FINE ARTS.

PORTRAIT OF FIELD - MARSHAL HIS
GRACE THE DUKE OF WELLINGTON.
Engraved by Wagstaff, from a Painting by Count

D' br s ay.
Count D'Orsay has here produced the most truthful
and characteristic portrait of the Duke of Wellington
that has ever been published. It is not merely a fac-
simile of the features of the Duke, but it is a perfect
transcript of the expression of both the features and
the figure of the Duke, and all who have seen
the Duke even only once .annot fail to be struck with
the remarkable and characteristic expression of his
figure. The portrait was painted during the course of
the present summer. Count D'Orsay had the advantage
o 7 several sittings from his Grace, who has, we understand,
expressed himself highly satisfied both with the picture
and the engraving. The engraving is one of the finest
ever produced. As a work of art it is most valuable—as
an accurate likeness of " the foremost man. of all this
world," it is invaluable.

MR. BOUVERIB'S VISIT TO KILMARNOCK. —The
Hon. Member paid his annual visit to his constituents in
the above burgh on Thursday, and was well received.—
Glasgow Saturday Post.
We understand that alterations on the most ex-
tended scale have been commenced at the Surrey Zoo-
logical Gardens. A new entrance, with Gothic lodges,
a terrace-walk, three hundred feet in length and twenty.
five in width, with fountains, statues, &c., will lead direct
to the glass conservatory. The new entrance will have the
' advantage of being nearer to town and the Kensington-
road, and will be worthy of an establishment which
stands so high in public estimation.
A WOMAN FOUND WlLD.—About three weeks
ago a young woman, twenty-two years of age, and of
the name of Catherine Stewart, living in Brown-
street in the Merkinch, left home, and nobody
knew where she had gone, until a day or two ago
she was discovered in the woods of Leachdin, some
herds having been attracted to where she lay by her
shrieking or singing. She had rolled herself up in
moss till she had made herself as round as a
ball. She had thus lived for seventeen days, subsisting,
it is supposed, on nothing but moss. She was taken
home immediately, almost reduced to a skeleton. She
is recovering, but on account of the great shake such an
unexampled state of existence for so long a time must
have given the constitution, the progress is naturally
slow. It was never thought she was was wrong- in the
mind, though she was observed duller than usual for
some time back.—lnverness Journal.
FATAL ACCIDENTS.-011 Saturday a man of the
name of Luke Chain, a driver, in the employ of Mr.
Gunn, butcher, Walker's-court, Pulteney-street,, Soho,
died at St. George's Hospital, from injuries he received
in the head a few days ago. He was driving some sheep
along the Bayswater-road, when he was knocked down
by a horse, which was in a chaise. On being found to
be severely injured about the head, he was taken to the
above institution. The driver of the vehicle was not
stopped. The police have received information of the
fatal termination, and are in search of the person causing
the accident. A few hours previous to his death, a man
of the name of Thomas Mahony also died in the hospital
from injuries received from falling from a ladder, while
at work on the premises of Mr. Osborne's nursery

grounds, Fulham.
On Sunday morning a sermon was preached before
the Lord Mayor of London, Sheriff Kinnard, Lord'
Dudley Stuart, Sir Chapman Marshall, and Mr.
Pritchard, High Bailiff of Southwark, by the Bishop
of London, in aid of the funds for the support
of the parochial national schools of the district. 'The
church, which is calculated to accommodate upwards of
2,000 persons, was completely filled upon the occasion.
The appeal of the Bishop was liberally responded to,
and a collection, amounting to 551., was the result. A
sermon was also preached in the evening, by the Rev.
Mr. Herbert Seymour, M.A., ii:rmerly evening lecturer
at St. George's Church, Southwa.rk, and after a most
ea: rnest appeal in aid of the funds for supporting the
