DAGuERREorYpE VISITING CARDS.
The Paris correspondent who reports the
fashions of that versatile city for the New
York Journal of Commerce, states that
new style of visiting cards has been pro,
duced there which has created great SEN
sation, and will, it is said, become the fash
ion with those who like extraordinary nov
elites. Instead of the name printed on
the card the small piece of pasteboard has
Photographic likeness OF the visitor; the
face appears under different aspects, accor-
ding TO the circumstances under which the
visit is made. For instance, on ordinary
occasions, your likeness will bear the ha-
bitual expression OF your countenance; on
New Years day, your face will be joyous
and smile your Fluctuations. If your visit
be one of coincidence, your portrait will be
melancholy and sorrowful. otake leave,
instead OF the symbolical letters P. P. C.,
the visitor will be represented on his card
cojGrd with the travelling cap, and framed
in the window Of railroad car. The art
of photography has been so much simpll-
fed that the cost Of these portrait-cards is
but small. One hundred may be had for
25 francs or dollars, and are handsomely
executed and embellished.

CHEsNUT FLOUR IN ITALY.-An Ameil-
can traveller writes from Florence, Decem-
Der 9Th, to the .Ntw York Times - AT the
gateway here, and in fact anywhere else,
YOU can buy a slice Of chesnut hasly pud-
ding-polanta, made of the -four OF Italian
chesnuts. 1t appears daily in the streets
about noon, upon flat tin pans, and there is
no coin SO small but what will purchase c.
nough TO taste of, at least. Each pudding,
when in a state of entirety, is rather a
mound than pudding, and resembles con-
structions met with in Greenland, and used
both for purposes OF residence and oural.
1t is round and six inches high in the mid
die. Your first wish is to tread in it and
see it ooze away on either side. Your next
prompting may be to purchase, from mo-
tive of legitimate curiosity. would adj
wise you to ask for rhree-fIths of cents
worth only, as that will be quite as much
as you can eat. Even that amount will be
weighed in pair Of huge, uncouth, sheet
iron scales. But the slicing off of the sue
cessive portions is a most remarkable pro
cess. This is done by string. If you
pull on The two ends of piece Of twlne
YOU create primitive sort OF blade with
edge sufficient for all purposes. Tins offers
20 little surface that none Of the precious
pudding clings to it, and thus no loss en-
tails. Howe yer, this is not peculiar to
Florence, for all the butter-women in Par
is cut ounces and half-pounds from the fir
kin with piece Of tight twine. The taste
of this sticky preparation Is not as disagree
able as might be supposed: : still, it is not
as paatabIe as many other products oi
cookery. An enormous quantity is daily
sold, and the consumption Of chesnut flour
enters largely into the food tables and
breadstutf statistics Of the country"

New Hampshire.

We apprised our readers ycster-
day, lsays the Charleston Mercury,
of the results Of the New Hanrp-
shire election. The. old Granite
State, which in past time has been
deemed the Gibrallar OF Democra.
.cy, which has ever been distin-
guished for its fealty to the State
Rights doctrines, and TO its coDsti-
tutionaI obligations, has at length
succumbed to whiggery and aboli-
ton, aided by their new ally, Know
Noihingism. That same combina-
ton Of the enemies Of the South,
which last. autumn swept the al
most entire North and Northwest,
and among whose results are the
election Of SEWARD and WILSON TO
the Senate of the United States, has
also triumphed in New Hampshire,
and the seats which were once
filled by WOODBURY. and ArHFRToN,
will now be occupied by Know
aboIitionists, among whom
]oHN P. HALE stands conspicuous
IS leader.

Important to Postmasters and tothe
Public.

We are requested to call special at
tention to the law just passed by
Congress, says the Washington I'm
ion, modifying the rates Of postage
Sc, particularly to those provisions,
requiring that all letters between pla-
ces in the United States shall be pre-
paid from and after the first Of April,
1855, by stamps or otherwise, and
that from, and after tie first of Jan,
nary neat -postmasters must place
postage stamps upon all prepaid let
tiers upon which such stamps may
not have been placed by the writer's,
or which may not be enclosed in stam-
ped envelops.
From and after the first Of April,
1856, the postage to be charged on
each single letter for any distance in
the United States not exceeding 81
900 miles is three cents, and over s.
900 miles ten cents.
The law does rot change the ex-
listing rates or regulations in regard
to letters to or from Canada or other
foreign countries, nor does it affect
the ranking privilege.
The provisions in regard to the
registration of valuable letters will
be carried into effect, and special in
structions issued to postmasters on
the subject, as soon as the necessary
blanks can be prepared and sdistribu-
ted.
We beg to suggest that editors
generally throughout the United
States would render an essential SER
vice to their readers by calling at
tention to this subject.
