THE ARTS.—The Portrait of HIS MAJESTY,
by Sir TUOMAS 14A wRENceI which, we presume,
is to grace the ensuing Exhibition, is one of the
first productions of British genius. The likeness
is exact in complexion as well as in the features.
His MAJESTY is seated on a sofa, and appears
with a smiling countenance, as if gratified with
the approach of a faiiourite friend. The cos.
fume i!) princely, all the 'subordinate parts
are finished with mechanical dexterity, and
the whole is dignified and elegant. This
great Artist has also finished. an excellent whole
length of , Lord HAni.woon, which, while it
calls for the admiration of criticism, will give
pleasure to the Country, in presenting -a faith-
ful Portrait of this liberal and triily- patriotic
Nobleman.

Mr. C. lirmuis was expected to leave town
last night, on his journey to Lausanne, to escort
to this country the widow of, his lamented bro-
ther, who has not left behind him an equal or-
nament of the British Stage,. which his example
contributed so much to improve and to adorn.
Mrs. SIDDONI hasbeen inconsolable ever since
the account of the death of her favourite brother arrived in
England. So little did this eminent individual expect the painful
intelligence, that. we believe she and her accomplished daugh-
ter were preparing to pay a visit to Mr. and Mrs. KElltstE at
Lausanne, anti to remain in Switzerland daring the
