THE ABORIGINALS' PORTRAITS. - The portraits of the aboriginal natives recently taken by Mr. Woolley to the order of the Intercolonial Exhibition Commissioners, have been very handsomely framed by Mr. Hood, of Elizabeth-street, and were forwarded by the Southern Cross yesterday. The three portraits of each of the four women have been set in a couple of colonial light-wood frames, with an ornamental moulding, six pictures in a frame, and the three portraits of the last man are in a frame by themselves. We have already described those pictures at length, and we can only now say, that the framing will show them off to advantage, besides affording scope for the exhibition of colonial workmanship in the picture frame department.
