PHOTOGRAPHIC PORTRAITS.—We took au 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.

ront t Observer.
PHOTOGRAPHIC (F
PORI RAlhe
)TS.—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,
makes "no mistake." There is such subtilty of touch and
tone in the likeness as might fill a Vandyke or a Lewrenee
at 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 their 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.
(From the Naval and Military Gazette.)
PHOTOGRAPHIC PORTRAITS.—For some time it was

operate satisfactorily on the human face and form,

RXTRAOILDI ART FACT

—MECIATURETICiUItES.—It is
Jdily and personally the individual who is the sitter. It is
,s 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, (for this is accomplished in the sixth part of a mi-
nute)---but it affords to artists themselves the surest guide
for copying other likenesses, whether in miniature, or in oil
paintings as large as life.
Specimens may be seen, and Orders rece;ved. at Mr. L.%-

MARTINDALE BROTHERS

HAVING some time since announced their determination
to retire from business, but being unable to dispose of
their Premises (which they hold for a term), they have been
induced to take advantage of the present _

VELVET, and CACHMERE SHAWLS ; CHENE ROYALS,

and excelled by none in the Town.

still further reduction.
