The Daguerreotype.—The Daguerreotype apparatus, made from the designs of the distinguished discoverer of the process, is manufactured and for sale at 140 Nassau Street.  The subscriber is the first, it is believed, who made this apparatus in this country.  It has been used with successful results by gentlemen well known to the public, who are ready at any time to attest to its excellence.  Several simplifications also of the apparatus, by scientific men have been adopted, making it preferable to the French apparatus.  Its cost will also be less by about 30 dollars.
