Photography. £Fouut« Article J In Leavin...
tion of true Prussian blue , but the paper rapidl y acquires a violet-purple colour , which deepens after a few minutes , as it dries , to almost absolute blackness . In this state it is a positive photographic paper of high ^ sensibility ; and gives pictures of great depth and sharpness ; but with this peculiarity , that they darken again spontaneously on exposure to ¦ the air in darkness , and are soon obliterated . The paper , however , remains susceptible to light , and capable of receiving other pictures , which . iu their turn fade , without any possibility ( so far as I can see ) of arresting them ; . which is to be regretted ^ as they are very beautiful , and the paper of such easy preparation . If washed with ammonia or its own carbonate , they are a fewj moments entirely obliterated , but presently re-appear , with reversed lights and shades . In this state they are fixed , and the ammonia , with all that it will dissolve , being removed by washing in water , their colour becomes a pure Prussian blue , which deepens much by keeping . If the solution be mixed , there results a very dark violet-coloured ink , which may be kept uninjured in an opaque bottle , and will readily furnish , by a single wash , at a moment ' s notice , the positive paper in question , which is most sensitive when wet . " It ; will be remembered that mercury was an agent named in the process of the daguerreotype . Employed there , however , it must be considered in relation with the nitrate of * silver , and not , in itself , as a sensitive object .
The result of another experiment by Herschel is to show that mercury , under certain conditions , possesses direct actinic susceptibility . This is also one of the paper processes , and the mercurial salt is employed with great effect in combination with periodide of iron ( much diluted ) , or with ammonib-citrate or tartrate , ' when the action is far more powerful . The difficulty of arresting this action here again steps in . Before closing the present paper , we may appropriately record a striking exhibition at the Polytechnic . Very likely it may have occurred to numbers who have seen the transparent pictures adapted to the stereoscope ^ that they would well suit the purpose of " dissolving views . " To that purpose they are now turned ^ and with an effec t really beautiful . The albumen glass pictures , taken by Mr . Mayall , are not themselves more than two inches square , and have to be magnified forty thousand times , to cover the disc in the theatre of the institution . These pictures , by a simple , and not very expensive , process , can be multiplied . What a seasonable boon for Christmas magic-lantern entertainments ! Q .

Money Market And City Intelligence. Frid...
MONEY MARKET AND CITY INTELLIGENCE . Friday Evening , December 30 , 18 53 . IiV the absence of any special news , and tho conviction growing stronger daily that war lias become inevitable , tho " funds nave been very weak all tho week—at ono time as low aa 934 . To-day there has been a rally to 04 . owing to no intelligence of any character whatever . Tho French Funds sympathise with our own . A rumour , vory vague , is abroad this morning that the entente cordiala between Franco and England is not what it has hitherto been . If this prove true , and Cobur ^ intrigue bo found to bo at tho bottom of tho difference , wo shall sco a great drop in tho Funds . There has not been much speculation in Railway Shares ; a slight depression in Foreign Shares , and in aorao of our own heavy Share ' s . Mines have boon vory sparingly dealt in . Tho mercantile prospects for tho now year , notwithstanding tho gloom hanging over us at tho present moment , are vory Hatisfactory , and monoy bids fair to ho plentiful . A war or a misunderstanding with Franco , of course , would alter tho present cheerful prospects , and , as I said boforo , it is moro than possible that wo shall seo Consols li or 4 I >« r cent , lower bv the noxfc account . Consols cloao rather flrmor , at 93 J , Qk

Corn Market. Mark Lane,.Friday Evening, ...
CORN MARKET . Mark Lane ,. Friday Evening , Dec . 30 . Local Trai > e . —We had no market on Monday ; and Wednesday and to-day have in some degree been characterised by the absence of activity usual at this season ; yet in the business done sellers have had decidedly the advantage , and Wheat is fully 2 s . and Oats 6 d . to Is . dearer than last Friday . Barley fully maintains the improvement last noted . The value of Beans and Peas is also fully maintained . Floating- Trade . —There are no arrivals this week oft [ [ I
the Coast . The holidays have rather interfered with the course of trade , bufc , no ' twithstanding , prices gradually improve , and the English and Irish , demand , as well as inquiries from Scotland , are decidedly on the increase . The continental demand continues , though with scarcely so much activity as last week , probably owiug to the holidays , as prices are very well supported throughout the North of We may again call attention to the fact we have repeatedly mentioned before , that only a veiy small proportion of the cargoes shipped in the Black Sea during the last three months are destined for the northern markets . i | i ' ¦ '
