FINE ARTS.

PORTRAIT OF LIEUTENANT- GENERAL
SIR CHARLES JAMES NAPIER, G. C-13.,
Governor of Afinde.
A fine, bold, characteristic likeness of this renowned
Captain has here represented him in the costume ha'
bitually worn by him when, as Governor of
he made his celebrated campaign against the 111'
Tribes. In the back ground are visible the rocky
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 PIT•
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, of
statesmanship, generalship, and administrative Wl'
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 Coo'
queror of Sinde is expected to appear again ;51
warrior in the Punjaub this sketch of his heroic and
eagle features will not be the less acceptable.

THE MODERN CINCINNATUS.—A roughly draw°
but capital political caricature by " T. G.," in the style
rendered so popular by the genius of H. 8., hi's
appeared within the last few days under the alx;_v.
..:
title. It represents the Hero of Sinde ploughing of
land after the fashion of the Roman dictator. He
waited upon by the Directors (in the character of those
Monks of the Screw so hunaourously depicted bfe
Charles Lever in his story of "Jack Hinton, tht
Guardsman)" ; and the penitent officials, crying' Tips
Peccavimus I to which, as every one knows Sir Char
might in a different sense respond Peccavi (1 1181.e
Sinde), implore him by petition to save the In°ll
Empire from perdition. The pasquinade has pro, t
prophetic the Government both in Leadenball-stree,_.
and in Downing street having, as is generally 7;
lieved, taken advantage of the famous Napier met
—7" Ready, aye, ready for the field."

ARRIVAL OF THE QUEEN OF THE BELGIANS'
DOVER, Mime( s.—Her Majesty the Queen of ait"he
Belgians landed here this day from Ostend. Cepl;7o
Baldock, R.N., had the honour to bring her Maje Artier
shore, and to escort her to the Waterloo Crescent.

Majesty went to Birmingham's Royal Ship Hotel, ea

train started for town.
ANTICIPATED REINFORCEMENTS FOR 1ND14..;
Yesterday orders were dispatched from the Horse Glierog
to the various district generals to suspend the reef,
orders for the discharge of men from the army. ,Thisoo
owing to the indecisive natere of the last Indian news*i
most probably more troops will go to Bengal from t',,
,0
country, and thus this service will absord a portion di'
contemplated reduction of 7,000 rank and file.
THE CASTLEREAGH CORRESPONDENCE, VOLS•
AND IV.—" The subjects treated of in these volumes °'•
the Completion of the Legislative Union,' Concessiel3,
to Catholics and Dissenters,' and 'Emmet's Insurrectia'o
subjects of paramount importance in their day, and CA
of them of vital importance, not merely at, the present he

stability Of ele-
empire. When the first and second volumes of
work were published, we ventured to affirm respect'
them that they constituted the most valuable contriv"o-f
tion to modern history that we knew of. A perusal..o
the third and fourth volumes confirms the opinion 00
then expressed. The Castlereagh Correspondence ie

scarcely possible to appreciate, should the Whig GeYery
