Portrait of H. R. H. _Victoria, Princess Roya
Princess Frederick Wil:iam of Prussia. En-
graved by S. oJusina, R.A., from a picture
by the Chevalier F. Winterhalter. London :
P. and D. Coluaghi and Co.
An exquisite souvenir of the young Princess
who has just left her royal home iu England is
here provided by the Messrs. Paul and Dominic
Colnaghi for the loyal subjects of our beloved and
gracious Sovereign. As a work of art the lovely
print before us may be designated, without exagge-
ration, a perfect masterpiece. While it is the
most recent, it is also one of the most admirable
specimens of the skill and genius of Mr. Samuel
Cousins, incomparably one of the greatest en-
gravers England has ever possessed—one who by
reason of his skill and genius was not very long
ago enrolled among the restricted number of our
Royal Academicians. The inimitable touch of the
master hand of Mr. Cousins is everywhere appa-
rent in this charming portraiture of H. R. H.
Victoria, Princess Royal of Great Britain
and Ireland, now the Princess Frederick
William of Prussia, the Rose of England,
Albion's eldest daughter. The engraving
is an adroit and delicate mixture of
line and stipple. It is a faithful transcript from
the brilliant original taken in obedience to the
command of her Majesty by the great Court
Painter, the Chevalier F. Winterhalter. The
portrait is in every respect worthy of au artist
who is, to the age of Queen Victoria, what Rey-
nolds and Lawrence were to the times of the third
and fourth Georges, or what Vandyke and Lely
were to those of the first and second Charleses.
Winterhalter's truthful painting, as here ref ro-
duced by the faithful graver of Cousins, will be
surely welcomed by every one who has an eye of
admiration for a really sweet and bewitching
countenance.

ehotograph of the Bridesmaids. By Signori
Caldesi and Monteechi. London : P. and D.
CAnaghi and Co.

A companion memorial of the late magnificent
marriage ceremonial. It represents with all the
accuracy and delicacy of a photograph manipulated
by adepts in that refined art no less cunning than
the Signori Caldesi and Montecchi—the lovely
group of the eight patrician bridesmaids selected
for the train of the Princess Royal on the
memorable day when she entered the Chapel
Royal to meet her Prussian Bridegroom. Here
are kneeling together, themselves like Brides
Elect—the Lady Cecilia Lennox, the Lady Susan
Clinton, the Lady Katharine Hamilton, the Lady
Emma Stanley, the Lady Constance Villiers, the
Lady Susan Murray, the Lady Victoria Noel, and
the Lady Cecilia Molyneux —a cluster of bloom-
ing maidens, radiant rather by reason of their
youth and their beauty than through the splen-
dour of their bridal costumes—their gossamer lace,
and superb jewels, and flowers in profusion.

S. M. rlmperatrice des FrancAis entouree des
Dames do sa Cour. Lithographic par Leon
Noel : Peint par F. Winterhalter. Paris :
Goupil and Co. London :P. and D. Colnaghi
and Co.

A resplendent picture, less like the representa-
tion of a reality than like the realisation of the
day-dream of a poet—a vignette for the Decame-
ron of Boccaccio. Nevertheless it is in simple
truth nothing more ideal than a collection of
literal portraits—limned by the courtly brush of
the Chevalier Winterhaltor. The engraving taken
from the original painting by Leon Noel, is some-
thing wonderful as an example of lithography.
It has nearly all the brilliancy of a line engraving,
with the softness and the subtle grace of a mezzo-
tinto. It represents the " fairest of the fair"—
her Imperial Majesty the lovely Eugenie, Empress
of the French—the mother of the Child of
Fiance. Her Imperial Majesty is here pourtrayed
surrounded by some of the most famous beauties
of her magnificent Court—among whom may be
recognised the Princesse d'Essling, the Duchosse
de Bassano, the Baronne de Malaret, the Mar-
quise de la Tour-Moubray, the Marquise de la
Mirasmas, the Baronne de Pierres, the Marquise
de Lezay-Maruezia, and the Duchesse de Monte-
bello. The beautiful .Eospress Eugenie and her
lovely ladies are grouped together in a green
pleasaunce among flowering shrubs and umbrageous
trees—a luxuriant mixture of blossoms and ver-
durous foliage—fit scene for so radiant and be-
witching a spectacle.

