INDIAN CURIOSITIES.

WE have seen at WALKER'S, 221, Regent Street, two curious speci- mens of Indian miniatures of Rajahs, which are very elaborately finished a the lace dresses, jewels, and other ornaments, in particular. Like all barbarous delineations of the face, they are in profile, and have little re-- lief or light and shade, and possess strong character, amounting almost to the grotesque. They are worked up minutely with hatching, as in our miniatures. A specimen of the Egyptian Ibis, of a rich crimson colour, and some exquisitely beautiful humming-birds, of superb plumage; also caught our eye with their brilliant colours.
