DAGUERREOTYPES.—Some important advances are made in this art, although it has not been improved so rapidly as we had hoped on its introduction. We have recently been shown a very perfect photographic picture, taken by an amateur in Boston, in which the view is presented in its right position, instead of being reversed, as in the ordinary views. Some have also succeeded in taking views on a large scale, full length portraits, &c., without any perceptible disproportion. But when a method is discovered of etching the plates deep enough to print from them, giving fair impressions on paper, we shall feel more perfectly satisfied with the art than at present.
