d per Blbs. The few
calves on offer were mostly disposed of at high rates, viz ,
from 4s 6d to 5s 6d per 81bs. The sale for pigs ruled steady,
at full prices. Mitch cows, however, commanded very little
attention.
