strated by George Jones, Esq., R.A., who is believed to
have superintended the whole publication. I append the extract:--

"Upon the cavalry being repulsed, the Duke himself ordered our second
battalion to form line with the third battalion, and, after advancing
to the brow of the hill, to lie down and shelter ourselves from the
fire. Here we remained, I imagine, near an hour. It was now about seven
o'clock. The French infantry had in vain been brought against our line
and, as a last resource, Buonaparte resolved upon attacking our part of
the position with his veteran Imperial Guard, promising them the
plunder of Brussels. Their artillery and they advanced in solid column
to where we lay. The Duke, who was riding behind us, watched their
approach; and at length, when within a hundred yards of us, exclaimed
'Up, guards, and at them again!' Never was there a prouder moment than
this for our country or ourselves," &c.--Second Letter of Capt. Batty,
Grenadier Guards, dated June 22, 1815, from the village of Gommignies;
his First Letter being dated Bavay, June 21, 1815.

This circumstantial account, written so few days after the battle,
detailing affirmatively the command to the guards as heard by one of
themselves, will probably countervail the negative testimony of C. as
derived from the Duke's want of recollection: as well as the "Goodly
Botherby's" of MR. CUTHBERT BEDE. As an instance of the Duke's impressions
of the battle, I may add, that he stated that there was _no smoke_, though
Mr. Jones told me, that when he was on the ground two days afterwards the
smoke was still hanging over it.

PHOTOGRAPHIC CORRESPONDENCE.

_Mr. Muller's Process._--MR. SISSON inquires for any one's experience in
the use of the above formula, and I beg to say I remember when it was
published I tried it, but gave it up. It is an excellent plan, but requires
improvement. The following were my objections:

If the objects are not well illuminated by the sun, the image is not sharp.
The skies taken are singularly the reverse of the iodide-of-potash method,
as they are almost transparent.

The solutions of iron are a constant trouble by precipitating.

It has the same disadvantages as other modes on paper from inequality in
the strength of the image. The photographic _pons asinorum_ appears however
to be got over by the process,
