with mail. On his head he wears a bassinet with a princely
coronet, surmounted by a dragon's crest. The figure of the
Prince is finely proportioned and elegant in attitude. An
expression of joyful surprise is given to his features as he
lifts, while ascending the steps, the cradle, and finds his child
uninjured. The little urchin, too, is made to recognise his
father and stretches out his arms to greet him. This group
is decidedly one of the very finest ever executed for a race-
course.

The second group is conceived i❑ fine contrast with the
foregoing. The subject is more homely, not so full of tender
interest, but, nevertheless, an attractive one. It is taken
from Sir Walter Scott's novel of" Waverley," and represents
the meeting between the Baron of Bradwardyne ard Davie
Gellatley, accompanied with his two dogs, Ban and Buscar.
The figure of the baron is detailed with the strictest adhe-
rence to Sir Walter's description ; the small French cocked
hat, the brigadier's wig, the laced coat and embroidered
waistcoat, and the jack-boots and heavy riding-whip, have
all been duly and picturesquely rendered by the sculptor.
The countenance of the old gentleman is strikingly charac-
teriStic, and his seat on the horse has been pronounced by
competent judges to be perfect. The horse itself is one of the
most beautiful specimens of modelling which Mr. Cotterill
has yet produced. This group, though not so striking as the
first-mentioned, is full of beauty, and evinces a consummate
knowledge of the principles of composition.

COLLEGE OF CIVIL ENGINEERS,

The annual distribution of prizes to the pupils of this
College took place yesterday, at the institution, at
Pestn,y.
His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, attended
by Baron Knesebeck, arrived at the College precisely at
two o'clock, and proceeded over the whole of the
building, examining with much attention the engineer-
ing and foundry departments, attended by the lion. E.
P. Howard and the Rev. J. R. Page. the resident chap-
lain of the inst:tution. His Royal Highness evidently
took very great interest in the various pieces of work-
manship executed by the pupils, and expressed himself
highly satisfied with the exhibitions of their skill.
On entering the dining-loom of the college, where the
pupils and company were assembled, his Royal High-
ness requested the Honeurable E. P. Howard to take the
chair. In compliance with his Royal Highness's com-
mands, the Hon. Gentleman assumed the office.
The Rev. Mr. PAGE said the report was too volumi-
nous to be read. He felt extremely happy in having so
favourable a report to give. He was happy to say that
he never had witnessed so much labour so 'eel'
and so cheerfully performed as the pupils had
performed during the last year. As to the con-
duct of the young men, all the different professors
were full of praise. Instead of having received, as
might have been expected, complaints from the inhabit-
ants of Putney, he had received nothing but compliments
• upon the extremely good behaviour of the pupils. The
itevelend Gentleman then stated that he had received
letters from the Earl of Ripon, Lord Fitzroy Somerset,
and others, in which they lamented they would not be
able to attend at the distribution of the prizes ; and
amongst them he had also received one from Captain
Meorsoin, who had received three young men from the
institution, in which he states that they were now learn-
ing to apply that science practically which they had pre-
viously learnt in theory.
The young men were then called up to receive their
prizes, which were distributed in the following order :

alents, Mr. Ibbetson. Principal's Prize for good con-

After the distribution of the prizes,
nis Royal Highness the Duke of CAMBRIDGE said
that Lie was extremely glad to hear so gratifying and
satisfactory an account of the pupils, not only of the
Progress ts:ey had made in their studies, but of their ex-
cellent behaN sour. He begged of them to continue in
their good course, for they would find good behaviour as
advantageous and necessary in civil engineering as in
any other walk of life.
The Hon. E. P. HOWARD said it was his most grati-
fying,_ task to dismiss them for the vacation, during which
Ile hoped they would be extremely happy, and enjoy in
perfect health the leisure they had so well earned, and
would return to the College with new vigour, to resume
their studies. He then mentioned that two of the Pro-
fessors would leave, but he hoped that their appoint-
tnents would be filled up in such manner as only to in-
crease the advantages of the institution.
