collodion, and then plunged into a very dilute bath of sulphuric and hydrochloric acid; after immersion for several minutes the plate was placed in pure water, when the pellicle with the image became detached, and was transferred to a solution of sugar. Under the film was placed the material which was to be heated, in such a manner that the enamelspowder was under most, and the whole was then drained and thoroughly dried ; subsequently it was placed in a sulphuric acid bath, to destroy the collodion, and, after a few minutes, withdrawn, washed, and again dried. After the image had been somewhat touched up, it was put upon a piece of baked clay, placed to warm for a few moments before the muffled furnace, and afterwards introduced therein when the latter was at a red-heat. In a minute or two the enamel became brilliant, and was then withdrawn and allowed to cool gradually. M. GEYNER likewise read a paper describing the process, and pointing out the difficulties and liabilities of failure ; he also alluded to several modifications which might bo made in the method. The production of photographs, either upon enamel, porcelain, or glass, could be undertaken without the aid of any special appliances with the exception of an enamel-furnace, which might always find place in a corner of the studio. The proceedings then terminated. o - . Corresponbence, LUX GRAPHICUS ON THE WING. The REFUNDING or the Balance of the GODDARD Fund— The Photographer’s Provident Society—A Ferocious Doorsman—The South London Dinner—A Christmas Carol. My Dear Sir,—Now that the balance of the Goddard Fund is returned to the contributors, and all the trials and vexations the administration ot the fund brought upon the chief promoters are known, I think the very best thanks of the whole body of subscribers to that fund are due to the committee for their firm and sensible determination to pro vide for the wants of the poor imbecile recipient in the manner they did, and for their withstanding the attempt made by a person who was not in the least related to the late Mr. Goddard to obtain possession of the balance in hand. I, for one, a subscriber to the fund, return them my most hearty acknowledgements, not for the money returned to me, but for the straightforwardness of their report, and the wise and judicious manner in which they dispensed the funds. While congratulating myself and confreres on seeing the money not required for the relief of the late Mr. Goddard returned to the subscribers instead of going into tho possession of a person for whom it never was intended, I think it is to be regretted that no responsibls party had foreseen that much of this returned money would have been gladly placed to the credit of some benevolent or provident institution connected with photography, The whole amount, or even the half of it, would have made a very handsome nucleus for the commencement of such a fund. I have heard several wishes to that effect expressed during the last few days. Donbtless the committee did the very best thing they could have done for their own credit and the entire satisfaction of the whole of the subscribers ; but I am afraid an opportunity has been lost in the interest of the incipient relief fund by not having had a receiver for these stray and unexpected sums appointed. The praiseworthy act of Messrs. Ross and Pingle, as noticed in another journal, con firms this impression. While the subject of a photographer's provident or relief fund is before me, I may mention that in the Report of the Friendly Societies recently issued by Mr. Tidd Pratt, he speaks in the highest terms of those societies which are managed by the members themselves without salaries, and condemns the extravagance exhibited by the societies of a similar nature which are conducted by salaried officials. Now, as it is a friendly society pure and simple that sick or needy photographers ought to look to for future help, in my opinion the former is the kind of society that should be established. The movement is not to be started as a business speculation, and there should be no salaries attached to any of the offices. Each member joining the provident society should be prepared to submit to the tax on his time and energies, if elected to office, as part and parcel of the amount he subscribes for the general welfare of the body and relief of individual members. For my part, I object to the contemplated society taking the form of a relief fund depending upon donations, collections at dinners, &c., for its support. Such means for raising the necessary funds to start the society may be allowable ; but, after it is commenced, every individual connected with it should be a subscribing member, and not allowed to receive any benefit, except under the most urgent necessities, until he has paid a certain number of subscriptions. During one of my peregrinations about town lately I stumbled upon a very ferocious doorsman. My attention was suddenly arrested, while passing one of those photographic establishments which keep a kind of two-legged hyena prowl ing up and down before their doors, by hearing the somewhat startling and cannibalistic exclamation of “ I’ll eat yer 1” Looking round, I saw that one of those prowling bipeds had fastened upon two quiet-looking young gentlemen, evidently strangers in town and to town ways, and had so importuned them to sit for “ a correct likeness,” until they turned upon him, and threatened to give him in charge if he did not desist; when he retaliated by threatening to eat them, and used a great deal of sanguinary and abusive language as a substitute for more palatable suavity. Is such an “out sider ” or hanger-on a fit and proper person to join a photo graphers’ provident society, or be the recipient of a benevo lent relief fund ? The South London Photographic Society’s annual dinner came off on Saturday evening last at the “ Salutation Tavern,” Newgate Street. Twenty-three members and friends, all told, sat down to dinner, and enjoyed a tho roughly English repast. After the cloth was removed, the pleasantest part of the evening commenced. The worthy and honoured president, who occupied the chair, was all geniality, and gave the toast of the evening—“ The South London Photographic Society ”—in his usually felicitous style. To Mr. Jabez Hughes was allotted the task of pro posing the next important toast—“ Photography’’—which he did in the most glowing and eloquent terms, dwelling on the rise and progress of the art in England, its position in a competitive point of view at the Paris Exhibition, interspersed with some racy and facetious remarks on the different modes and kinds of rewards, from the bronze, silver, and gold medals, to the paper certificates, which he considerered the most honourable mentions that could be given by a discerning public. From that he soared into the higher aspirations of photographers and sublime regions of photography, giving, with thrilling effect, a description of the social joys, scientific pursuits, and human ameliorations to which photography administers. Mr. Baynham Jones, being the oldest photographer present, had the honour of replying on behalf of the art. Mr. G. Wharton Simpson, in very appropriate terms, gave the toast, “ Art Photography,” which was responded to by Mr. 0. G. Rejlander. Mr. John son, of the Autotype Company, had the honour of proposing the toast “ Professional Photography,” which was responded to by Mr. Valentine Blanchard, who occupied the vice-chair. Other toasts of a professional and semi-professional charac ter were given and responded to. The intervals were filled up with part and instrumental music by members of the Society. Mr. Cooper contributed greatly to the evening’s enjoyment by giving two charming performances on the cornet-a-piston, which were admirably accompanied by Mr. Henry Cooper on the piano. Taking it all in all, it was one of the pleasantest and merriest evenings I have ever enjoyed at the convivial meetings of the South London Photographic Society, and formed a delightful introduction to the season of universal festivity which is close at hand.
