would 90 into Committee for one hour to con-
slider only such bills as have already passed
the other House-bills to which no objection
shall now be nade-much good would come

THE PROGRESS OF ART.

The attention Of tho public has recently
oeen called to the extraordinary discoveries
and improvements made by Mr.. j. L. White.
hurst, IN Photographs and Ambrotypes, but
We propose in the present article to impart a
full and comprehensive knowledge of a subject
which, hitherto, has been but briefly adyerted
to- The process Of taking oil Photographs on
enamelled mill boards is known only to Mr.
Whitehurst, and by this achievement like
nesses are taken either from life or from small
Daguerreotypes, and transferred by the action
of light and chemical preparation to the CEN
amelled mill board, in oil colors, life size, by
magnifying or diminishing to suit the desired
purpose. This "board'' is prepared in oil
coiOrs, so as to present perfect adaptedness for
Photographic purposes, with q surface as
smooth and nearly az solid as highly polished
marble and impervious to the changes of tim
or climate, and even to the action of water
The photograph, when finished up on the
'enamelled mill board,' presents a soft and
brilliant effect, leaving competition q matter
OF impossibility in every other style and art of
painting; while the original prominent photo.
graphic outlines impart to the general appear
ance of the portrait, an Elusive appearance of
actual life. This discovery is particularly
adapted to the obtaining of portraits from
Daguerreotypes of deceased persons
BY the Photograph on paper, works of a de-
scrptive or biographical character can be illus
trated in manner superior to any other va.
rious methods of engraving, and at far less
expense. This is matter worthy the attention
of book publishers and others, and as We are
pleased to learn, has already claimed their
consideration. From one to ten copies can be
produced from sitting or painting; they are
multiplied upon fine texture of paper pecu.
liarly adapted to binding in albums and illus.
trated books. The process of coloring is not
confined to oil colors alone all other STYLES
of coloring may be used with equal success.
We now come to noti,e the new and popular
style of picture known as the Ambrotype, q
new and wonderful improvement over the Da.
guerreotype. These pictures are made on plate
glass, and selected glass cemented SO as to
produce the type between two sheets of glass,
rendering it impervious to tho action of water
or acids of any kind. The exceeding fneness
both of light and shade, and richness of tone
thus obtained, is truly wonderful. They do
not reverse the subject, but represent every
thing in its true position, and being with
out the glare of the Daguerreotype, may be
seen in any light. The Ambrotype certainly
possesses many advantages and beauties not
observable in the ordinary Daguerreotype,
and We should not be surprised If it eventually
'uperssdesthe old style Of picture, particularly
as the cost Of them is about the same Mr..
mnitehurst has purchased the exclusive right
OK the patent to make ambrotypes in most of
his principal galleries. The genuine may be
distinguished from limitations in the following

CONGRESSIONAL PRoCKEDISes.

In the Senate, yesterday, after we went to

Mr harrison made personal explanation,
calling the attention of the House TO an attack
made upon him by member from Massachu-

Implication not only CT his personal honor,

We find also, in the same paper, note from

bill debate, which the Republican press is e1-

over the efforts of the opposition to make cap
