BUST OF DANIEL WEBSTER.
A bust of the eminent American by Mr. J. C. King, commissioned by Lord Ashburnham, has been on view this week at Messrs. Graves's. Web- ster's face, though not free from a certain grotesqueness in advanced age, was well adapted for sculpture, chiefly in virtue of the great cavernous eyes under the rigid brow, and of the firm-set mouth. Mr. King has Produced a respectable work of art, and a portrait which has the air of accuracy both inherently and as compared with other likenesses.
