Owing the highest distinction an exhibitor can desire to a most honourable and brotherly feeling of my fellow labourers and competitors, 1 have accepted it with pride and gratitude, and I assure you the remembrance of it will be for me an everlasting source of gratification.—I am, dear sir, yours very truly, A.

Our remarks were written under a conviction, based upon what we believe are good grounds, that the Commissioners had given but little heed to the nominations of exhibitors.—En.] tors, I might have felt some delicacy in accepting the office; but I could not hesitate one moment in considering that the anticipation of the busy sight that would soon meet my eye, that I had made m 1 Correspondence. PHOTOGRAPHIC DEPARTMENT OF THE INTER NATIONAL EXHIBITION. Bear Sir,—You arc doubtless familiar with the final arrangements made by the Commissioners for British photo graphy, and may possibly have visited the camera obscura devoted to its reception, but as I have just returned from my first visit, and as my blood in consequence is at very little little below 212° Fah., I have dared to pour the boiling thoughts that burst their channels, into print: that is if you will insert them. I had heard of the conciliatory spirit of the Commissioners, ami that in spite of the misunderstanding between them and the photographic body, they were desirous of doing all honour to photography, that though its claims to rank as a line art had not been legally indorsed, it should have a fair Held, with every opportunity to distinguish itself; that it should have a room to itself, without the portals of the fine Arts, it is true, but not beyond their benign influence. With “contented mind therefore, and a feeling of self congratula- tion that I had been one of the fortunate ones chosen, from the many unchosen, I attached the official printed label to my package, and mounted it and myself on the roof of an omnibus, bound for the Exhibition. So full was I of eager PHOTOGRAPHIC JURORS IN THE EXHIBITION. Sir,—In your last number after having alluded to my appointment asajuior of class 14, in terms which cannot but be most gratifying to me, you have expressed some doubts as to the fitness of a professional photographer for the office, because other professional photographers may naturally feel that they would rather not have been judged by one with whom they are in business competition. I am happy to be able to dispel your fears. My fellow photographers have already proved what is their feeling on this question, for they have themselves demanded that I should be one of their jurors. The special Commissioner for the department of jurors in the International Exhibition of 1862, in apprising me of my appointment, stated in his letter that it was in consequence of my having been recom mended by a considerable number of exhibitors, to be juror neighbour on the roof suggested that the big label in front el me announcing me as class 14, addressed to Her Majesty’s Commissioners, wanted “ this side up, with care,” to make it complete. On arriving at door C, a policeman barred further progress until I had wasted full five minutes in con vincing him of what he knew already, that I had a right to enter. After smearing the package with some mysterious hie roglyphics in paint, a porter who wore an official bandage on his arm, seized the package, and badc me follow him. On we trudged down a long corridor, through the opening of wh ich a constant whirr, hum, and bustle streamed in, vaguely indicating what an immense beehive it was. We had now reached the centre part of the building, but had no time to take in any mg but the most confused impressions, for I was following the nimble-footed porter rapidly up a broad stair case, which brought us to the entrance of the fine-art galleries. Through an open door I saw grand old pictures, hung in a magnificent gallery, and lit by a mellow subdued light, which came from above. I felt that if photography had found a home anywhere adjacent to these galleries, it had at length recieved full and complete justice. These thoughts, however, were the very vanity of vanities, for the porter was already half way up a narrower and meaner staircase, the walls of which are brick, washed with red colouring, and I reluctantly followed. A landing is reached, and then another flight; now another landing and another flight, and still another, and we arc in the Photographic Depart ment. Here I paused to take breath, and gulp down the bitter disappointment which was almost choking me. Truly the Commissioners, if they have proven themselves anything but men of business, as the many cases of mismanagement, and something worse, which have come to light, go to show, have, at any rate, shown themselves good hands at a practical joke. This last joke, at the expense of poor photography, is worthy a place in Punch. Their acts say plainly enough this new-fangled would-be art, that is scarcely out of swad dling clothes*and yet has the presumption to try and swell itself out into the majestic proportions of the arts, old as the Parthenon or the Capitol, like the frog in the fable, truly it shall receive a lesson not easily forgotten. Photography would be a fine art, indeed! Its desire for elevation shall be fulfilled, for it shall be the highest art in the building, an art so high, that those who would behold its productions shall take a lesson in gymnastics before they can do so. Unfortunately, poor education bears the biggest half of the burden of this joke, for it occupies the largest portion of the room. It appears the Commissioners think that, as the object of education is to elevate, therefore the instru ments employed should be placed so high as to be beyond the gaze of nine-tenths of the people who will visit the build ing. Truly there is no royal road to knowledge and pho tography, the path is a steep and uninteresting one of 72 Mr. Seely thought such a collodion would be admirably suited for instantaneous pictures in the magic lantern. Mr. Shadbolt thought it a question of manipulation, as struc ture could be avoided with care. The two causes of failure was water in the ether or alcohol. Absolute alcohol was very greedy of water, and would drink it from the atmosphere. The great remedy was to keep the plate a long time out of the bath. The Chairman still thought the structure depended more upon the cotton. No further discussion ensuing upon the paper, a vote of thanks was proposed to Mr. Bockett. The Chairman announced that three photographs were pre sented to the society’s portfolio by Mr. Moens. The subjects were : “ The Aqueduct at Carthage,” “ The Caves at Balaclava,” and “Whippingham Church.” Mr. Bockett announced, in answer to the Chairman, that his micrographic results were quite at the service of the meeting. Mr. SHADBOLT called the attention of the meeting to aplioto- graph by Mr. Edwards, said to be 10 by 8, but which was im perfectly covered at the top edges. By the segment at the top he was enabled to get at the diameter, which he found to be 11 inches. He had no desire to run down lenses, but ho did desire to establish facts. The Chairman : What is the square ? Mr. Shadbolt : Barely 9 by GJ. .Some discussion followed relative to the determining the size of different oblongs to bo obtained out of a given circle. Mr. Shadbolt handed round for inspection two beautiful cartes de visits pictures by Robinson, of Leamington, as illustra tions of what can be produced by the introduction of artistic arangements into photographic portraiture. There being no other business before the members, the meet- ing terminated.
