THE ARTS.—Sir THOMAS LAWRENCE has just
finished a Portrait of the Loan CHANCELLOR,
which is not only the most faithful likeness that
has ever appeared of his Lordship, but is one of
the finest specimens of the Art of PORTRAY;
PAINTING that has perhaps ever been seen. It.
is, in fact, hardly possible to look at the picture
without doubting whether the venerable original
himself is not actually sitting before the specta-
tor. This admirable Artist is also proceeding
with a whole length of the Duke of WELLING-
TON, which promises to be equally exact in point
of similitude, as well as in all the force, truth,
and beauty of professional excellence. We hope
that they are both intended for the ensuing Ex-
hibition, as the Public will then have the plea.
sure of beholding a correct representation of the
two great props and ornaments of the country in
its legislative and military protection.

Mr. ROCHFORT who married the celebrated
HARRIETTE WILSON, has no claim whatever to.
the Earldom of BELVEDERE, as some public
Journals have asserted, the title being extinct,
and the estates devolving, on the death of the
Countess of LANESBOROUGU, on the present Earl,
her grandson.
INFANTICIDE.—On Saturday an investigation
took place before Mr. Hedger, a Surrey Magistrate, at the Lark
Hall public-house, Clapham, respecting the death of an in.
fact. It appeared that a single woman, named Hannah
Sturge, who resided in Lark Hall-lane, while engaged at a
neighbour's house, was taken ill and obliged to re-
turn home : she immediately proceeded to her room,
and locked herself in : but the landlady, being alarmed
at such conduct, fbllowed her, and with some difficulty en-
tered the room. Sturge looked very ill, but she was engaged.
in washing some foul clothes. The landlady obtained a very
unsatisfactory account from her, and went to make further
inquiries at the house where she had been to work. In her ab.
Bence, Sturge was observed to carry a pail into the water-closet,
and upon the return of the landlady with a Doctor, he said the
woman had been recently delivered, and the privy having
been searched, the body of a full grown female infiint was
found. From the depth at which the body was discovered., it,
appeared to have been rammed down with a broom-handle,
which was found near the spot. It appearing that the woman
could not with safety be brought before the illagistratel 010
investigation was postponed,
