Thus it will be that during the first six months wa
had more failures reported than during the last sx
months This Is accounted for by the fact that during
the spring OF 1850 about the last Of tho difficulties orig
mating in 1857 were settled, largely by Compromise
extensions some able to carry their contract
but others found 1t inpossibs and after having strug
ged hard under embarrassment, were forced to fail
tbs will also serve to explain extent the fact
Tn hy the table that in some of the States the per
ceLtaee Of failures has been greater in 1860 than in
1851 In further explanation it ought to be remembered
that the panic OF 1857 struck the great centres Of
first and they Of the first to recover from
its effects. In districts the pressure had not
been felt at all when our statement for 1857 was pre-
pared Since that time those districts have also suf-
fered and bad not recovered prior 10 the spring Of last
year.
The character Of the failures during 1860 has been
about the usual average paying very fair dividends
and some but small We do not believe that any section
or tn country has been distinguished for greater pro
portion OF dishoBest failures than another An insnuaon
OF this kind has been made but records cont adct
showing that VIII 10 fraudulent failures occur everywhere
the large cities give greater ratio than any other por
ton OF the country North or South.
Probably the rate per cent Of failures Ia each state
will be interesting TO subscribers any part Of
the statement The average being under two per cent
it viii BIO that the following States fall below
Alabama Arkansas, Connecticut Delaware and District
Of Columbia, Florida, Indiana, Kentucky Maine, Mary
land, Massachusetts, Mississippi, New Hampshire, New
Jersey. North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsy lvania Rhode
Island Vermont virgina while the following are above
it--Georga, Illinois, Iowa. Louisiana Michigan, Mis-

BRApys PHOTOGRAPHS OF THE PRINCE or WALES
AND SUffE.

BRADY PHOTOGRAPHS OF PRINCE WALES
AND SUiTE.
The extensive order which Mr. Brady received from
the Prince OF Wales and the members OF his suite pre-
vous 70 their departure has just been completed and
sent OF 10 Eng and II consists full length and bust
photographs or various sizes from that the imperial
down to the miniature The impressions sout amount
altogether TO upwards Of I'VE hundred
All these portraits have been got up with degree Of
care and artistic finish which has rarely been be
slowed on works Of similar character They are moro
like elaborate productions Of the pencil than photo
graphic pictures, but their manipulation has
stance been allowed to detrac from the fidelity which
the chief merit Of the latter The most beautiful speoi
men that has as yet emanated from Mr. Brady s. and,
consequently, from any other establishment OF the
Same Sort is Ithe three-quarter portrait Of his
Royal Highness. II Is impossible to discover that
IL is not water color likeness, exqusitely is 1t
colorei and SO sketchy its outlines. II is a chef
doaaTe oil the Photographic art aided and enhanced by
the skill OF tho mniatu painter The Franc in which
it Is set has claim to description for it's novelty II Is
of white enamel with border OF gold oak leaves run
ming between two straight lines Of FURNISH The effect
is exceedingly chaste and elegant and we question whe-
Their any more attractive object than this picture deco
rates the walls OF the great drawing room in Buckingham
Palace.
The large groups consisting of the Prince and his SUITE
difference being that they are executed in India ink
These pictures are not liable to fade like ordinary photo
graphs, being fixed by preparation, which is in
sensible TO the effects Of the atmosphere.
The time spent in getting up these impressions TO their
present high state Of finish would scarcely be credited
Those that umble at the high price Of properly exc
cuied photographs have but little idea OF their cost To
the work Of tho camera must be superadded that of
thoror ghly skilled portrait painter And yet people find
fault with prices which half onethird OF tho
amount Of those that formerly paid Cor oil or water
color likenesses.
Although tho royal commission was a large one but
little money win be made by it. Mr.. Brady was more
anxious to elevate the character Of American photography
abroad than 70 convert this opportunity into Of
personal gain and he has accordingly charged the lowest
rates consistent with the of labor bestowed on
the pictures. There is doubt that estimating their
merits the economy of their production will be taken n-
TO account by English connosseurs In point Of artistic
excellence and cheapness, they will defy competition
from anything OF the kind that has been done by
the English and French photographers.
