The IIilIotyDe.

Mr Hjli in another letter to the Daguerrian Journal, gives some further information relative to his important discovery. He says:
 I have now ftfy-ive specimens. They are all equally perfect It IS quite remarkable that 1 have never yet made p4rtlat failure. Those impressions which have had too much light are nearly strong. sonnd, brilliant, and beautiful as those correctly timed in the camera, being in- iefior only m having Inc coloTs less deep. Even the whites retain ther strength. The folds of the linen are a'teays well defined. Blue or solarzed linen IS unknown ln my process and there IS al ways strength and cleaTnesS in the whites unat- taluable by mercury. During the past winter have several tIaes taken view in which there is deep red house, while the ground was covered with snow. For experiment, exposed the plate 50 long as to reduce the bright red of the house rery Agh red, while, ai the same tune, the M hite snow was developed with beautiful w hiteness. have copied several very highly colored French prints The copies are far superior to the orgnsls m that, while they have erery tlnt Of eolor they are exceedingly brilliant.

 My trouble with the getasss which you nen,on- cd in the last number of the Daguerrelan Journal relates only the homogeneous rays ; orange, buf and all the yarous shades of yellow come out true, except the chrome ysiloe, which appears less brilliant. This, however, is thought by distIn- gaishcd artists no Serious objection.

Almost Prophecy.

In 1853, John C. Calhoun, in replying to Daniel Webster, thus addressed him: I" If the principles you contend for are correct. you will wake up a splrt of abolition in the North you will make your people believe they are responsible for this InSttution-and the day that principle gets into ther minds, and that feeling into their hearts, this Union will be at an end and you yourself will be the very first to feel the effects of the doctrine you ale now maintaining, by being ostracised and scoTned.
 This was prophecy. Only the other day, the city authorities of Boston slammed the doors of -Faueuil Hall in the face of Webster, and refused him hearing-treating him as no more entitled to il than Fred, Douglass or Abby Poison!
