PHOTOGRAPHIC PORTRAITS TAKEN BY THE REFLECTION OF LIGHT, AT THE MOUNT GARDENS, ST. JAMES'S WLK, TLIVERPOOL. HE Proprietors of the REFLECTING APPARATUS, .A. by which FAITHFUL MINIATURE LIKENESSES of the Human Countenance and Person are " wen from the hand of Nature" in the short space of a few seconds, respect fully announce to the Nobility, Gentry, and lnhAitants of Lancashire, that the Extraordinary Process IS NOW OPEN. The Corporation of Liverpool having . ranted the site of the late OB SERVATORY, S T. JAMES'S WALK, a neat and elegant Building has been erected thereon, in which the PHOTOGRAPHIC APPARATUS, the discovery of whist] is ranked among the greatest scientific achievements of the present age, is now in DAILY OPERATION. THE PRICE FOR EACH PORTRAIT, INCLUDING A FRAME, IS ONE GUINEA. JOHN RELPH, Manager. Specimens may be seen, and Orders rece;ve.d. at Mr. LA. CEY'S REPOUTORY OF ARTS, 100, Bold-sleet. The Invention was recently introduced into England, at the ROYAL POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTION, LONDON ; and the following are a few extracts from the leading Journals relating to its merits : (From the Morning Chronicle.) When we formerly described this process, the time requi site for taking a portrait was, generally speaking, about four minutes ; but in consequence of the great improvements that have been made, the time has been reduced to about five se conds on a clear day ; but during cloudy dull weather the operation may require from a minute and ahalf to two minutes. The portraits taken by this means are really extraordinary as likenesses ; they are true to nature, for nature here is her own delineator. The features are admirably marked out and delineated, and the likenesses at first sight are so extraordi nary, that they are really startling. (From the Morning Advertiser.) PHOTOGRAPHIC LIKENESSES.—One of the most inter esting sights it is possible to conceive is now attracting crowds daily to the Polytechnic Institution, Regent-street. The patentee has christened it the " photographic mode of taking likenesses." By this process, in the incredibly short space of five seconds, the likeness of any individual is taken down on a piece of metal, and the portrait is a perfect fac simile of the sitter. It is nature herself that is called in to be the artist, and her performance is truly astonishing, leaving immeasurably behind it everything that human skill could effect. (Prom the Times.) THE PHOTOGRAPHIC MINIATURES. —The principle has been so far perfected as to be almost incapable of further improvement. The novelty attendant upon the fact of being furnished in the short space of five seconds with a more correct miniature likeness than the most accom plished artist could paint on ivory, after days of laborious study, coupled with the fineness of the weather, drew together a host of curious fashionables, at the Poly. tecnnic Institution, so many, indeed, that notwithstanding the short period of time occupied in the operation, the roora was crowded for hours together, by parties anxiously waiting their turn. The apartment appropriated for the magical process—for so it may be termed—is well calculated for the object desired, being on the highest story of the institution. From the roof, which is constructed of blue glass, of about a enarter of an inch thick, a very powerful light is obtained, and it is so ingeniously contrived as to revolve with the sun. In a portion of the room, nearly in the centre, an elevated seat is placed, on which the party whose likeness is to be taken sits, with his head reclined backwards. In this posi tion the sitter is told to look into a glass box, in an opposite direction, about five from him, in which is placed the plate to be impressed with the portrait. Having done so for a few seconds, he descends, and in a few minutes afterwards a likeness is presented to him. The likenesses which we saw were admirable, and closely true to nature, beauties and de formities being alike exhibited ; therefore those who are ashamed of their personal appearance had better keep from the influence of photography. (From the Morning Herald.) PHOTOGRAPHIC PORTRAITS.—We were present on Sa turday at the exhibition of the extraordinary process of taking portraits by the reflecting apparatus, lately patented, and now for the first time brought before the public. By the photographic progress, perfect likenesses are taken. in the short space of from ten to five and twenty seconds! We say perfect, because the prepared plate on which the objects is reflected must of necessity produce a perfect transcript of that object. The operation, therefore, being thus unerring, the fault of even the slightest failure in likeness can only be attributable to the person sitting, which, of course, may result from an assumed or unnatural position. Although the exhibition has been only of a private character, and of some two or three days, we understand that it has 'eeen visited by all the parties possessing the privilege. Among other influential personages present on Saturdcy, we noticed the Earl of Shaftesbury, who expressed his surprise and gratification at the extraordinary invention. (From the Morning Post.) The patentee of this invention has adopted the principle of giving these " reflections" to the public at a very moderate cost, compared to the ordinary price of miniatures, trusting for his return to a general desire to possess them, which he anticipates must be felt by all persons who would cherish the best memento of a dear friend or relative. (From the Courier.) " Every line, every touch in the pictrue produced is from the pencil of nature, without flattery or fallacy." (From Bell's W Messenger.) EXTRAORDINARY FACT.—MI eekly NIATU RE PICTURES.—it is bodily and personally the individual who is the sitter. It is as much so, as he secs himself in the most accurate looking glass, but with this difference, that the Photographic likeness is the image as if it were removed from the surface of the mirror, and rendered perpetual. It is an everlasting memo rial of the man at the moment it is taken —and tnerefore the most precious gift that can be given to those who love hiT while living, and will cherish his memory when dead. Iris t a discovery, which no t on l y saves the sitter from the te d i um of being fixed in the same position for many an hourfTmn!..s likenes, (or this is accomplished in the sixth p a rt o nute)—but f it affords t o artists themselves the s urest . I °F for copying other lik enesses, w h et h er i n miniatur e , in 111 C 4 paintings as large as life.

(Front the Naval and Military Gazette.) PHOTOGRA PHIC PORTRAITS.—For some time it WIIS dopubted whether Ph otography could ever be brought to oerate satisfactorily on the human face and form, so as to enable the artist to take an unerring and effective likeness, the slightest motion inevitably destroying the pictare in its Progrees. Ingenuity, perseverance, and repeated experiments, have at length completely triumphed ever the difficulty ; and miniature portraits, infallibly faithful, are now taken, from a sittting of from flre to twenty seconds ; the time varying aeoording to the intensity of light. (From the Court Journal.) PHOTOGRAPHIC LIKENESSES.—We attended yesterday at the private view given by the patentee of the reflecting ap paratus at the Polytechnic Institution, by which photographic likenesses are taken, and with the greatest accuracy, in Period varying from five to twenty eeetards.
