before yesterday, the 7th, I called on M. Daguerre, at his rooms in the Diorama, to see these admirable results. "They are produced on a metallie sur face, the principal pieces about 7 inches by 5, and they resemble aquatint engrav ings, for the they are in simple chiaro oscuro, and not in colors. But the ex quisite minuteness of the delineation can not be conceived. No painting or en graving ever approached it. For ex ample: In a view up the street, a distant sign would be perceived, and the eye could just discern that there were lines of letters upon them, but so minute as not to be read with the naked eye. By the assist ance of a powerful lens. which magnified 50 times, applied to the delineation, every letter was clearly and distinctly legible, and on were also the minutest breaks and lines in the walls of the liuildings, and the pavements of the street. The effect of the lens upon the picture was in a great degree like that of the telescope in natue. "Objects moving are not impressible. The Boulevard, so constantly filled with a moving throng of pedestrians and carria ges. was perfectly solitary, except an in dividual who was having his boots brush ed. His feet were compelled, of course, to be stationary for some time, one being on the box of the foot black, and the other on the ground. Consequently his boots and legs are all - well defined, but he is without body or head, because these were in motion. "The impressions of interior views are Rembrandt perfected. One of Mr. D.'s plates is an impression of a- spider. The spider was not bigger than the head of a large pin, but the image, magnified by the solar microscope to the size of the palm of the hand, having been impressed on the plate. and examined through a lens, was farther magnified. and showed a minute ness of organization hitherto not seen to exist. You perceive how this discovery is. therefore, about to open a new field of research in the depth of microscopic na ture. We are soon to see if the minute has discoverable limits. The naturalist is to have a new kingdom to explore, as much beyond the microscope, as the mi croscope in beyond the naked eye. "But I am near the end of my paper, and I have unhappily to give a melan choly close to my account of this ingenious discovery. M. Daguerre appointed yester day at noon to see my telegraph. He camegand passed more than an hour with me, expressing himself highly gratified at its operation. But while he was thus employed, the great building of the Dio rama, with his own house, all *his beauti ful works, his valuable notes, and papers, the labor of years of experiment, were unknown to him, at that moment becom ing the prey of the flamOs.- His secret indeed is still safe with him, but the steps of his progress in the disiovery,and Lis vluable researches in science are lost to the world. I learn that his Diorama was insured, but to what extent I knov not. I am sure all the friends of science and improvement will unite in expressing the deepest sympathy in M. Daguerre's loss, and the sincere hope that such a liberal sum will be awarded him .by his Govern ment. as shall enable him in some degree at fiaato'ric'ver from his loss." (n- tre'sarie vessel which brought the above letter, the writer himself arrived. From him we have received some addi tional information respecting this very in teresting' discovery, which we cannot at present communicate. We have only room to say, that we are even more im pressed with the value of the invention as a means of procuring, without labor. or ex pense, perfect and, satisfactory panoramas of all the most interesting lalces and scenery on the globe, and, if. we appre hend its power correctly, perfect represen tations of the human countenance, than with its power to reveal the secrets of "mi croscopic nature." With what delight will the eye dwell on the panoramas of Jerusalem, Tbebes,Constantinople,Rome, and other cities of the old world, deline ated with the unerring fidelity of the Da guerrotype? With what interest shall we visit the gallery of portraits of distinguish. ed men of all countries, drawn, not with man's feeble, false, and flattering pencil, but with the powerand trnth of light from heaven! it may not be lung before we. shall witness in this city, the exhibition of such panoramas and such ,portraits. Greal Western Stear Company.--A half yearly general meeting of the proprietors of the Great Western steam ship Company was held in Prince's street, Bristol. last week. Mr. Maze took the chair. Mr. Claxton read the report, which stated that the company'sfirst ship had disproved all unfavorable auguries, and promptly re war -ded the enterprise of the projectors. It was impossible to speak too highly of the qualities of the Great Western steam ship; .fter having run 35-.000 nautical miles, and encountered 36 days of heavy gales, her seams required no caulking, and when she was docked she did not show a wrinkle in her copper. The av'erage of her pas sage out was 15 1-2 days, home 13 days; the shortest passage out was 14 1-2 days, and the shortest home 12 1-4. About 1, bo0 passengers had gone in the ship. After alluding to the great expense neces sary to.combinetspeed, security,, and en joyment, it expressed a hope. that through the liberality of the American Congress, the duty of 2d. per bushel on coals would be given up, and thus a saving of nearly ?1000 a year would he effected.