PORTRA.IT OF SIR WILLIAM MOLESWORTIL

We have received a portrait of this lamented statesman, engraved in mezzotint by Mr. Walker, of Margaret Street. The figure is standing in three-quarters length ; the attitude simple and manly ; and there is peculiarly lifelike expression in the face,—an expression at once thought- ful, kindly, and quick, as if the original were engaged in some sen0011 conversation, and about to reply. The whole has something of the exact comprehensiveness of a photograph. It appears, however, to be after H painted portrait, judging by the breadth of treatment. The artist is not named ; but his work is a fine and dignified likeness, to which juatiee has been done by a skilful engraver.
