FINE ARTS.
PORTRAIT OF LIEUTENANT-GENERA!
SIR CHARLES JAMES NAPIER, G.C-13.1
Governor of Z:inde.
A tine, bolt, characteristic likeness of this renowned
Captain has here represented him in the costume ha'
bitually worn by him when, as Governor of Sind,e,l
he made his celebrated campaign against the Hill
Tribes. In the back ground are visible the rock!
fastness of Trukkee, with its natural barriers of stone,
1,000 feet in height, where he compelled the barbarian°
to surrender. The lithographer (Morton), and the
draughtsman (Smart) have between them pro"
duced a plate not unworthy of the emiment publish.
ing house of the Messrs. Colnaghi • and have
afforded all the admirers of valour and genius, °(
statesmanship, generalship, and administrative caps'
city, an opportunity to obtain the semblance of one
who combines in himself all those great qualities in
such a remarkable degree. At a time when the Con'
flueror of Sinde is expected to appear again 1181
warrior in the Punjaub this sketch of his heroic 001'
vagle features will not be the less acceptable.

THE MODERN CINCINNATUS.—A roughly drawn
but capital political caricature by " T. G.," in the style
rendered so popular by the genius of H. 8., bas
appeared within the last few days under the above
title. It represents the Hero of Sinde ploughing hls
land after the fashion of the Roman dictator. Ile
waited upon by the Directors (in the character of those
Monks of the Screw so humourously depicted by
Charles Lever in his story of "Jack Hinton, the
Guardsman)"; ; and the penitent officials, crying bu
Peccavimus ! to which, as every one knows Sir Charles
iniuht in a different sense re-pond Peccavi h;file
Sinde), implore him by petition to save the D
Empire from perdition. The pasquinade has proved
prophetic, the Government both in Leadenhall-street
and in owning street having, as is generally bey
lieved, taken advantage of the famous Napier motto
—"Ready, aye, ready for the field."

RRIVAL OF THE QUEEN OF THE BELGIANSre
DOVER, :MARCH s.—Her Majesty the Qu( en 01 the
B Mans lauded here this day from Ostend. Ca13"1.,,'
Buldock, RN., had the honour to bring her Majesty °-
shore, and to escort her to the Waterloo Crescent. Her
Majesty went to Birmingham's %lel Ship Hotel, Where,
he Duke and Duchess de Nemours were waiting to as
company her to Claremont. At half-past five the spell"'
train started for town.

ANTICIPATED REINFORCEMENTS FOB INDIA"
Yesterday orders were dispatched from the Horse Guard`
to the various district generals to suspend the We%s
orders for the discharge of men from the army. Thiso
owing to the iedecisive nature of the last Indian news. 7,
most probably more troops will go to Bengal from ,
country, and thus this service will absord a portion of S"-
contemplated reduction of 7,000 rank and file.
THE CASTLEREAGH CORRESPONDENCE, VOLS.
.T
AND IV.—" The subjects treated of in these volumes sr"
the Completion of the Legislative Union," Coecessioll
to Catholics and Dissenters,' and 'Emmet's Insurrectiolh
subjects of paramount importance in their day, and tw°
of them of vital importance, not merely at the presentlo°:
went, but affecting the future safety and stability oft
empire. When the first and second volumes of 111;
work were published, we ventured to affirm respecdll°
them that they constituted the most valuable contribili
tion to modern history that we knew of. A perusal se
the third and fourth volumes coefirms the opinion W
then expressed. The Castlereagh Correspondence is °o
indispensable book for every stuient of modern history,'
but its importance at the present juncture of affairs Al,
scarcely possible to appreciate, should the Whig Golerhn,,
ment, as it is supposed they will do, bring forward
Lord John Russell in 1849, that plan of the John 11;0
sell, Duke of Bedford, for the payment of the Calh°_,,,
clergy in Ireland, which was suggested so many ye,
ago. Should such a proposition be submitted for diet;
sion in either House of Parliament, we venture to preol
there is no work that will be so frequently referred 101-4
the Castlereagh Correspondence. It abounds in Lo'Nd
important documeints bearing upon this matter, 1,1,11
_„,
illustrating it in whatever light it may be viewed. -
