THE NEw ARr.-We saw, the other day, in Chill
tons, in Broadway, very curious specimen Of the
mode, recently Invented by Daguerre in Paris,
Of taking copper the exact resembances Of scenes
and living Objects through the medium Of the suH's
ray reflected in a camera obscura. The scene en-.
braces a part Of ST. Pauls church, and the sur
rounding shrubbery and houses, with a corner " the
As or House, and, for aught we know, Stetsoa look
ing out Of window, telling joke about Davie Crock
EFT. All this is represented small piece Of cop
per equal in size TO a miniature painting.
1t seems that for annuity Of $1,000 year, paid
bv the French Government, the inventor. in Paris
agreed to make public the process Of taking such
miniature pictures. Mr.. segur, Of this city, on
this criptisn set TO work his powers and about
three days ago, succeeded in making the experiment
The process is follows First, take small sheet
Of copper . late copper, Of the dimensions Of the
picture TO be let the surface Of
this sheet be silvered and diluted with nitric
acid-Third let the sheet thus silvered be exposed
to the vapor of iodine for short time-Fourth,
place the sheet thus prepared in a camera obscsra
for eight ten minutes, directed to the objects 20
be represented, in the clear sun light-in Europe
longer exposure 10 required, because an American
sun shines brighter than the European-Fihh, re-
move the sheet at the expiration o eight ten mi
nutcs and expose the surface 10 the vapor Of
heated to l67 degrees, which brings out the original
colors communicated from the objects to the Sheet
through the agency Of the rays Of lght-sixth, and
lastly, throw the surface of the sheet slight
covering Of hyposulphte Of soda, to give the pic
ture a durability, and then wash II In dstied wa.

The specimen at Gibbons is a most remarkable
gem in its way. II looks like fairy work. and changes
its colors like camclion, according to the hue Of

The AFRICAN SLAVE TRADE.--SssgRE OF Aso-
TIER AMERICAS vEsnL.-By the Fabius, at Provi-

the United States agent at that place. had seized the
schooner Euphrates Of Philadelphia, on suspicion
of her being shaver. She would be sent home, and
was to have sailed from there the 10Th of last
month. This is rght-it is much better for our own
agents to seize Americas slavers than leave the bu