*** It should be remarked that the original
paintings, both of H. R. H. the Princess Royal
and of H.I. M. the Empress of the French, aro
now, by permission of the two Courts, on view
simultaneously at 121, Pall-mall, in the same
Gallery.

DEATH OP BENJAMIN TRA VERS, ESQ., F.R.S.

This distinguished surgeon expired at his resi-
dence in Green-street, Grosvenor-square, on the
6th inst., aged 76. Mr. Travers was surgeon in
ordinary to his Royal Highness the Prince
Consort, and only a few weeks since we announced
that he bad been made serjeant-surgeon to her
Majesty, an appointment which carried with it the
cordial assent of the profession, whose highest
honours he had more than once received in his
election to the presidency of the Royal College of
Surgeons in England. Mr. Travers was the son of
a wealthy sugar baker in Queen-street, Cheapside, a
man of political importance in the City, and who had
destined the subjeot of this notice to succeed him in
the counting-house, but the youth exhibited so much
dislike to commercial pursuits that his father
articled him to Sir Astloy Cooper for the term of
six years, during which time he enjoyed the advan-
tage of witnessing the exercise of that gentleman's
admirable talents as a hospital surgeon and teacher.
Under his preceptor's auspices he established a
clinical society among the pupils, to which lie
acted as secretary. On the 17th of October, 1806,
he passed his examination at the College of Sur-
geons, immediately after which he repaired to
Edinburgh, where he made the acquaintance of
some of the most distinguished sayans. After a pe-
destrian tour of the Scotch aad English
lakes he settled in London, having married
the daughter of W. Morgan, Esq., the
founder of the Equitable Life Assurance Com-
pany. He was shortly afterwards appointed
demonstrator of anatomy, at Guy's Hospital, and
in 1810 Mr. Travers was surgeon to the Opthalmic
Hospital. In 1813 he was elected a Fellow of the
Royal Society, and in 1815 one of the surgeons to
St. Thomas's Hospital. In 1827 he was chosen Pre-
sident of the Huuterian, and in 1828 President of
the Medico-Chirurgical Societies. In 1833 ho was
elected a member of the Council of the College of
Surgeons, and of the Court of Examiners of the
Veterinary College. In July, 1847, ho was raised
to the dignity of President of the Royal College of
Surgeons, an office which he again filled in
1856-57. In 1813 Mr. Travers married, as his
second wife, the eldest daughter of G. Millet,
Esq., one of the directors of the East India Com-
pany. This lady dying, he married, for the third
time, in 1831, the youngest daughter of Colonel
Stevens. The deceased had contributed largely to
the advancement of medical and chirurgical know-
ledge by the publication of works of great merit,
for which he had been rewarded with diplomas from
learned and scientific universities in Europe. In
speaking of Mr. Travers, the Lancet remarks,
" that he was never celebrated as a rapid, dashing,
or showy operator ; frequently, however, Ins opera-
tive dexterity was most admirable, and he had often,
in the operating theatre, received the public com-
naendetion of his great master and colleague, Sir
Astley Cooper. One thing respecting his operative
career all have allowed—namely, the remarkable
safety that has followed his knife, which is cer-
tainly one of the tests, and not the meanest test, of
sound and genuine surgery." Mr. Travers has left
a large number of relatives and friends to mourn
the loss of one of the most accomplished and perfect
gentlemen in the profession.

According to the advicea from Vienna no doubt is
entertained that the National Bank, which has sus-
pended specie payments ever sinc,J the Hungarian war,
will be in a position to resume at the end of the pr2sent
year. Its stock of bullion hay increased to 10,000,0001.,
and is expected steadily to augment.
In the Journal de Frankfort it is stated that the last
loon of 5,000,000 mares banco to Hamburg by the
Austrian Government has just been liquidated; 5,000,000
of the first loan will be repaid in the course of Jane and
the remaining 5,000,000 in September.

quested to announce that the Birmingham Triennial