* The company have decidedon constructing their next vessel of iron, for which the preparations are far advanced. It a ppear ed from the statement of accounts, that af paying 2,0001 for additions to the ship, and msurancete October next, 1,5001 for goods damaged in the hurricanes in October last, and upwards of 2,0001 being set apart as a reserve fund, there remained from the. profits sufficient for a dividend of 5 per cent., making with the former one ,of 4 per cent.,9 per cent. for the year. The report was ananimoisly adopted. Rapid Trauelling.---Travellers now pass from Augusta to New York, a dis tance of 910 miles, in about 90 hours, or less than 4 days. As soon as the Wil mington and Roanoke Rail Road is all completed, the same route will be travel ?ed in 80 hou. SOLAnt GAs LionT.-This new inven tion was lately made by Th nas Mad, of -London, and proves how little our Phi losopihers dream of what is hid in heav en and earth. The doctrine of the four elemenis has long fallen to the grounl. but the primeval causes placed in their stead, are daily taken to pieces and new ones substituted,,till more immaterial and indefinat.le than the ones last known. Lavoisier decomposed water into two kinds of air, hydrogen and oxygen. Mad has discovered that these two are the pro ducers of both light and heat; and that con sequently water will burn. He conduct ed steam into the point of a flame of such a heat that it ignited, and continued so ig nite by its own power without the aid of the first auxilliary. The heat which was produced, was enormous and the light only trifling, but the moment lie put a wire of Platina into the flame. its light became equal to three hundred candles. Con ducting this fatne-upon a cylinder of chalk the light became so intense that it could only tie seen through dyed glasses,and heing equal to that of the Sun,.he unmid it so lar gas light. Mail has forthwith taken a pateet and obtained perusission to con struct a solar gas light at the new Ex change which is building in London, and he also is building a tower in St. Peters burg. which will light that city like the Sun at mid noon. The sensation which is produced by this invention is enornious, the shares of the gas companies have fallen from 70 to 15 per cent, and the oil ier chants have petitioned government to de lay the introductioinof the new invention for-12 months, so as to enable them to dis pose of their stocks Mad'retains as his secret the manner of igniting the steam. QUEEN VIcToRIA -The Richmond Enquirer publishes a letter from Mr. Ste venson, our Minister to Great Britain. in which he describes the person, appear ance and hatits of the .Queen of Great Britain. Mr. Stevenson writes from op portunities of close and frequent observa tion, which few persons, even of the high. est rank in the kingdom, can have had. He says, Of the Queen, I suppose you will ex pect me to say something, and expre's my opinion. The press in both countries gives the most flattering accounts of her beauty, wisdom, &c. Indeed, it is the fashion here'to represent her'(as I suppoSe they do all Queens) as something short only of the Divinity. Now I will tell you very frankly what I think of her, and I had a fair opportunity of judging. As to her person and lace they are pretiy fairly re presented in many of the numerous paint ings and prints, some of which I suppose you have seen. Sully's I think as good and-pleasing a likeness as any that has been taken. It has been sent to Phila delphia. None of theta, however, do jus tice to the .expression of the face. It is certainly not the sort I should ca!l beauti ful-but, when lightened up by animatei conversation, the face is full of expression and sweetness, and strongly indicative of character. Her manners ate bland and unaffected; indeed, there is a simplicity and frankness and engaging atlability about her, quite remarkable for a Queen. Another striking thing is, the total ab sence of all ambitious display or desire for admiration, which might be expected froni so young a person, and she a Sovereign. No one can approach the present Queen withoti being struck, not only with her easy and charming deportment, and that peculiar softiess of disposition and tem per, for which she is so remarkable, bi with the entire self command and repose of manner which might he expected io guard a Sovereign of more ad vanced years and experience. She has, besides, all the characteristic bon naturel and good tem per of the English. In relation to the Queen's personal hab its, I understand she rises between 8 and 9, breakfasts at 10, devotes herself to busi ness till 2, then exercises, on horse back, and that at a rapid pace, going at the raie of 10 or 12 miles an hour. Of her horse manship 1 had an opportunity of judging. having myself been present in onec of her excursions of 20 miles in 2 hours; and I can assure you, if she does not ride like Ctesar, or hunt like Diana, she is yet one of the boldest and finest female riders I ever saw. Her attention to business is such, that I understand, if adespatch comes while she is at dinner, she commonly rised and at tends to it. She has a tarn and capacity for business, and will, as she advances, doubtless take even a deeper interest in afl'airs of state than she does at present. IZSOENtoUs IIvEN'Tlo.