apartment appropriated for the magical
ar so it may be termed—is well calculated for the
t desired, being on the highest story of the institution.
m the roof, which is constructed of blue glass, of about
a quarter 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-
fortuities being alike exhibited ; therefore those who are
ashamed of their personal appearance had better keep from
the influence of photography.

(From the Morning Chronicle.)
formerly described this process, the time requi-
ite for taking a portrait was, generally speaking, about four

yen made, the time has been reduced to about five se-
n a clear day ; but during cloudy dull weather the

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 perfeet 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.

(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
been visited by all the parties possessing the privilege.
Among other influential personages present on Saturday, we
noticed the Earl of Shaftesbury, who expressed his surprise
and gratification at the extraordinary invention.

(Prom 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 a
period varying from five to twenty seconds. We were de-
lighhted with the exhibition.
(From the Morning Post.)
The patentee of this invention has adopted the principle of
" 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 the Weekly Dispatch.)
PHOTOGRAPHIC PORTRAITS.—We took an opportunity
on Monday cf again visiting the Polytechnic Institution, to
witness the astonishing manner in which portraits are taken
by the photographic process. The room was crowded with
nobility and gentry, among whom we noticed Lord Aber-
deen, and several other persons of rank, each of whom, in
the warmest terms, expressed their delight and astonishment
at the rapidity with which the portraits of different gentle-
men were taken, and the extreme fidelity in the execution.
It is, in fact, impossible for the portraits to be any thing
short of a complete copy of nature.
(From the Obserrer.)
PHOTOGRAPHIC PORTRAITS.--The appearance of the
miniature thus produced is that of a mezzotint engraving,
the likeness being no question of opinion, but a plain matter
of fact, for nature in this, as in other similar operations,
is "no mistake." There is such subtilty of touch and
in the likeness as might fill a Vandyke or a Lawrence
once with delight and despair. Altogether this is a most
wonderful and extraordinary exhibition. Those who in por-
traiture are fond of being " flattered," will certainly not
patronise the photographic method of taking likenesses • but,
on the other hand, they who want the real thing, and we
presume them to be the majority, will unquestionably spend
a guinea with great willingness in the production of a minia-
ture portrait which their fathers and mothers, wives, sisters,
and brothers may " swear to." Separate
rooms are also
appropriated to ladies and gentlemen, and a female attendant
waits upon the former to assist in arranging the dress so as
to produce the most desirable pictorial effect.
(Prom the Naval and Military Gazette.)
PHOTOGRAPHIC PORTRAITS.—For some time it was
doubted whether Photography could ever be brought to
operate 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 picture in its
progrees. Ingenuity, perseverance, and repeated experiments,
have at length completely triumphed over the difficulty ; and
miniature portraits, infallibly faithful, are now taken, from a
sittting of from
,five to twenty seconds ; the time varying
according to the intensity of light.

EXTRAORDINARY FACT.—MINIATURE PICTURES.—It
bodily and personally the individual who is the sitter. It is
as much so, as he sees 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 therefore the
most precious gift that can be given to those who love him
while living, and will cherish his memory when dead. It is
a discovery, which not only saves the sitter from the tedium
of being fixed in the same position for many an hour for his
likeness, (fur this is accomplished in the sixth part of a mi-
nute)—but it afibrds to artists themselves the surest guide
for copying other likenesses, whether in miniature, or in oil
paintings as large as life.

We have reason to believe that the statements lately made
relative to six ships of the line proceeding from Toulon to
Brest for the purpose of being disarmed, is incorrect, and
that those six vessels are to form a squadron of observation,
which the French Government purposes to employ on the
coasts of Spain.—Morning Herald of yesterday.
TIGER SHOOTING BY MOONLIGHT IN BENGAL.—It
happened that we lay off Saugor, a short time since, an island
contiguous to the Sunderbunds, which has for many years past
been noted for tigers, which harbour amid its thick and al-
most impenetrable jungles, and for want of more interesting
occupation three of us made up our minds to make a short
excursion into the forest one evening to a large disused tank
or jeel, which we had been informed only the day before was
used at night by the wild beasts, which were accustomed to
come down thither and slake their thirst, and that the foot-
mar •s of tigers, as also those of rhinoceroses, were apparent
in fre several defiles leading to the same. The moon shone
exceedingly bright, and, having furnished ourselves with a
case of cigars and a bottle of " brandy panee," we left the
schooner at eight o'clock, attended by a serang and four
Lascars armed with cutlasses, and bearing in their hands two
mussals, ourselves equipped with three two-ounce ball tiger
rifles. In this manner we made our way for the jeel, which
lay about 250 yards off from the shore. On arriving at the ,
spot we ascended a large bubbool tree, which stood so as to
give us the opportunity of observing accurately any animal
that might approach the water, between us and the moon,
and were quite near enough to it, being about 40 yards off, to
depend upon our rifles taking the desired effect if we dis-
charged them successfully. When we had seated ourselves
comfortably, we gave orders to the Lascars to quench the
torches, and to maintain strict silence, at the same time to
keep a keen 100k-out, and apprise us if they perceived an
beast upon the move, for the eye of a native by night is quicker far than that
of a European. More than an hour
passed away without our hearing any noise, save now and
then the grunt of some wild hog, as he was busily routing the
sides of the jeel, (i. e. lake) among the folah weeds, the root
of which aquatic plant that animal will travel many miles in
a night to obtain. While we were becoming rather impatient
a tremendous rush was heard a short distance behind us,
which was quickly followed by the mournful cry of some
victim in distress. It was quite impossible to see what it
was, on account of the thickness of the jungle, but there can
be little doubt that it was a leopard, which had surprised ad
hounded upon a deer or fawn, from the growling and snarling
intonations that fell upon our ears immediately afterwards.
Suddenly the serang, who was seated in a tree by the side of
hyena speak, there's a tiger at
us, gently said, " I hear a
hand." The natives say that the former animal is wont to
follow close upon the heels of the tiger in his prowls, to prey
upon his captive after the latter has abandoned it. In less
than five minutes after the serang had spoken, a magnificent
sight presented itself to our view ; two large tigers, apparently
a male and female, approached with stately pace towards the

During the whole of yesterday afternoon the police and

Amongst others they proceeded to the house of M. Deere-

open the doors, and seized several articles. Gendarmes then
went in pursuit of M. Decrehen, who was arrested and
taken to the bureau of public safety. He is reported to have
had a violent altercation with the Minister of War. As M.
Decrehon alighted from the carriage before the door of the
Minister of the Interior, he succeeding in escaping, but was
subsequently recaptured. Large bodies of people assembled
about the streets, and troops are stationed about the town.
M. Decrehen has been interrogated, but nothing is as yet
known. Some other arrests have taken place, and the guards
at the posts about the town have been doubled. A battalion
of the 10th has just arrived at Brussels.
