with mail. On his head he wears a bassinet with a princely
!oronet, surmounted by a dragon's crest. The figure of the
Prince is finely proportioned and elegant in attitude. An
~Pression of joyful surprise is given to his features as he
tts, 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 fur a race-
course.

The second group is conceived in 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 and 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 striktigly charac-
teristic, and his seat on the horse has ber.,,i " pronounced by
competent judges to be perfect. The ;force itself is one of the
most beautiful specimens of mo‘leiting which Mr. Cotterill
9,43 yet produced. This though not so striking as the
first-mentioned, is fug; of beauty, and evinces a consummate
4,:ewledge of the principles of composition.

COLLEGE OF CIVIL ENGINEERS.

Ce the annual distribution of prizes to the pupils of this
retney.
ege• took place yesterday, at the institution, at
llis 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
"dding, examining with much attention the engineer-
, and foundry departments, attended by the Hon. E.
• Howard and the Rev. J. R. Page. the resident chap-
lain of the institution. His Royal Highness evidently
took very great interest in the various pieces of work-
emanship executed by the pupils, and expressed himself
,
""gBIY satisfied with the exhibitions of their skill.
On entering the dining-room of the college, where the
Pupils and company were assembled, his Royal High-

air• In compliance with his Royal Highness's com-
t4rinds, the Hon. Gentleman assumed the office.
110 The Rev. Mr. PAGE said the report was too volumi-
4, us to be read. He felt extremely happy in having so
loourable a report to give. He was happy to say that
he never had witnessed so much labour so well
Itd so cheerfully performed as the pupils bad
performed during the last year. As to the con-
'Wet of the young men, all the dificrent professors
Were full of praise. Instead of having received, as
might have been expected, complaints from the inhabit-
"ts of Putney, he had received nothing but compliments
titPeuo the extremely good behaviour of the pupils. The
verend Gentleman then stated that he had received
letters from the Earl of Ripon, Lord Fitzroy Somerset,
6d others, in which they lamented they would not be
ale to attend at the distribution of the prizes ; and
\etluugst them he had also received one from Captain
i()?rsona, who had received three young men from the
iasn titution, in whiich he states that they were now learn-

trer the distribution of the prizes,
eIiZT Royal Highness the Duko of CAMBRIDGE said
eatislir was extremely glad to hear so gratifying and
vro ctory an account of the pupils, not only of the
cepgresB they had made in their studies, but of their ex-
the,Plt behaviour. He begged of them to continue in
kivir good course, for they would find good behaviour as
antageous and necessary in civil engineering as in
itOther walk of life.
1.,7. he Hon. E. P. How Ann said it was his most. grati-
fying task to dismiss them for the vacation, during which
perfect health
they would be extremely, happy, and enjoy in

Would ret t the College with new vigour, to resume
their 1•11'n ° „ses studies. He then mentioned that two of the Pro-
'.
esors would leave, but he hoped that their appoint-
nts would be filled up in such manner as only to in-
crease the advantages of the institution.