-By the com mon mode of taking a cast of the H uman Face, or Form, the weight angl construc tion of the wet plaster not only renders the process disagreeable, but imperfect, especially in representing the features: for the muscles of the face become rigid, and the physiognomical expression of a praster mask is sullen and painful in consequence. These defects are entirely obviated by the niew machine, which consists of a verttcal disc wibose saface is composed of an al most innumerable quantity of very fine steel wires or needles, as close together as the hairs of a brush, moving in two plates perforated with a corresponding numbsr of holes, with so much ease that the points yield to the slighest pressure. Into -tbis surface the face is gently pushed and by'a most simple and ingenious contrivance the whole of the needles af-e in an instant fixed securely,their surfaces presenting a concave mould of the face. Plaster is then ponred in, the wires being so dlose that the liquid cannot escape between them, and when set hard, a working mould is taken from it, in which other casts are made. So instatnta neous is the operation, andi so delicate the. conttructionI of the mechanism, that the face ofre crying child is taken with all its muscular contortions, and -were any per son to keep open his eyes, the eyehall would not be injured, and a stiff beard of t wo days growth would be marked in the cast. Election for Congress in Illinois.-By an act, passed by the legislature of Illinois, the election of members of Congress is deferred until 1841. This was done, in the hope that before that time~the new ap pointment would have been made, when Illinois will doubtless have at least five, nrobabily seven members. The Innocence of the sub- Treasuv scheme admitted by the Whig.-The Rich mond Whi5, endeavoring to persuade Mr Widson of Cumberland that there is noth ing essential in the Sub-Treasury to-sepa rate hin rroi Whiggery, says: .&The Sub- Treasury Scheme-a mere child of Legislation, t hich may be tried one year and discarded the next, and which, to try, or not to try at all, does not infringe upon the Constitution-does nut, unless by indiscretion, nor of necessity, touch those radical questions either of principle, or aty honest practieni adminis tration of the government. which as they are favorably or unfavorably resolved, de termino the problem of our experiment in free Governmeut." This is exactly true of the measure pro posed by the Adininistration. If the Gov ernment cannot get along in the manage ment of its Onanees without the Bank power, the attetupt being "tried one year may he discarded the next:" and this does not "infringe upon the Constitution." Hut how is it with the scheme of the Whigs anti Conservatives? Break down the present Republican Administration and instal Henry Clay. Then we have a National Hank of unlimited powers es inblished-filty millions capital-50 years Iharter-branches in every State. The Const.itution is inlringed, annd irrepealuble vested right-s fastened like a yoke, onl the !ountt rv, which cannot "hte tried one year and discarded the next." This is the state of the case which makes Mr. W;i ion's ditfereuce with the Whigs essential. Globe. From the Army and Nary Chronicle. The government of Peru is at present n the hands of a woman. Matdsme Ga narra is a fenale Bonaparte; and though ter hu-sband is nominally the head of the epublic, she is the real sovereign. It was lwing to her energy that he rose from the anks of the army, a common soldier, to tis present rank. It is said that she never )ermits any subject, pertaini g to the go vernment. to be discussed m privy council. without her presence; and she always tccomparies the President on his official iisits, especially those made to foreign dig itaries. Gen Gaiarra miade a visit, not one since, to our squa-iron, accompanied y the diflerent tuinisters of department: adame Ganarra of course with him. ifter the customary salutes, they entered he Commodoro's cabin. where refresh nents were offered, and tie usual cotnpli nents exchanged. When Madame Ga narra thought -they had remained a stitfi :iont length of time, she rose, looked iround her with the air of an empress, nand uttered the single word "vaTos !" eft the cabin, the others following her like i flock of sheep followin' their leader 3he always wears pistols and a dirk, ati s said to be a gool shot. Not long sinre. inding some fault with the police and dis :ipline of one of the regiments of the ar ny, ste sent for the Colonel commanding t, and reprimanded him in a mimter to which he did not feel inclined to submit, -specially from a woman; he replied that ie would hold himself responsible to the President, but not to the President's wife. He was soon taught, however, whom he lad to al ith; for Madame Gamarra mmedt iy coimannnded him to silence. ind, at the same time presenting a pistol, old him that if he uttered another word :f insolence, site would drive the bullet hrougb his head. Some 'my that her hus )atnd has mitere than once experienced sneh % ihreat; but we all know the world is ad licted to scandal.

Int the Sett ate, Mr. Harrington offeredi a substitute for the resolution, with the nuame of WVar ner Wing, in the place of Aiphents Felch.
