Pierce, Jr., with pleasure informs his friends and the public that he has opened Daguerrean Rooms, entrances No. 39 Royal and No. 50 Dauphin street, where, with much care, he has constructed a Sky-Light on the most scientific principles, with the aid of which he will be enabled to take Likenesses which cannot be excelled by any in the country.  He has also fitted up several Rooms for the comfort and accommodation of his patrons, one of which will be especially for the convenience of the ladies as a Dressing Room.
