THE DAGUERREOTYPE. - We strongly recommend our readers to pay a visit to the studio of Mr. Kilburn, in Little Collins-street, in order to witness the wonder working powers of his daguerreotype. Acting ou the instructions received from his brother, the most distinguished photographic artist of the day, Mr. Kilburn has carried the art to a perfection hitherto unknown here - the likenesses he produces being sparkingly true, and quite devoid of that dull leaden aspect which seemed formerly to be inseparable from likenesses obtained by this process.
