The admirers of Mr. O'Connell are indebted to
Mr. Moore, the sculptor, for an admirable bust of that
Gentleman, which is now exhibited in the Royal Academy.
It is a remarkable fact that, notwithstanding the celebrity,
and, in his own country, extreme popularity, which Mr.
O'Connell has so long enjoyed, no really good likeness of
him has in any shape hitherto appeared. This, we believe,
may be accounted for in his total indifference to all such
auxiliaries to celebrity, and his intolerance of the ennuiante
duty of a sitter. The undertaking, however, of presenting
to his countrymen, and, we may add, to foreigners, an
authentic representation of the man, could not hare fallen
into better hands than those of Mr. Christopher Moore,
whose works are uniformly remarkable for strong charac-i
teristic portraiture. Viewing this bust from a distance, it,
at once strikes the spectator with its very massive appear.!
ance, whieh is thoroughly appropriate, while upon a nearer'
approach it presents to those most familiar with its original'
a perfect likeness, combining at once, and very happily, great
strength and subtlety of expression. They find a seemingly,
vulgar breadth of physiognomy resolve itself into features of,
much delicacy and detailed indications of many combined i
feelings and impulses. The phrenologist will consider it not:
a little interesting that Mr. Moore worked his model for this
bust from Mr. O'Connell's head, without its accustomed arti-1
ficial adjunct, the wig, and that although in the marble this:
can be of no avail, yet in metal casts which he may have oc-1
casion to form hereafter be can easily make provision for the
ad libitum exposure of the cranium, with all its indications.
Yesterday morning, as an elderly lady, named
Dance, residing in Lisson-grove, was crossing the New-road,
she was run against and knocked down by a horse and cab,!
which were passing at a rapid pace at the time. The unfor-1
tunutc lady was severely injured, haiing bad three of her ribs,
fractured, and various other injuries. She is unfortunately,
very deaf, and on hearing the shouts of the cabman and the!
passers by she became bewildered, and ran against the horse:
in spite of the efforts of the cabman, who certainly endea-!'
voured to prevent the collision.
