      ton of true Prussian blue , but the paper rapidly acquires a violet-purple colour , which deepens after a few minntes ; ais 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 tins peculiarity , that they darken again spontaneously on exposure to the air in darkness , and are soon obliterated . The paper , however , remains susceptible to litrht and capable of receiving other pictures , which in 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 few | moments entirely obliterated , but presently re-appear , with reve rsed lights and shades . In this state they are fixed , and the ammonia , witli 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 furiiish , 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 ammo iiio-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 effect 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 . Friday Evonisg , December 30 , 18 53 . In- tile absence of any special news , and the conviction prowing stronger daily that war has become inevitable , the Funds navo been very weak all the week—at one time as low a * 03 * . To-day there has been a rally to 94 , owing to no intelligence of any character whatever . The French Funds B . vmpathise with our own . A rumour , very vogue , is abroad this morning that the entente cordtale between Franco and England is not what it has hitherto been . If this provo true , and Cobur £ iritrigue be found to bo at the bottom of tho difference , wo shall sco a great drop in tho Funds . There has not been much speculation in Railway Shares ; a slight dopression in Foreign Shares , and in somo of our own heavy Sharon . Mines have boon vory sparingly dealt in . Tho mercantile prospects for tho now year , notwithstanding tho gloom hanging over us at tho present moment , aro vory satisfactory , and money bids fair to bo plentiful . A war or a misunderstanding with Franco , of course , would alter the present cheerful prospects , and , as I said boforo , it is more than possiblo that wo shall see Consols 3 or 4 por cent , lower by the next account . Consols close rather firmer , at 931 , 04 .

      CORN MARKET . Mark Lane , Friday Evening , Dec . 30 . Local Trade . —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 Teabe . —There are no arrivals this week off with the

      the Coast . The holidays have rather interfered course of trade , but , notwithstanding , prices gradually improve , and the English and Irish demand , as well as inquiries from Scotland , are decidedly on the increase . Ine continental demand continues , though with scarcely so much activity as last week , probably owing to the ^ oUdays , as prices are very well supported throughout the North , of ^ T may again call attention to the fact we have repeatedly mentioned before , that only a very small Proportion of the cargoes shipped in the Black Sea during the last three months are destined for the northern markets .
