New Ambrotype Rooms—Hopkins and Elwell, two enterprising and studious artists, are fitting up a splendid Picture Gallery in the south part of Merchants’ Exchange. Directly over the Drug Store of J. A. Perry, for taking a lasting likenesses of the “human face divine” in ambrotype.  For light and convenience we know not where a better locality could be found.  Their pictures in the show case at the entry-way and in their rooms, show what they can do.  From what we have seen, and we have examined their pictures closely, we think they take an excellent ambrotype, well-toned, life-like and clear.  We commend their advertisement in another column to particular notice.
