Miniatures, single or in groups, taken in the best manner, without regard to weather, and warranted not to fade.  An idea has prevailed that, in time, pictures would fade, but this erroneous impression has been entirely removed by many eminent chemists, who give it as their opinion that a Daguerreotype Picture, coated with a solution of gold, will stand any length of time; and no respectable operator will send out a picture without this gilding.

Ladies are recommended to dress in figured or dark material, avoiding white or light blue.  Gentlemen, a black or figured vest, also figured scarf or cravat, so that the shirt bosom will not be too much exposed.  Children, plain and stripped, or figured dresses, avoiding white or light blue; red will take like a dark dress.  Children taken from 9, A. M., to 2, P. M.; others from 8, A. M. till 6, P. M., without regard to weather.  Lancey & Co.

N.B…Messrs. Lancey & Co.

Julia Dean Daguerreotype.  On Calling in to D. L. Glen’s Gallery, 221 King-street, I was shown there the finest production in the line of Daguerreotyping I ever saw.  Being an artist myself, and having seen others in the different Northern cities, I must, with pleasure say, that finer pictures are taken there, that in any city in the United States, or in the world.

It was the likeness of Miss Julia Dean, also, a group of Miss Julia and sister.  I find him assisted by S. Jenkins, from Richmond, Virginia, of Whitehurst’s Gallery.  He is acknowledged by the best Northern Artists to be ahead in his line.

Mr. Jenkins’ references are, Ex-Governor Floyd, Virginia; Caskie, Virginia; J. Plumbe; J. H. Whitehurst, Virginia; S. M. Root[6], Philadelphia; McClees & Germon, Philadelphia; Masney [sic.] & Silsbee[7], Boston; Professor Ives[8], Boston; Dr. Cleveland, Charleston; Whiteford Smith, Charleston.

Crimes And Casualties.  Stealing Daguerreotype Specimens.—Last evening, as Mr. Horsley was passing through William street, near Spruce street, he noticed a lad offering for sale some daguerreotype specimens, which he recognized as those of Mr. Lawrence, of 152 Bowery; whereupon, after questioning him a little, Mr. H. returned to see Mr. L. who had not missed the specimens, but went back with Mr. H. to see them.  In the meanwhile, the boy had stopped.  However in the course of the evening he was arrested in some rear buildings in William st. and taken to the 2d ward station house for safe keeping.  Should any person have bought any articles of the kind lately, they ought to report to the Police for two reasons, one to save themselves from trouble, and the other to convict the thief.
