PHOTOGRAPHY.

Let US observe how vast an improvement
Of social life, and how valuable an addition
to our power Of executing law has been an
optical discovery, by which we have made
the sun our fellow workman. II would have
been deemed romance had any loretold,
from observing the effect Of light in discover
ing certain substances, such a cOnsummati0n
as obtaining the most accurate portraits in
second-portraits the inmate accuracy Of
which hours and DAYS Of the painters labor
could not approach and the eonseqaentpow-
er, not only Of preserving the features OF
those most regcred and beloved, but of pre-
venting the escape OF criminals, the commits
sion Of numberless frauds, aud the defeat Of
the injured in seeking the recovery Of their
rights. Nor let US forget the less important
benefit Of improving both our manufactures
and the public taste By multiplying perfect
copies Of all the great pictures in the world,
so that for few pence may be obtained the
exact duplicates of Raphaei's cartoons and
every other renowned lmastcrpiece-an apPll-
cation Of the art which we awe to the liberal
and Discerning patronage of the Prince Con.
sort. Nv illusttiols friend and colleague ol
/ the Institute, Aragn, was 50 impressed witt
the vast importance Of photography IN all it'
relations, that the last years of hls life were
chiefly uccnpied with whatever belonged tt

a Busy WEEK AT ALBANY--What with new
charters for this unfortunate city, and new rail-
road lines in every possible direction through
our streets, and new streets and avenues through
our northern suburbs, regardless of the rights of
property holders, public economy, or the wishes
Of the community, and what with registry law
and liquor law tinkering, &c, we may expect
busy week among our republican law makers
and lobby jobbers at Albany. Thus, before Sa-
turday next, our city affairs public and private,
municipal and lobby jobbing may undergo some
remarkable transformations and notifications;
but whether they will involve the making Gov.
Morgan, or Comptroller Iaws or the Mayor, the
Viccroy, OF Captain General Of this metropolis,
remains to be seen. At all events, should the
proceedings Of our Albany Soons require it, we
can, like our old police force, appeal 10 the Court
ofAppcals.

BUILDING ENTERPRISES IN THE CTY.-When
the financial crisis of 1857 came upon us, the
work necessarily stopped on the various build
ings then in course of erection in this city, aud
many enterprises of this kind which had been
contemplated were abandoned. There is per-
haps no better illustration Of the material pros
perty ofany city than its architectural progress
whether the constructions be public buildings for
the adornment of the city, blocks of stores for
the accommodation Of its business, or residences
for the comfort and luxury of its inhabitants.
We publish in another column highly interest
ing article, showing in detail the work at pre-
sent on band by some Of the leading architects
Of New York, in the erection of stores and dwell
ings. The number of that profession from whom
we are able to present reports to-day is but q
small part OF the whole number in the city.
1t will be seen that buildings to the value
Of over three million dollars are now in course
of construction, many of them of a most costly
as well as ornamental description. Taking into
account the work on the hands of the architects
not iDcludedin our ls it is not unsafe to say that
five millions will be expended in buildings during
the coming summer. This fact il certainly in
dicative Of reyiying trade and growing pros
perity.

THE ADMINISTRATION AND THE CONNECTICUT
EIEcrToN.-The Rochester Union (anti-adminis
tration democrat) says that the defeat Of the de-
mocracy in Connecticut sis we'll calculated to
stimulate the hopes Of every intelligent and re-
hecting democrat that brighter day is about to
dawn" "and for this reason: our Connecticut
brethren were constrained by circumstances to
shoulder the administration, &c. This is sorry
joke; for the fact is notorious shat all the de-
feats of the democratic party for the last twelve
months have been mainly the work of democra
tic treacbery against the administration; and
this element of mischief was not wanting in Con-
necticut. But how such defeat from this cause
is Calculated to stimulate the hopes of reflect
ing democrats" we cannot imagine, unless their
"hopes'' Of revenge against the administration
are stronger than their desires to save the party.
We thus suppose that "the brighter day about to
dawn" to cur Rochester contemporary is the anti
cipated day when another Buffalo Presidential
ticket shall be proclaimed against the regular de-
mocratlc party.

SLAVERY IN New MExIco.-We perceive that
some of our Southern exchanges are exuting
over the late act of the Legislature of New Mex
leo establishing slavery in said Territory, as sub
stantially opening the way to the South for the
occupation of Arizona and the States of Mexico.
We fear, however, that this act of the New Mex
leo Legislature is "delusion and snare" re-
gular pi,fall Of the Kansas pattern; that its OBJ
ject Is agitation, and that the result may be an
agitation in the next Congress disastrous to all
concerned. Northern "emigrant aid societies.
will be apt to follow, and popular sovereignty
will thus give us Kansas imbroglio on the Rio
Grande, if our Southern politicians persist in
making fuss over this subject of slavery In New
Mexico That Territory can never be made a
slave State; it is too far off, it is too poor for
slave labor, and affords too wide range for run
away niggers; but for purposes ola sectional sgi-
tation, two or three dozen nggers in New Next
co will answer as well as they did in Kansas.
