HAVANA March 10, 1850.
Ed. Crescent The extragagant pretensions Of
the holders Of Clayed Sugars, which have
been rendered more firm by the last re-
ceiyed intelligence from abroad, have pre-
vented anything like extensive operations in
this market. Indeed, intending purchasers, friends

offers for the samples exhibited. There cannot,
feel assured be any doubt but that ere long great
decrease in rates will take place, although to-day

In McGlintock snarrative of his voyage III search
of Sir John Franklin, we find the following remarks
in regard to peeuliarities Of the Polar bear:

MONDAY MORNING, MARCH i
THE HALLoTyPE.

stOnward!'' Ii still the motto Of the arts and
sciences and In no branch of art Is there greater
progress than in that of picture taking, or !" sun,
painting A visit TO the saloons OF Messrs. An.
derson Il Blessing, No. 81 Camp street, corner Of
Commercial Place and an inspection OF the new
style picture called the Hallotyps," will prove
that there ia apparently no limit to Improvement
in the Photographic art
The uallotvpe ia SO called after Mr.. j. d. Hall,
the inventor. who has for some time past been
associated wish Messrs. Anderson Blessing, and
who ii now fully prepared to receive stters for
his new and truly beautiful style Of pictures. The
peeuliarity Of these pictures is that after being
taken in the usual Photographic way, they are put
into the hands eff painter who colors and touches
them off according to Mr.. Halls new method, and
brings them out finally as the most durable and
fnely.fnished pictures that can be conceived. The
picture is CLOSED over or enameed 50 finely, that
whilst its Photographic excellence is preserved to
the minutest detail, it has the appearance Of fine
painting on ivory or porcelain; and what is more,
it is about as durable as figure on porcelain.
The first specimens produced by Mr.. Hall have for
several months been on exhibition, and exposed
to the sun every sunny day; yet they are as per-
feetly fresh and nndimmed as the day they were
pkinted exposure to the sun being Q test which no
other kind of photograph or ambrotype can stand
as has been abundantly shown.
The delay in offering these pictures to the public
has arisen from the difficulty of procuring proper
artist to do the finishing. Such an artist has a.
length been obtained; and the Halotypes may
now be had, of any size required, and at price,
less than those OF any other style of colored pho
tograph. We are sure that visit to the saloon

faction in all cases. His remedies are truly as
tonishing, and the cures they have worked in our
city and vicinity are almost Incredible. Old
chronic cases, of various descriptions, which have
defied the usual remedies, have given way under
his treatment and the patients restored to health
and yigor. We know this of our own knowledge,
as we have seen his remedies used in our own
family, and can speak Of what we know from per-
sonal observation.
We take great pleasure in freely recommending
him to the afflicted wherever he may go, and par
ticulary commend him to our brethren of the
press in the Crescent City. They and the public
will find that his remedies are all he claims for
them and that he is gentleman in all the rela-
