lappointment OF competent inspectors Of

character, is universally regarded as of great
benefit to the public, aud hence the demand
invariably made and urged by the farmers
of the country for the appointment o! IN
spectors Of such articles as have come into
general use among them The object of
these inspections, as all know is to protect
the purchaser against imposition--and when
an Inspector has been appointed for any
particular article, the purchaser rests salts
fed that the inspectors brand is sufficient to
! guarantee its genuineness, Sometime since
for the purpose of protecting our people
against a spurious article, one Dr. Powell
OF neighboring county, "a man, for aught
we know to the contrary, fully capable of
performing the duties of the Office satisiac.

! Until now, no complaint has reached us of
neglect of duty OH the part of this officer,
and even now would have nothing to say
but for the authoritative form in which CON-
plants of the delinquency in this officer have
come 10 our knowledge, and our duty under
the circumstances in justice both to the in.
spector and the public, to inquire how and
why it is that things are as they are repre-.
sented to be. In word, we are informed
that large proportion of the Guano which
comes to this market is not inspected atall,
or if at all, 1t is done by Il sort of AoStag pro-
cess which pronouces upon whole cargo

spection designed 10 be secured by the pay

with us,) we would much prefer the pract-

A new discovery in the Daguereotypc
Art is just announced by the Daguerrean
Journal, of February, by which impressions
upon plates are procured with all the color'
of nature. This discovery has been made
by l.. l.. Hill, of Westkill, N. Y, and it is
said that he has produced numerous copies
of the colored engravings, true to the tint
Each particular shade is presented with al
the softness in nature or art, and marked
with great deicacy and brilliancy. Tht
discoverer had some difficulty with the vel
low color at FIRST but all colors have, anC
can now, it is said, be produced. The pic
lures have much the appearance Of enamel
ling, and are believed to be equally durable
for it is very difficult to efface them by
securing, and are not acted upon by light
This process, he says, involves the use oI
one substance, entirely new, and is unlike
anything ever named by chemists MIR. IL

interest in his discovery, but declares his
intention to continue experimenting until
he has perfected it as far as he can; when
whatever disposition may be made Of it. he
has resolved that it shall "not be monopo
