*** We are particularly desirous of directing attention
to the fact, that the beautiful portraiture of ILR.H, the
Prince of 'Wales, adorning our first page, was sketched by
Bar. Thomas Scott from a masterly photograph taken by
Messrs. John and Charles Watkins, of Parliament-street,
Westminster.

GROSTENOS Ittnixel ScriooL.—lnexperienced equee-
trians will derive great advantage from a visit to this well-
appointed establielament,in South-street, recently re-opened
under entirely new management. The stud is a capital and
extensive one, the practising area is spacious, and, above
all, there is the facility, immediately after taking lessons,
of riding directly from the school into the park. The
quietude of the situation and the subdued light prevailing
in the building impart the necessary confidence to timid or
nervous pupils, and the spot is peculiarly exempt from the
chance of external interruptions. That the arrangements
would be of n description calculated to ensure comfort and
improvement was to be expected from the reputation of the
proprietors, Mr. Mauiigy, of Maurigy's Hotel, and Mr
Henderson, the well-known connoisseur and "consulting
counsel" in matters relating to the qualities and capabili-
ties of horseflesh. This expectation will be found realised,
and one of the results is that the place is resorted to by
members of the highest circles in society, who bring their
families with them, and from the gallery have an opportu-
nity of witnessing their progress in equitation. To the
fair sex it may be interesting to know that Mrs. Hender-
son is one of the most accomplished of our lady equestrians;
and the managers have adopted the judicious plan ofappro-
priating the mid-day hours—from eleven to tour o'clock—
to
the visits of ladies, gentlemen not being admitted during
these hours, but in the early morning and again in the
afternoon. A stud of beautiful ponies is attached to the
eatt4bliehatent.
