vicinity, after long time spent in experiment
ing, have succeeded in attaining such periec-
tion in The art of dnguerr pying, as to. be able to
take groups six feet apart, and landscapes by
the same arrangement, everything in peect TO-
Gus.
We have seen specimens takenty them which
far exceed anything which has been before exhi-
bited by dnguerreans. We saw horizontal
line of six feet, several objects placed at differ
ent distances, each minuteiy clear and distinct,
and all in perfect focal arrangement. In the
bsck ground colored French lithograph was
taken with admirable precision. We are in
formed that the process is entirely new with
them, being taken by an arrangement ofthe com
mon camera known only to themselves no re-

known. The cost of the arrangement will not
exceed five dollars.

WASHINGTON, Thursday, June 8.


WASHINGTON, Thursday, June 3. 1852
The Express gasps in its rage for cpl
thets to bestow upon your Washington Cores
pondent because he chooses not to disclose the
name ofthe person who lately had an invitation to
the Presidents, and to whom that functionary ex-
pressed his strong anxiety for denomination. it
is hardly worth while to seek for the true cause OF
the extreme ferocity The Egpress manifests on
this occasion. We know that when the fortunes
Of individuals become desperate, they are apt to
grow desperate in language and in conduct. This
is one way of accounting for the excessive venom
Of The Express. We are Of opinion that it is be-
set by the specters of both political and pecufary
bankruptcy. If common report speaks truly, it
has of late lived upon the dosceurs of the Union
Saving Committee, and the largesses ola leading
Loco Foco politician. But these are but tempo
rary resources. Its political fortune and Its pe-
cuniary hopes wane with the setting sun Of the
present dynasty. Another cause oil It's angry
ebullitons, is undoubtedly to be found originating
in the late Wing Caucus, at which, and in the
comm ents that followed, its senior editor was 80
essentially roasted and pitched to the dogs. its
triune eye on the Capitol has already had one
fit of foarning upon your Correspondent Tor ms
comments on that occasion, and evidently holds
gudge as punk holds FIRE. Still another reason
exists in the fact that the lurking devil that ant
mates the spirit and guides the tone. of that Jour
nal, is enraged to think that it is Likely to lose the
desired opportunity to wreak vengeance upon tae
agent who has damaged its imaginary pTo'pec"
by his revelations.
But, as we have said, it is hardly worth while 20
seek for the reasons of the incorporate rage on
The Express. Either of our suggestions wiz an
swsr the purpose Of throwing sufficient light upon
it. One thing appears quite plain. The ExPres
has taken this opportunity to pump ITS wen ~
blackguardism dry upon your Correspondent ~

that it has got into such white heat over our
statement. We recommend cooling drinks. and

INSTRUCTIVE FACTS.

The recently published official statistics
of the Kingdom of Poland for the year
l649 contain some facts that are worthy
Of notice. Though, like the statements of
the Russian Government generally, they
cannot be relied on as truth, they are still
a nearer approach to it than can elsewhere
be obtained on this subject.
The Kingdom of Poland contains so, 900
square miles Of land and FIVE millions of
inhabitants, or loo to the square mile the
State of Rhode Island has 1850 square
miles and $4,000 inhabitants, or 100 to
the square mile; we have not the exact
statistics at hand, but suppose that in the
year le49 the State of Rhode Island pro-
